(We Are Renegades)\u003c\/em\u003e from 2011. The Queens emcee narrates, in both literal and metaphoric ways, about the trials and tribulations of an independent artist who is at war with the music industry and the struggle of the black male experience in America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2012, during an interview with Shawn Setaro, host of the podcast The Cipher, the rapper explained the connections between the two projects, beyond their titles. \"The \u003cem\u003eW.A.R.\u003c\/em\u003e album was like, I'm going to battle against the machine, I'm doing this independently. I'm putting some things out that I learned and I'm going to expose about the music industry. \u003cem\u003ePTSD\u003c\/em\u003e is the result of me doing that, where I am emotionally now. It's similar to how someone comes back from war and is stricken by re-adjusting to a regular situation.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonch told MTV Hive that\u003cem\u003e PTSD\u003c\/em\u003e is \"more mental, emotional and personal\" because it came out of the depths of a period of depression. He also gave the internal and external factors that helped him create the album. \"I was working on the title track, which took me to a point in between Internal Affairs and Desire, where I was heavily depressed. Through the waiting period, the industry period, and going through a lot emotionally. Then there was the physical [problem] with asthma. It was the worst. So I started off with that title track and my manager was like, 'Yo, let's really dive into that state and how you got to where you are now, and how this follows what people go through to get back to a so-called 'normal' situation'.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concept album follows a veteran through combat experience, his return home, relationship dissolution, drug addiction, painful depression, and, finally, a triumphant but realistically rendered decision to keep living and struggling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ui-tabs ui-corner-all ui-widget ui-widget-content\" id=\"aec-musictabs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-hidden=\"false\" class=\"ui-tabs-panel ui-corner-bottom ui-widget-content\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"MusicTracks\" id=\"mt-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tracksonly\" id=\"aec-jukebox\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"jp-playlist tracksonly\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e The Recollection Facility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e Time2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Losing My Mind (FT.
