Pharoahe Monch’s new band Th1rt3en comes through with a melodiously determined new single “666 (Three, Six Word Stories).
Pharoahe Monch has been consistently holding it down as one of the game’s most keen lyricists, if he gets the credit. Flaunting a discography that incorporates darling activities like Infernal Affairs, Desire, and P.T.S.D, the rapper has authoritatively dove heedlessly into another undertaking, collaborating with Daru Jones and Marcus Machado to shape Th1rt3en. With a sound that actualizes live instrumentation, rock-powered impacts, and socio-politically-charged lyricism, Th1rt3en has authoritatively conveyed another new single in “666 (Thee, Six Word Stories).”
In contrast with their past track “Battle,” which highlighted visitor vocals from B-Real, Pharoahe’s most recent discovers him back in a natural area – or, in other words, over a more conventional hip-bounce groove. This isn’t to imply that the band’s impact isn’t there, with Jones and Machado setting out a consistent establishment with some powerful drum work and a soul-filled guitar riff. However, generally, “666” feels more in accordance with Pharoahe’s set up style, his lyricism staying as gnawing as could be expected. “Watch me when I’m exhausted, I’ll strip their nails back torment them,” he raps. “Cigarettes on the eyelids burning them.”
Look at it for yourself now, and watch out for Th1rt3en’s forthcoming collection A Magnificent Day For An Exorcism, arrival in full on January 22nd.
QUOTABLE LYRICS
Watch me when I’m bored, I’ll peel their nails back torture them
Cigarettes on the eyelids scorching them
To the pupil to the iris to the retina
Virus is silencing them like the silencer except I’m more violent
