New Video: "Smash" - Prince Po & Oh No feat. Pharaoh Monch & O.C.

As one half of seminal hip hop duo Organized Konfusion, Prince Po helped elevate lyricism and shape the art form for years to come. After joining forces with Danger Mouse for his classic solo debut, Po is now back with "Animal Serum", a new album which is entirely produced by West Coast beatsmith Oh No.

Oh No has made a name for himself in recent years with a series of acclaimed solo albums, group work as one half of Gangrene (alongside the iconic Alchemist), plus production work on everything from the latest Mos Def album to the soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto V.

With two innovative artists joining forces for the first time, "Animal Serum" is a differently dark and psychedelic experience that even includes a long-awaited Organized Konfusion reunion track on the Pharoahe Monch assisted single “Smash”.

Video directed by Hickory Lawson.

Prince Po and Oh No's new album "Animal Serum". is now in stores and available through digital retailers: iTunes | Amazon

New Joint: "Stand Your Ground" - Pharoahe Monch (Produced by Lee Stone)

Shortly after the George Zimmerman verdict was announced, many artists were releasing tribute tracks to Trayvon Martin. Here is one of the more positive tracks, from Pharoahe Monch over a sick mix and fast paced production from Lee Stone. Track is called "Stand Your Ground".

Check out this official excerpt from Pharoahe's site:

W.A.R. Media releases Pharoahe Monch’s “Stand Your Ground” originally intended track for upcoming PTSD album.

Compelled by the Not Guilty verdict in the murder of Trayvon Martin, Pharoahe Monch has unexpectedly released “Stand Your Ground”. Produced by frequent collaborator Lee Stone, Pharoahe once again demonstrates his ability to utilize hip hop as a platform for political engagement. Monch flips the script on the use of “Stand Your Ground” the highly controversial law used to protect George Zimmerman, giving the power back to the people collectively and defensively against an unjust government system.

Pharoahe Monch W.A.R. (We Are Renegades) + Audio for Clap (one day)

Pharoahe Monch "Clap (one day)" feat. Showtyme & DJ Boogie Blind by duckdown

July 27th 2023:
Lieutenant Gaviston speaks of a recon mission in Kabul, Afghanistan where he discovers classified information that changes EVERYTHING that he believes about this W.A.R. This information is uploaded & transmitted through time. If you eventually hear this; you have been ordained or genetically pre-exposed to have received this information. What you will eventually hear is a WARNING.

These words are powerfully delivered by Idris Elba to set a tone for Pharoahe Monch's upcoming album W.A.R. (We Are Renegades). The material presented is a consistent message from start to finish with new epiphanies exposed after various sets of songs. The order of music helps the listener see the vivid stories that Pharoahe is painting through the use of his lyrics. The production compliments Monch's delivery & takes on a genuine art form that could easily stand on its own.

Live instruments resonate at the start & end of certain tracks, such as his title song W.A.R. featuring Immortal Technique & Vernon Reid. Producers Exile, Marco Polo, M-Phazes, Fatin, Diamond D, Mike Loe, Samiyam, Adam Deitch, Eric Krasno & Pharoahe Monch himself help shape the album into what will be Monch's greatest work to date.

Pharoahe Monch's vision for the album is supported with guest features that provide an eclectic mix of sounds. Fans can look forward to material with Jill Scott, Styles P, Citizen Cope, Jean Grae, Royce Da 5' 9," Immortal Technique, Vernon Reid, Phonte, Mr. Porter, Mela Machinko, Showtyme & DJ Boogie Blind. W.A.R. (We Are Renegades) is scheduled to impact in late March through W.A.R Media/Duck Down Music Inc.
