Pharoahe Monch Refuses To Be Boxed In. He Makes Soul-Jazz With Marcus Strickland (Audio)
BY PAUL MEARA • OCTOBER 26, 2018
Pharoahe Monch has been busy lately. Ambrosia For Heads recently caught up with the Queens MC last month during J. Period’s “live mixtape” show that Monch did with a slew of Hip-Hop legends, including Rakim, Black Thought, Dres, and others. He’s also wrapping up a new solo LP he describes as his “hardest” and “darkest” work to date.
Monch has also been on other artist’s work as well. Most recently, he was a guest MC on saxophonist Marcus Strickland’s latest single from his upcoming album. Joined by Bilal on the hook and acclaimed journalist/wordsmith Greg Tate, who also spits some bars, Pharoahe presents some of his trademark metaphorical knowledge on the song, which takes it in a whole new direction.
