Pharoahe Monch‘s third solo album W.A.R. (We Are Renegades) will release October 26. The Queens, New York emcee will team his W.A.R. imprint with Buckshot and Dru Ha’s Duck Down Records for their first collaboration. A tracklisting has been revealed from the album, after Monch premiered the Diamond D-produced “Shine” 
on HipHopDX last month.
Guests include Styles P, who made 2002’s “The Life” with Monch. Other guests include Phonte, Jean Grae and Slaughterhouse’s Royce Da 5’9″.
The present tracklisting is as follows:
1. Intro – Skit (feat. Idris Elba)
2. Evolve
3. W.A.R. (feat. Vernon Reid)
4. Clap
5. The Hitman
6. Black Hand Side (feat. Styles P & Phonte (of Little Brother))
7. Let My People Go
8. Shine (feat. Mela Machinko)
9. Haile Selassie Karate (feat. Denaun Porter)
10. Assassins (feat. Jean Grae & Royce Da 5’9”)
11. Illusions
12. Mama’s Boy
13. Still Standing (feat. Jill Scott)
(August 17)
UPDATE: Pharoahe Monch’s third solo album and Duck Down debut has been delayed for nearly six months, but that hasn’t changed the album much. With the album due March 22, the latest tracklisting is available. As you can see, very little has changed since we posted it back in August.

Below is a flyer for the album, which mimics what the cover will look like.
can’t wait for that crazy, socially relevant pharoahe flow
That “Assassins” looks like lyrical spazzing at it’s highest quality-too bad Pharoahe will wipe the floor with them
probably album of the year
“Your chicks text us like Dallas and Alston!”-Desire was epic

Hope this album is great, Desire was dissapointing, but still a good album, I just want more with this one

Stringer Bell is on it, huh?
Still no Prince Po?
Looking forward regardless.
aaah, ok you get cookie. Did you see P.M on Price Po’s CD? that should answer you question.
I hope Pharoah can put together a solid album. Until then I will be waiting for J Cole and Sudan. His new mixtape Episode 4 is on repeat right now. Promising artist
