DGRZZL - "JENESIS" (Offical Music Video) from ASCEND on Vimeo.
In typical Kaiju fashion, MeccaGodZilla returns with sonic alchemy after a 3 year hiatus to produce the new instrumental album titled “ERROARS 2.2: Metal Sakura.” Possibly part of the epic rebirth of Long Island’s raw Hip-Hop/Rap sound, this new seventeen-track LP emanates a global fusion of cultural elements and inspiration.
Influenced by a myriad of experiences while of living in Tokyo, NYC and Long Island, MeccaGodZilla shares a wide palette of musical expression peaking into the roots of Rap, R&B, Experimental, Dancehall and House music.
After the first listen international recording artist and 3X VIMA Award winner Masia One states musically:
“I see a wilting cherry blossom, and when its dipped in metal instead of incinerating it becomes stronger and more beautiful… the metal doesn’t cause them (the blossoms) to fall hard, they are still organic and beautifully graceful, but slowly forming metallic shells…”
Driven by the goal to keep this album 100% Strong Island vibes, MeccaGodZilla foraged locally recruiting Freeport’s very own Last Words and Buhrnum Wood, two MC’s known for extraordinary freestyle ability, to engage in a lyrical joust on the closing feature song “Laundromat Combat.”
“It’s pretty ill to think about the following idea. Long Island, NY has arguably some of the best, most skilled and diverse artists in rap history, notably Rakim, De La Soul, Leaders Of the New School, Prince Paul, Public Enemy, EPMD, Keith Murray, KMD, Roc Marciano and lots more. I aspire to rep for the place I was raised and provide more of that Long Island Sound to the world.”
Pharoahe Monch’s Forthcoming PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) LP Will Be Released On 4-15-2014
With his highly-anticipated fourth solo-LP, “PTSD” (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), Pharoahe Monch re-emerges with a new concept project which finds the ground-breaking emcee tackling PTSD; a severe anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to any event that results in psychological trauma. Throughout the duration of the LP, Monch narrates as an independent artist weary from the war against the industry machine and through the struggle of the black male experience in America.
Pharoahe Monch has been at the forefront of lyrical innovation for two-decades now. Not only is he one of Hip-Hop’s preeminent lyricists, crafting intricate rhyme schemes and intelligent raps, but he is also an incisive political and social commentator, using Hip-Hop as a platform for political engagement.
Rapid Eye Movement featuring Black Thought of the Roots Crew, and produced by long time collaborator Marco Polo is the next look from the album and is a lyrical barrage worthy of these two titans.
Pharoahe Monch's "P.T.S.D." (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) will feature guest appearances from Black Thought, Talib Kweli, Denaun Porter, The Stepkids, Vernon Reid and production from Lee Stone, Marco Polo, Jesse West & Quelle Chris.

"Hopeless meets struggle, meets uplifting, meets rising up, combined with heavy wide/ sample free symphony/synthonic based production. I wanted to challenge myself and get my name among the elite in production. I wanted to make something streamline, yet cohesive that any fan of music can like. Live this record like a movie and be the hero as a listener."
