Internal Affairs is the solo debut from former Organized Konfusion member Pharoahe Monch, released on October 19, 1999,[5] by Rawkus Records and Priority Records.

Monch creates a harder sound than heard on the previous Organized Konfusion records.

The album spawned the Hot 100 hit "Simon Says".

[6] Rawkus, as well as its then-parent label MCA Records, were later folded by the Universal Music Group into Geffen Records.

To commemorate the album's 20th anniversary, it was reissued on October 19, 2019, becoming available digitally and on streaming services for the first time.
