Pharoahe Monch
Queens NYC native Pharoahe Monch first bursted into the scene part of the legendary group Organized Konfusion with Prince Poetry in 1991. Shortly after the duo disbanded, Monch stunned critics and fans with his debut solo album, 'Internal Affairs,' in 1999 spawning the breakout hit "Simon Says." Decades before Drake, Monch sang his choruses with soul driven melody on songs like "Queens" which chronicled the tragic life of an aspiring athlete taken under by the mean streets. "Simon Says", the crowd moving hit powered by a Godzilla movie sample, itself became a monster single, propelling Monch to commercial success. The song appeared in the block-buster movie Charlie's Angels, and well as Boiler Room, which also featured "Right Here." Monch took a break from album crafting following the dissolution of Rawkus, but he wasn't totally gone. In 2001 he appeared on the soundtrack to the Denzel Washington Oscar winning vehicle Training Day with the unapologetic "F**k You". He also played the role of ghostwriter for Sean "Diddy" Combs on his 2006 well-received album, 'Press Play.' Monch's hand is evident on tracks, "The Future" and Havoc of Mobb Deep-featured track "The Holdup." After a label bidding war, he resurfaced 8 years later with another universally lauded album, 'Desire,' (2007) garnering attention from mainstream media and song placement on the highly popular Madden NFL 08 video game. This time, Monch spread the production out and focused on his delivery, again crafting verses of variable speeds, deliveries, rhythms and concepts like very few have ever done. Now in 2011, Pharoahe Monch stands with his recently released 'W.A.R. (We Are Renegades),' taking a stand for higher thought and for the love of the art in Hip-Hop culture; standing firm against the commoditization of the music and so many lowbrow approaches to the art form. "This is a science and it filters into our being. This is what W.A.R. is about. This record is my truth as it was written when I made it," says Monch. "I would like this album to be on a frequency to let you open the doors to your God-self. I want this harmony to give you goose bumps and raise the hairs on your arms. W.A.R. is a coat of arms against the destruction of art" Armed with an enormous array of skill, talent, and most important, love and soul, Pharoahe Monch sets out to wage war under the flag of his newly created company W.A.R. Media in a partnership with Duck Down Music.

the Primeridian
the primeridian, a hip-hop based, power duo consisting of Jaime Roundtree (tree tha scarecrow) and Simeon Viltz (see-me-on) hail from the eclectic, historical music scene of Chicago. With musical influences from blues and R&B, to house and acid jazz, the primeridian fuses these influences into a soulful, jazzy, acid-funk sound independent of musical genres and classification pushing hip-hop to new levels of exposure, experimentation and expressions. With thought-provoking lyrics, a touch of humor, skilled production and musicianship and years of explosive live performances, the primeridian takes a stage by storm with energy, emotion and experience moving crowds of diverse audiences (young and old)! Both artists bring a unique background to the primeridian's music. tree is a native of Chicago's west-side working class community submerged in the socioeconomic trials of urban life. Beyond the simplicity of simple rhyme schemes in everyday hip-hop, tree has a passion for language and continuously research ways to communicate his rhymes in a manner that is innovative and genuine. An old soul griot, he intricately weaves words into poetic lyrics skillfully revealing the tales of the city and the struggles of oppressed people. "My goal is to relay a perspective of life through musical poetry that will appeal to all open minds. Using words and sounds I want to take the audience to an experience that is new and honest," he affirms. tree thus maintain Chicago's down home country feel but keeps the "gritty edge." On the other end of the spectrum, see-me-on AKA V, a native of Chicago's southeast Hyde Park area, represents the 'the soul' of primeridian. Born to a family of gospel and jazz artists, V was 'raised in music.' His work centers on the search for spiritual alignment and growth of character amidst the mayhem of urban madness. With metaphysical imagery and cultural hsitory, V takes the audience on a soul filled "mental ride." "I encourage the audience to read between the lines and not just look at the face value of things. I want to lead them to a space of original thought . . . with spirituality that is collective in essence but objectively different." states V. Disciplined, educated artists who work extensivley with youth, both tree and V have studied and performed with numerous artists of various genres. The primeridian have opened for a number of artists including the legendary Run DMC, Redman, Common, Ludacris, Talib Kweli and many others. They have also performed and toured within the United States and Europe. In 2001, Promihjay 8, Inc. released the album "I'll Meet You In Greenwich" . . . on November 8th, 2005, their next album on the All Natural label "Da AllNighta" was released. While recording their yet to be released album "the morning after," the primeridian integrated longtime friend and High Noon collaborator Race from PCP/Highruallahs/The Late Show into the group. Race states, "Our music is what we are about. It is made up of the things we speak about day to day. It is our life, our dreams, our fantasies, our goals, our beliefs, our failures, and our demons. We not only aspire to give you music to shake that thang to, but also create a masterpiece that can advise you, give you knowledge, something you can learn from. The Music is the Message."

Armed with his brother's hand-me-down turntables, a mixer and passion, he would begin to make his name as one of Chicago's premier party starters. Along with being a founding member of both The Comeups (along side DJ Pickel and Galapagos4 and Now and Again records recording artist Maker) and the DMC and ITF champion Platter Pirates (along side Spryte, Kico, and Vajra), DJ Intel holds down several residencies through out Chicago and has worked everything from charitable events to B boy battles to fashion shows, with crowds ranging from 15 to thousands.
