Pharoah Monch is a rapper from South Jamaica, Queens, NY. Known as one of the dopest underground rappers of the 1990s, Pharoah Monch released three acclaimed projects with the duo Organized Konfusion and has had a prolific solo career since then. Pharoah Monch has collaborated with hip-hop legends like 50 Cent, Mos Def, Black Thought, J Dilla, Ghostface Killah, Talib Kweli and many more.
In this episode, Doc and Ali connect with the hip-hop legend via Zoom to get his thoughts on #FireInLittleAfrica, the Tulsa Race Massacre and Black Wallstreet. They discuss the translation of raw emotion to music, and how that can be a therapeutic way to “exorcise” our feelings during this tumultuous time. Pharoahe also describes the concept behind his new supergroup TH1RT3EN’s debut album ‘A Magnificent Day For An Exorcism’ and the lead single ‘Fight’ which features Cypress Hill.
A Magnificent Day for an Exorcism drops on Jan. 22.
