After A 4-Year Hiatus Army Of The Pharaohs Returns With New LP “In Death Reborn”
Initiated in 1998 by Jedi Mind Tricks front-man Vinnie Paz as homage to the incredible rap crews of the 80’s and early 90’s, the Army of the Pharaohs has, from its outset, been an ever-evolving collective of celebrated emcees from the indie hip-hop scene. Founding members Vinnie Paz and Esoteric were featured on the crew’s original 12-inch single, “Five Perfect Exertions,” in 1998 and remain with the crew today. With the release of their debut studio album, The Torture Papers in 2006, the Pharaoh clique expanded to include accomplished solo emcees Apathy, Celph Titled, King Syze, Reef the Lost Cauze, and the Philly hip-hop duo and frequent Jedi Mind Tricks collaborators Outerspace.
In its nearly two decades, AOTP has released three studio albums alongside countless solo albums and side projects from its lineup of emcees that have been some of the most critically-acclaimed and best-selling indie hip hop records of the past 20-years. With the release of their newest effort, In Death Reborn, the Army returns after a four-year hiatus to release its fourth group album featuring the lead single/video for “God Particle” featuring Vinnie Paz, Planetary, Esoteric, Apathy & Celph Titled and produced by Stu Bangas. The album also features appearances by Blacastan, Zilla, Block McCloud, Demoz, Doap Nixon & King Magnetic.

The song features legendary MC Apathy & legendary Pimp Wais P. The song produced by Stu Bangas. Video directed by R.M.L & shot by G. Grove (Grandpa Grove).

"Connecticut emcees, ILLUS and APATHY join forces to create a True-School HipHop anthem that combines hard-hitting, Boom-Bap production (by APATHY) with their signature lyrical fire that illustrates their love, passion, and dedication for the art and culture as well as their gift and ability to write powerful songs with substance, heart and soul. The Legendary DJ JOHNNY JUICE from PUBLIC ENEMY lays down the scratches making it very clear that these talented emcees will be here "Forever". Play this loud!"
Written and performed by ILLUS @AdamWallenta and APATHY @ApathyDGZ
Produced and Mixed by APATHY
Scratches by and Co-Produced by DJ JOHNNY JUICE @johnnyjuice
New ILLUS album- "FAMILY FIRST" available on iTunes now(http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/family-first/id523152919)
As Apathy, like most of us, winds down 2011 and prepares for 2012 (which will see new LP’s from The Demigodz & Army Of The Pharaohs and more) he gets in the X-Mas spirit with this new leak and he runs thru a wish of X-Mas wishes that most B-Boys & Girls can co-sign.
Happy Holidays!
