Here's a 'strong' effort from Gilbere Forte (get it?). This dude has been around the rap game for several years now. I first heard his music when he appeared with Kanye on the Alors On Danse Remix. You'll hear all the Ye influences in his music. Incidentally, that version is on a Fall Mix I made in 2010 that'll probably never see the light of day...it's just too late.
For his new single, 'Pray', Forte hops on a Fiona Apple-sampling production by Raak. This is a good introductory track to Forte because he begins with a verse that gives some background about himself. He touches on where he's from (Michigan/Philly/burbs) and his career thus far. Then he dives right on into his passion for luxury items and excess, but does so with plenty of creative puns and one-liners. He drops a few more hints about himself and where he's headed, but even if you're not too invested in what he's talking about, it's a head-nodder nonetheless. I've given it the repeat treatment quite a lot over the past couple weeks. Check it out.
