Rapper Pharoahe Monch is one of the most respected lyricists in the game. Much like the title of his new single, the New York rhymer is a ‘Bad MF’ on the mic.


The song, produced by Lee Stone, features Monch as a maniac on the warpath, annihilating MCs in his wake.


“They mad ’cause they can’t stop me / ‘Cause I said, ‘F— swag’ I got moxie / Lyrical ecstasy, I got that Oxy / Contin poppin,’ they can’t carbon copy or mock me,” he raps. He then adds, “It’s not a game / I’m not a rook / Y’all know the name / Y’all love the look.”


Monch is currently working on his fourth solo album, ‘PTSD’ (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), due in April. On the LP, Monch narrates a story of an indie artist waging a war against the strangleholds of the music industry machine. The collection boasts guest appearances from Black Thought, Talib Kweli and more.
