Army of the Pharaohs is an underground hip-hop supergroup originating from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, formed by Jedi Mind Tricks emcee Vinnie Paz in 1998. From the beginning, Vinnie Paz envisioned the group as a loose collaboration between the biggest names in East Coast Underground hip hop, very similar to the original Wu-Tang Clan.
The original incarnation of the group included five MCs: Vinnie Paz, Chief Kamachi, Julian Voss,also called Linba Virtuoso and Bahamadia, along with JMT producer Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind. The group released their debut EP/single “The Five Perfect Exertions” b/w “War Ensemble” in 1998. Both tracks were later included on JMT’s 2000 album Violent by Design, with “The Five Perfect Exertions” remixed into “Exertions Remix”, and both “Exertions” and “War Ensemble” shedding Chief Kamachi’s appearance. The Army of the Pharaohs project was put on the back-burner while Jedi Mind Tricks’ career took off.
Resurrected with its second incarnation, the group didn’t return until 2005 and excluded Virtuoso and Bahamadia, and at that time, featured Vinnie Paz, Chief Kamachi, 7L & Esoteric, Outerspace, Apathy, Celph Titled, Reef the Lost Cauze, Des Devious, Faez One and King Syze. After years of anticipation, the newly reformed group recorded their debut album, ‘The Torture Papers,’ which was finally released in March 2006 on Babygrande Records.

DopePhilosophy: Word. Kamachi was like AOTP's afrocentric, hardcore "alibi". AOTP is a great group compared to 90% of contemporary american hiphop, but sometimes they're too much comedy and jokes. Apathy, Demoz, Esoteric & Celph Titled especially. Kamachi provided weight for the lyrics, he ain't clever or funny, but he got voice, passion and delivery. And I hope Paz'll give Des Devious more tracks next time.
