Pharoahe draws gun, waits for “Desire”
When will Pharoahe Monch’s album come out? It’s been eight years since 1999’s Internal Affairs, and nothing but promises since.

Can’t remember). Then he signed with SRC/Universal, and dropped "Push" last year as the prelude to the long-awaited Desire. Nearly two years in the making, it’s already been pushed back numerous times.
