Army of the Pharaohs is a underground hip-hop supergroup originating from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, formed by Jedi Mind Tricks emcee Vinnie Paz in 1998. From the beginning, Vinnie Paz had 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, 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” being 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.
The group wouldn’t return until 2005, resurrected with its second incarnation, excluding Virtuoso and Bahamadia, and now featuring 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, finally released in March 2006 on Babygrande Records. The album was produced by Army Of The Pharaohs affiliates such as 7L, DC the MIDI Alien, Undefined, Beyonder, Loptimist, Apathy and German producer Shuko.

Logically there must be some reason they're keeping him there, I hypothesise that he's either a pimp or their dealer.
