Pharoahe Monch Goes Acapella On 106 & Park's The Backroom

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Pharoahe Monch reminds us that an MC should have bars without a beat, as he delivers his verse from Phonte's "We Go Off" acapella on 106 & Park's The Backroom. Its a short and not so sweet exposition of the mic-bearer's renowned ability to go primal on call, cutting out the beat as soon as it came in, so that you could hear every syllable of every word coming out. For more lessons on ferocious mic-game, cop Monch's recently dropped PTSD LP via iTunes and get learned. Or if you're in the area, catch him at NYC's Littlefield's on May 9th for Heinekin's Beat Society hosted by Torae and Pete Rosenberg. You can watch Monch go off on 106 & Park's The Backroom below.
