One of the hardest working artist in the game, Forte Bowie, puts out more music than most can keep up with.; one of his 3 managers, Akeem Hall, says"we're going strong until he dies."
Hopefully FB will get a day off, but until then let me catch you up on his work. First, checkout the kid's latest single "Sephora's Song" [produced by Forte Bowie himself]. Download Here
Next, we have "Stranger" featuring Jhene Aiko. Download here.
He also dropped a visual for "Weak", the first single off UberEargasms:The Life & Times Of David Ruffin Jr.
He also filmed a video for his song "Peaceland", a Nujabes Tribute.

When we think about the future of Hip-Hop, we must realize something : The Past is no indication of the future. Well , let me take that back. The Recent Past is no indication of the future. Hip-Hop is rooting turn to its roots, with rappers/producers such as B [dot] Jay & Frankiee "Dee" Sinn sampling genres outside of hip-hop/rap in order to invade the mind, such as Run-DMC did with Aerosmith in the 80's.

"Weak" [the first single off of ] is a track that will make you do a double take. Nino starts out singing Rihanna, then goes straight into a Biggie-esque flow. Hey, even the beat is 90's-ish. But then just when you think it's safe to relax your brain, he springs back into singing

"Backseat Mentality" still has me spinning in circles [in confusion that is haha]. It starts out as you would assume, as with ND singing about a girl [with a mellow beat that fits perfectly], but heads towards Nino basically singing about his life & showing off his vocal talents.
