In honor of the expected Pharaohe Monch release this year, it's time to review one of the best albums you've never heard. If you are familiar with the work of Pharoahe, give yourself a pat on the back. If you are familiar with his group Organized Konfusion, go ahead and give yourself a second pat. If you have already given yourself the appropriate number of pats, ask yourself if you've heard this project. if you answered yes to all three of these I give you a gold star, you win. If you are the general population however, let me educate you. This duo is straight out of the 90s Queens hip-hop scene which was oh so prevalent at the time, and consists of Prince Po, and Pharoahe Monch. Monch handles nearly all of the production, and him and Po share the mic throughout this lp. If you have never heard of these guys, don't get too down on yourself. If you fancy yourself a hip-hop head than I'm a bit taken aback by the fact that you don't know who Pharoahe is, but God knows where the hell Prince Po is these days. Wikipedia claims he released a solo lp in 2007, and is set to put out a project with Oh No this year, but I seriously doubt any of that is true. It may seem a but random to decide not to believe Wikipedia for the first time ever today, but I'd rather believe that after the separation of Organized Konfusion Po got a job at Arby's or something, and has maybe even made me a roast beef sandwich at some point.
