Pharoahe Monch
Album : Desire
Release Date : June 26th, 2007
Label : SRC

Rapper Pharoahe Monch will release his sophomore album, Desire, through a new deal with the Universal-distributed Street Records Corporation (SRC). Due later this year, the album features a guest spot from Justin Timberlake and was produced by Lee Stone and Denaun Porter.

Steve Rifkind, who also founded the now-defunct Loud Records, formed SRC three years ago through a joint venture with Universal. According to Rifkind, SRC won a bidding war between Bad Boy, Eminem’s Shady Records, and Sony over Monch’s new material.

On a creative and business level, I’ve never been this excited," Monch said via a statement. "I’ve had the time to work on this album, and being a perfectionist, it’s really come to fruition. It’s very soulful, very gospel, a fresh, new sound for me. It shows so much growth spiritually, almost as if I’m a new artist. When I play the record for people, that’s how they hear it."

Desire will be Monch’s first album since his 1999 debut Internal Affairs, on Rawkus Records.

Pharoahe Monch Desire, by haloedbmyname [2007-07-29 03:34:07]

I bought the CD and listened to it on a trip down the coast from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles. I was most impressed by the song “trilogy” which expertly tells a story of adultery, extortion, and revenge. The production on this album is earnest and can be enjoyed for its attempts to create soul from synths, some live collaboration, and carefull samples. The lyrics are thought provoking and clever and are most impressive when Pharoahe is using his skills to describe a situation (i.e "Hold on") rather than bragging about what he is and what you are not (i.e."what it is"). The songs “Body Baby” and “Bar Tap” are not good. Positive erudite rappers can never contact the sexual immediacy that dumb rappers who can’t think passed their d***s seem to conjure into hits almost unconsciously. Another issue is that the use of R&B choruses on every song is kind of like when three times dope got with Steve Arrington from Slave for live from Akniculous land (read : not good). That said, I would recommend you buy or download this CD. It may be the only thing to save you from the thug-rappers of the future who will weigh you down with a platinum chain and then suck your brain out of its skull.

"Very contagious raps should be trapped in cages through stages of wackness, Pharoaohe’s raps are blazin" But you all don’t know anything about that. No wonder so many labels are after this guy.
