Did you know Pharoahe Monch just dropped an album, “Lost In Translation,” available for ‘name your price‘ on his Bandcamp page? I didn’t. Apparently, it is his Valentine’s Day gift to us all, released on Feb 14th and is much appreciated! (Thanks Pharoahe, we didn’t know you cared!)
The project is a retrospective collection of previously released songs and features from 2000 to 2015, but it does include one new song “Home (HGH)” featuring Phonte’ and Tamisha. “Lost In Translation” is no joke, also featuring Jill Scott, Justin Timberlake, Will.I.Am, Mela Machinko, jazz great Robert Glasper and more!
The theme of the collection is “Love” of course, hence the Valentine’s Day release date (kinda like MCMI’s “Love Is” mixtape, shameless self-plug). Stream “Lost In Translation” or download it for anything you want to contribute (drop some $, don’t be a moocher! lol). Remember, support the artists whose music you dig, or else don’t complain about what you hear on the radio.

PHAROAHE MONCH: Lost In Translation
When this song first dropped I posted it on the site and thought that possibly they (Prince Po, Pharoahe Monch & O.C.) got together and decided reunite on this track after all rocking at the Masters Of The Underground/Organized Konfusion – Stress:Extinction Agenda 20yr anniversary show we thew at SRB back in January (EPIC EVENT BTW!). Well don’t I feel like an ass. Not only did they ALREADY make this song but they shot the video for it at OUR event! (peep the banner in the back?) There were a TON of hip hop’s elite at the event, see how many you can catch with the camera whizzing by capturing the mood of the song “Smash” off Prince Po & Oh No‘s album “Animal Serum.” now in stores everywhere. lets see I see D-stroy…Doc Ahk… Rockwilder….oh look! there’s me and Jean Grae acting a fool on stage! lmao.

Fresh off headlining alongside his old partner Prince Po and re-forming Organized Konfusion for MCMI’s “Masters of the underground” show, at SRB (they tore that sh*t dowwwn!), Pharoahe Monch drops “Bad MF“, off his highly-anticipated fourth solo-LP, “PTSD” (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Pharoahe a bad MF? Was there ever any doubt? Can’t wait for this album to drop in April.

Last year MCMI Records dropped the HYDRA song “Love Is …” right before Valentine’s Day. The song “Love Is …”, produced by Keith “WildChild” Middleton, is a celebration of the Love of Hip Hop and a challenge to any rappers who do this for the money, without a true Love for the art.
Now in 2014, on Valentine’s Day, we present yo you … “The LOVE IS Mixtape”, mixed by DJ GMS, with a special intro from LR Blitzkrieg and testimonials from Masta Ace, Torae, Sha Stimuli, PackFM, Substantial, Chordz Cordero, Rich Medina, DP One, WildChild and many more, talking about what Hip Hop means to them.
This 80 minute continuous blend of amazing music is a tribute to all the Hip Hop songs that celebrate Love of music, Love of the culture, Love of being in the studio, and Love of making something special for the people!
There are so many great artists on this CD, from The ROOTS, to SLUM VILLAGE, TORAE, MASTA ACE, BUSTA RHYMES, COMMON, MOS DEF, NAS, SCARFACE, ATCQ, ERYKAH BADU, SOUL PURPOSE, PHAROAHE MONCH, SNOOP, Dr. DRE, DE LA SOUL … the list goes on and on. And of course, HYDRA!
So the next time you are in the mood for some “Love & Hip Hop”, put down the TV remote and put on “The LOVE IS Mixtape” – absolutely, 100% FREE!!! If you want to support, show your Love by coming to an event, copping a Tee or Sweatshirt off MCMIapparel.com, or other music on MCMI Records.
