NEW MUSIC: South Korean rapper Simon Dominic collaborates with American rapper Pharoahe Monch in a new "Simon Says"

By Nefertiti Jenkins
American lyricist Pharoahe Monch has had a huge impact on South Korean rapper Simon Dominic. In a translated interview with HIPHOPLE , the AOMG artist said he discovered Pharoahe Monch's music in 2002, after listening to Monch's feature on Mos Def's track "Oh No" with Nate Dogg. From his complex rhymes and flows, the Queens (New York) MC played a "trigger" for Dominic while he was promoting underground and inspired him to be better.  But it was the track "Simon Says" from Monch's Internal Affairs solo debut album, that changed everything for Simon Dominic, who at the time was going by the stage name K-OUTA.  Even his crew at the time - Illest Konfusion, was named after Pharoahe Monch's - Organized Konfusion with Prince Po.
