Pharoahe Monch Reveals New Albums In The Works...

Shyne · 08-11-2008, 09:20 AM

His first project, Let My People Go, should be out later this year and hopes to bridge the gap between some of today’s artists and fans of his peers.

“Music should be a little more free. We shouldn’t be criticizing as much as we do,” he told The Urban Daily. “The artist and the radio are just as much at fault. But here is a piece of music that you can like. There’s a lot of collaborations. Where as Desire was more just me holding it down, this is going to have some special appearances.”

His second project is a double EP called Rock Vs. Disco. The concept CD is a period piece that takes place in the late 70s and early 80s when Disco emerged and challenged Rock.

“ I grew up on both so this project is like a double EP with a rock influenced side and a disco influenced side. I’m gonna have t-shirts that say Rock vs Disco: Which Do you love?

“Then I have a concept record called the Verses Project with producers I’ve never worked with before. It’ll come out like a comic book and be distributed digitally. It’ll be like Pharoahe vs. Premier and Pharoahe vs RZA. Then you can purchase the whole [series] for . “

In addition to preparing a Making of Internal Affairs (the ten year anniversary of the classic disc is next year) Monch will be releasing “The Hidden Years” which is the music he recorded between Internal Affairs and Desire.

Damn! Dude is gonna have a busy year. Mad props for the info! I'm kinda pissed though, cause I just recently copped another Internal Affairs, a brand new one still in the shrinkwrap for like 25 bucks, eh, it's still an original so fuck it! But those projects should be hot! ('cept for that rock/disco shit)

What? That disco vs. rock joint can be classic, if done right of course.
