'Pharaohe Monch' is an American hip hop artist. He is known for his complex delivery and rhyme scheme. He released three albums as part of the rap duo, Organized Konfusion with Prince Poetry: The self-titled Organized Konfusion, Stress: The Extinction Agenda and The Equinox. All albums received critical reviews, but moderate sales. As a result, the duo split up after recording their final album The Equinox in 1997.
Pharoahe Monch then signed to Rawkus Records, an indie label. After making several guest appearances on albums like the best-selling Soundbombing 2, Monch's much-hyped debut, Internal Affairs was released in 1999. The first single of the album, Simon Says, which was a major hit in 1999, although he was later sued for the use of a Godzilla sample for the beat and forced to remove the song from the album as a result.
His next album, Innervisions is rumored to be released under Denaun Porter's new label featuring production from Dr. Dre, Eminem, Sha Money XL, The Alchemist, Just Blaze, Rockwilder, Lee Stone, Denaun Porter and others. The album is scheduled to be released in late 2005.
In 2002 he appeared on Linkin Park's Reanimation project, rapping on the track High Voltage with Mike Shinoda. The track was produced by Evidence and featured scratches from DJ Babu.
