I am currently listening to the forthcoming album from Pharoahe Monch, Desire, and sweet child of mine is it ever astounding.

There's a single out at the moment, Push, and yes it's ace, but the whole album really takes it to another level. The whole rap / hip hop genre to my mind is about 98% bullshit, 2% genius, and this fits firmly in the 2%, along with the likes of NWA, Public Enemy and Method Man.

It's out on June 26th. Seriously, whatever you're into, buy it - this is an example of when a piece of work is such a high standard, it transcends genres.

Edit - I originally wrote this having listened to the first four or five tracks, which are indeed brilliant. Most of the rest isn't quite up to the same standard, I've come to the conclusion having listened to it all a few times over. Still well worth getting hold of though.
