Pharoahe Monch - W.A.R (We Are Renegades) Duck Down Records: 2011 Pharoahe Monch’s third solo album, W.A.R (We Are Renegades) , dropped via Duck Down Records recently.

His voice has the ability to reach high and low notes with patterns and flows that seem to know no limits. I think that Pharoahe is and has always been the MC’s MC. W.A.R is a great [...]
