Pharoahe Monch is currently working on a project inspired by rock music.

Last year, Pharoahe Monch dropped off his excellent third solo album W.A.R. (We Are Renegades), but he’s switching up his style for his next LP. During an interview with Montreality, P revealed that he’s currently working on a project titled Rock vs. Disco, inspired by rock music, and recently delivered a verse for Marco Polo’s Port Authority 2.

“I’m working on a new project called Rock vs. Disco. A lot of rock joints. A lot of beats,” he said. “I just did a song for Marco Polo for his up-and-coming album, Port Authority 2. I just been listening to the verse over and over because it came out really crazy.”

Monch also ran off a shortlist of artists with whom he’d like to collaborate. Though he’s appeared on records with a who’s who of musicians, his wish list is slanted towards Hip Hop.

“Too many people. There are too many. I can keep running off names and keep going for an hour. D’Angelo, Bilal, Georgia Anne Muldrow, [GZA], Nas, Raekwon…”
