KNOWLEDGE MUSIC proudly present PHAROAHE MONCH direct from Queens, NEW YORK!

Widely considered one of the best, if not the very best, MC working today, late of the duo ORGANIZED KONFUSION and the man behind the underground classic INTERNAL AFFAIRS, Queens-bred New York rapper PHAROAHE MONCH makes a eagerly awaited return to our shores!

Once the track hit it was pandemonium with fans chanting along to every verse and the now infamous chorus

From his early days in Organized Konfusion to the Rawkus records era, Pharaohe Monch has stayed a vital, relevant artist. Whatever your rap flavour, Monch will make you bounce hard to his high-energy beats, or make you sit quietly, trying to digest his liquid flow of lyrics as they sail through philosophical narratives, crazy metaphors, sex stories and some of the best rhymes you've ever heard. When those horns start layin' that nasty loop for 'Simon Says' - YOU KNOW IT'S ON!!

Pharaohe absolutely smashed it

Monch has worked with a diverse array of artists from MOS DEF to COMMON to TALIB KWELI to BUSTA RHYMES to LINKIN PARK to M.O.P and more recently with Australias own HILLTOP HOODS on the track Classic Example off their latest album.

On his every command, hands shot up in the air and Monch left the crowd simply begging for more

Pharoahe Monchs live shows encapsulate his overwhelming stage presence and talent with slick words and beats - Monch was recently part of the huge cross America - Rock The Bells Tour, featuring basically everyone in the rap game

The crowd erupted as Monch closed with his biggest hit to date - Simon Says

(We Are Renegades). Get yourself up to speed for his tongue-twisting, fast paced raps!!
