标题：Pharoahe Monch
个人简介
Pharoahe Monch，原名Tory Donald Jamerson，1972年10月31日出生于纽约皇后区。座位一个美国hip hop艺人，闻名于其复句式和多音节押韵方式。（这一点可以从参考RAKIM。）
Pharoahe Monch的名字来源于猴子玩具，Monchhichis。Monch在剪了一个很挫的发型后看起来就像黑猩猩"，高中学校的女生都开始叫他"Mon Chi Chi"，后来在简短后成为了“Monch”。Monch在遇见了组成Organized Konfusion的搭档Prince Po后就舍弃了Pharoahe的名字前缀。而Pharaoh是他在学习埃及的时候选的。
Monch作为和Prince Poetry一起搭档的组合Organized Konfusion一员，一共以组合的名义发行了三张专辑。The self-titled Organized Konfusion ，The Extinction Agenda and The Equinox。他们自己也制作了这三张专辑中大部分的歌曲。所有专辑都收到了肯定的评论，但销量却不尽人意。于是，组合在97年录制完最后一张专辑The Equinox后由Prince Poetry拒绝了组合的重新组合而彻底解散了。
Pharoahe Monch 于是和独立唱片公司Rawkus Records签约。先前是座位客串嘉宾出现在和一系列Rawkus专辑里，例如最畅销专辑，Soundbombing2，接著Monch的首张个人专辑 Internal Affairs于1999年发行。这张专辑的第一支单曲 Simon Says，是1999重点打榜歌曲。接著因为他被控告使用了Godzilla的采样作为伴奏，然后被强迫将这首这从专辑中移出。2001年他的另一首单曲Got You同样是重点打榜歌曲，但最终还是销量欠佳。2003年，Pharoahe发行了他再Rawkus Records里最有一张单曲，Agent Orange，一首由战争产生灵感的歌曲，重现了1991年Organized Konfusion 的歌曲"Releasing Hypnotical Gases"。
Pharoahe的单曲“Simon Says”也出现在2000年电影查理的天使。在影片中Sam Rockwell在城堡上点燃一只香烟，一手抓住Drew Barrymore作为人质的时候，观众可以强烈感受到这首歌和那令人心动的节奏。另外，Pharoahe的单曲“Right Here”和“Simon Says”也出现在电影Boiler Room。
Pharaoche同时也和说唱团体THE HRSUM有著联系，虽然不是这个四人团体的成员，他仍一致坚持如果有一天团体要扩张的话他一定要加入进去。
有传言说他的下一张专辑，Innervisions，将烙上Denaun Porter's旗下新的Shady Records的Runyon Ave烙印。但是显然谣言以不攻自破。Monch已经声明和Wu-Tang Clan, David Banner以及Terror Squad的公司Street Records Corporation签约。而计划于2006年末发行的专辑也被推迟到2007年4月。新专辑名为Desire,Monch讨论到这张专辑“它更多的像灵歌，福音，一个全新的我的声音。”新专辑的主打单曲是其本人亲手曹早制作的“Push”和“Let's Go”。MV及单曲CD也于2006年9乐发行。Monch在2007年2月的布鲁克林音乐节上发行了新的MV“When the Gun Draws”。
在说唱界声名显赫的Diddy的最新专辑Press Play，Monch参与到The Future的制作并作词，同时于Mobb Deep的Havoc一起也写了“Hold Up”。他所作词明显的涵盖了不仅是内容更是照顾了Diddy的押韵。
1997年《Equinox》之后，Organized Konfusion因为与如潮好评不相称的糟糕推广终于分解，开始了各自的solo生涯。团体中较为引人注目的Pharoahe Monch很快就签约rawkus，发行了自己的专辑《Internal Affairs》，从封面就可以看出这是一张愤怒的硬核说唱专辑，Pharoahe快速如机关枪的flow和广阔的词汇量在这张专辑中展露无疑，在专辑中有Canibus和M.O.P.等硬核强人参与，特别是单曲“Simon Says”一曲及其remix（邀到Lady Luck，Redman，Method Man，Shabaam Shadeeq和Busta Rhymes客串）值得铭记。而由Diamond D制作、小夜曲般的“The Light”和“The Truth”（由Common和Talib Kweli相助）两曲则是专辑的柔美一面。遗憾地是因为采样版权方面的问题，这张经典专辑几乎刚出版不久就成为绝版。
2007年6月26日，离开人们实现达8年之久的麦克风怪兽Pharoahe Monch和他个人第二张专辑《Desire》回来了，期间经历了Rawkus的倒闭，被Aftermath冷藏，Pharoahe的热情却丝毫没有减退，2006年秋天放出的同名曲“Desire”由The Alchemist制作，让人足够放心Pharoahe并没有退步。专辑中精彩的远不只有这首歌，翻唱公敌名曲的“Welcome to the Terrodome”，70年代funk风的“Body Baby”，Organized Konfusion第二张《Stress：Extinction Agenda》中名曲“Stray Bullet”后续篇的“When The Gun Draws”以及与Erykah Badu合作的“Hold On”都是专辑的亮点。值得一提的是，来自D12的Mr.Porter在这张里相当出彩，不但担任了一部分背景声，而且制作也将Dr.Dre学得十足到位。
