Music and Art-Art in Music

Music is important, everyone has his or hers "Life Soundtracks" forever playing and changing in their minds. For me one of those artist would be Pharoahe Monch. Bio by main-man Steve Huey

While a member of the New York City duo Organized Konfusion , Pharoahe Monch developed a reputation as one of underground hip-hop's pre-eminent lyricists, crafting intricate and intelligent raps with partner Prince Poetry . After recording three albums together from 1991-1997, the two split up amicably, and Monch pursued a more aggressive solo style with the terrific independent label Rawkus. He made guest appearances on other artists' records and contributed tracks to the Rawkus compilation Soundbombing II, which raised expectations for his solo debut. The single/video "Simon Says" was released in the summer of 1999 and became a massive hit among rap and club audiences, setting the stage for a surprising debut "Internal Affairs" upon its release several months later. Say real Hip Hop!



In other art/music news Geffen records founder David Geffen just sold his Jackson Pollock painting for $140 milion clams!
Jacksons painting is titled "No. 5 1948". Thats alot of dough for what the unimpressed call spilled paint. More power to you Jackson, where ever you are.
