Plus, tour dates with Slaughterhouse...
Pharoahe Monch is gearing up to release his new project W.A.R. (We Are Renegades) through a partnership with Duck Down Music and his company W.A.R. Media. W.A.R. is the follow-up album to Pharoahe's Desire project from 2007.
Monch states, "This album deals with conflicts and resolutions of the spirit, the soul, the government, and the industry among other things. Thus far it features Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid, Jean Grae, Styles P, Phonte, Black Thought, with more to come. It also features production from M-Phazes, Marco Polo, Mike Low, Fatin, Lee Stone, Exile and others to be announced. I am working diligently to finish the work for a summer release and I am honored to join forces with the Duck Down family during their 15 year anniversary."
Pharoahe Monch will play at Duck Down's 15 Year Anniversary SXSW Showcase at The Scoot Inn today. Doors are open at 8PM.
