Now settled at Steve Rifkind�s SRC Records, Pharoahe Monch, one of Hip-Hop�s most gifted lyricists, is ready to reintroduce himself to a rap world crying out for genuine artists with his long-awaited album,Desire. At a time when a rapper�s image and financial status appear to capture the attention of fans more than lyrical content and creative production, Pharoahe has refused to �dumb-down� his new project, choosing instead to adhere to the rules and principles he learnt growing-up in Hip-Hop�s Golden Age - be original, be true to yourself and be as skilful as possible on the mic device. But that said; don�t expect to hear Monch stuck in a time-warp on Desire. With beats from the likes of Mr. Porter (Kon-Artist of D12), The Alchemist, Detroit�s Black Milk and long-time collaborator Lee Stone, the lyrical king from Queens is definitely looking to move the art form of Hip-Hop forward with this album.
