Pharoahe Monch drops a response to the Trayvon Martin verdict in verse with "Stand Your Ground" produced by Lee Stone - a rough cut of a tribute that Monch decided to drop, despite the fact that it isn't officially finished. The track is a hard driving punk-tinged blues that finds the expert lyricist spreading his message in plain English; his emphasis on the word stand forces the lyrics of the refrain from mere political reference into an urgent call to action. The immediacy of Pharoahe Monch's tone plays like a well-timed response to the question reverberating across social media platforms as people outraged at the ruling in the Trayvon Martin trial ask what to do next. With this track, Pharoahe Monch offers a bit more fuel for the fire that has been building slowly beneath a good percentage of people in the United States who have tired of injustice and death related to the laws governing gun ownership at the state and national level.
