I cannot listen to a new Pharoahe Monch song and do anything else effectively. The way he puts words together will make me stop everything to try and comprehend it. Hands down may favorite artist.

[@felon_of_troy]

This album is my introduction to Pharoahe Monch's music and boy am I glad to have come across this album.

[@Alanwking]

Check his stuff with Organized Konfusion and his earlier solo albums. All great stuff.

[@MrBreisMusic]

I've missed hearing Pharoahe. Not only one of the illest multi syllabic rhymers but he has the best rap hand gestures

[@RebelRadioTV]

This is the best tiny desk concert ever made.

Along with everything else (which is all amazing) I am mesmerized by that dudes drum style. Wish I could just get a straight cam of him and his unorthodox setup and play style. Love it.

[@ToluRobertson]

Im convinced its all for show, which in turn makes me not like it. Being different just to be different is weak.

I've always liked Pharaoh since back in the day! he was one of the only dudes to use lots of melodies in his raps even attempt to sing but in a very unique way. This ensemble compliments his style so well! the musicians he got weave so organically it's so calculated just pure artistry! i know people are feeling this cuz it's REAL.

[@daniboy2982]

My man Monch. I lost my brother early in the Pandemic. I already walked the thin line between funtionality and depression, and I struggled to find a silver lining in a world of darkness. In my darkest moments, the album PTSD was like a reminder I was not alone. I still struggle, I cry and some days I see myself giving up... but Im stronger in the battle. Your music is a beacon. Peace.
