Internal Affairs is the solo debut from former Organized Konfusion member Pharoahe Monch, released on Rawkus Records. Monch creates a harder sound then heard on the previous Organized Konfusion records. The album spawned the unexpected Hot 100 hit "Simon Says". Monch made his highest debut on the charts, just missing the Top 40 on the Billboard 200 album chart, going on to sell over 200,000 copies. However, because of the illegal use of the "Godzilla Theme Song" as a sample in "Simon Says", the album has ceased to be produced.
