"The Torture Papers" is the debut album from Hip Hop collective Army of the Pharaohs, released March 21, 2006 on Babygrande Records. The crew was established in 1998 by Jedi Mind Tricks rapper Vinnie Paz, and originally featured Paz, Chief Kamachi, Esoteric, Virtuoso and Bahamadia. Virutoso and Bahamadia later split from the group, which now conists of Paz, Chief Kamachi, 7L & Esoteric, Apathy, Crypt the Warchild & Planetary of Outerspace, King Syze, Reef the Lost Cauze, Faez One, Des Devious and Celph Titled. An Army of the Pharaohs collaboration album was rumored to be in the works for years, but was often delayed due to separate projects and internal problems. The constant delays lead to "The Torture Papers" being one of the most anticipated underground Hip Hop albums of the new millennium.

The album debuted in the Top 50 on "Billboard's" Top Independent Albums and Top Heatseekers charts, going on to sell over 20,000 copies [http://www.undergroundhiphop.com/store/detail.asp?UPC=BBG0324CD] .
