Jean Grae is joining epic hip-hop champion Pharoahe Monch this Thursday night for a free show at The Espy.
Pharoahe is all set to release his new album W.A.R. (We Are Renegades), featuring his debut single Shine which will be released through W.A.R Media, in conjunction with Duck Down Music.
W.A.R has been described as reminiscent of hip hop from the early and mid-nineties. In an interview with Spinner, Pharoahe described the album in his own words. “It’s been said that it’s my best album today. It’s the most cohesive album. It’s a call to writers, artists, poets, even 9-5 people who think off the beating path. It’s a call and a warning to them to how the mindset is targeted and obviously the powers that be don’t want thinking individuals with opinions and ideas to be the big percentage of our population. So, I feel like when you are different and you come up with ideas that are creative, you’re kind of looked at as crazy. There’s an attack on that. So, this war is an attack on that, a war against the industry, war against the machine, war against the authority, war within ourselves to not have fear and to express in that manner. It’s an acronym for We Are Renegades.”
Jean Grae, who releases her own new album Cake Or Death, will take the stage with Pahroahe Monch this Thursday 25 November for an un-missable free show at The Espy.
