Pharoahe Monch encourages you to “Stand Your Ground” on his latest track.
Motivated by the recent verdict of the Zimmerman trial, Pharoahe Monch prematurely releases “Stand Your Ground,” a track that was originally supposed to debut on his forthcoming ‘PTSD’ LP.
Lee Stone, a frequent collaborator of Monch’s, worked the boards for the Pharoahe’s latest.
Monch ironically flips the meaning of the Stand Your Ground legislation – which was used to protect George Zimmerman – as a mantra to mobilize the community to “get involved.”
Stand Your Ground allows a person to justifiably use force in self-defense where there is a perceived unlawful threat. Monch successfully repurposes his wordplay to encourage conscious citizens to catalyze change by uniting and standing up for what they believe in.
He released the song in support of the Martin family and asks listeners to donate to the ongoing efforts to repeal the legislation through the Trayvon Martin Foundation.
Take a listen after the jump and stay tuned for Monch’s ‘PTSD’ due to hit shelves this fall.

found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me.
In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers
made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful
than evera before.
