Organized Konfusion (OK) is an alternative hip hop duo from Queens, New York, composed of Prince Po and Pharoahe Monch.

Group members Prince Po and Pharoahe Monch[1] began their career under the name Simply II Positive MCs.

In an interview with Halftimeonline.net, Monch stated: We had shopped the demo to Russell Simmons at Def Jam through Bobbito García and we were hype on the name.

We call him one time and he was like I’m considering signing the group but first and foremost y’all gotta change that wack ass fucking name!

[1] The album was produced entirely by the duo, and featured only one guest appearance, provided by the group's childhood friend, future D.I.T.C.

[1] The album's lead single "Stress" charted on the Hot Rap Singles chart, but the most famous song from the album is arguably "Stray Bullet", a concept track which sees the MCs describing the travels of a stray bullet in first-person narrative.

In 1996, they appeared on the Red Hot Organization's compilation CD, America is Dying Slowly, alongside Biz Markie, Wu-Tang Clan, and Fat Joe, among many other hip hop artists.

After this release, Prince Po and Pharoahe Monch split to pursue solo careers.

In a 2005 interview with MVRemix.com, Prince Po discussed the break-up: Well we broke up because we didn’t want to hear the fans say the same thing like, ‘You’re dope but you are not getting the right promotion’.

Monch is my brother, but I wanted to get to a point where I could be creative, make songs, and worry about being an emcee or producer.

His anger came out in a way that he had to show the world that he was not done yet.Pharoahe Monch signed a deal with Rawkus Records after the duo's break up, and released a highly acclaimed solo album, Internal Affairs, in 1999.

The album just missed a debut in the Top 40 on the Billboard 200 chart, and spawned the Hot 100 hit single "Simon Says".
