10/26 PHAROAHE MONCH IN THE JAZZ CAFE IN LONDON PERFORMING HIS SONG "CLAP"

Clap (One Day) from W.A.R. Media on Vimeo.


This song is Monch's anti-police brutality anthem, and serves as his new single off his upcoming LP, W.A.R. (We Are Renegades). The track features Showtyme and MeLa Machinko. Pharoahe explains the song: "Instead of protect and serve, police often escalate situations, as with the cases of Sean Bell, Oscar Grant, or Aiyana Stanley Jones, and hundreds more who fell victim to police violence. I wrote this song to express my frustration, as well as raise the question of how our communities can create safety and prevent violence, with out relying on police." The official video for "Clap (One Day)" will be out in December, and W.A.R. drops in February.

I personally seen him perform this a week ago from today at the Duck Down 15th year anniversary. I can't even imagine what this new album W.A.R. will have in store, I expect this record to be one of Pharoahe's most personal records. Enjoy!!!
