Gilbere Forte Grabs Asher Roth & Bun B to Throw on “Black Chukkas (Remix)” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 09/21/11 | Filed under Downloads, Bun B, Asher Roth, Gilbere Forte

I vaguely remember watching the video for Gilbere Forte's "Black Chukkas" well before I really knew who Gilbere Forte was, but in the meantime the Philly native's built quite the aspiring rap star credentials for himself. In fact, he's climbed the ladder enough to grab Asher Roth and Bun B for the remix and it hits harder than a Mayweather sucker punch. See more...

Posted by Nathan S. on 07/18/11 | Filed under Downloads, Freeway, Puma, Gilbere Forte

Let's just keep it simple, shall we? The good folks over at Puma got talking to the mothership and decided to put out a collaborative album. We hit up some of our favorite artists, compiled new exclusive material from them and boom, "Uncontested" was born. Is the project any good? Well, how do you feel about "Winner".

Gilbere Forte Proves Why He’s The “Philadelphia Freshman” (Mixtape Download)

Posted by Danielle Harling on 05/04/11 | Filed under Downloads, Gilbere Forte

I'm not quite sure what it means when an artists freestyles on a mixtape are better than the regular tracks, but that's how I feel about Gilbere Forte's latest project "Philadelphia Freshman." If anything it seems like a good thing. It's definitely better than having a mixtape or album full of dope skits and awful tracks. Listen and download...

Gilbere Forte & Ab-Liva “Push the Bar” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 11/12/10 | Filed under Downloads, Gilbere Forte, Ab Liva

You want an artist with some real versatility? You want Gilbere Forte. Just a few months removed from dropping a dope track with uber-hipster band Freelance Whales, the hypnotic "1st Floor", the young Philly emcee has linked up with unrepentant white pusher Ab-Liva (of the Re-Up Gang) for his new joint, the pounding "Push the Bar". On the real, the fact that the same dude did "1st Floor" and "Push the Bar", and they both sound dope, is ill. Listen and download...

Don’t Sleep on Gilbere Forte’s “87 Dreams” (Mixtape Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 07/20/10 | Filed under Downloads, Mixtapes, Gilbere Forte

>Even since Gilbere Forte blew me away with "1st Floor" - who knew it was possible to flip a indie band like Freelance Whales into a dope hip-hop cut - I've been down to hear anything the young Philly emcee has to offer, including his new free album "87 Dreams". If you like all your music to sound exactly the same, you should probably run away from "87 Dreams" as fast as possible. Listen and download...

Gilbere Forte Swears “I Know My Love” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 07/07/10 | Filed under Downloads, Gilbere Forte

I won't front. I'm really digging Gilbere Forte's music, but I didn't think neccesarily think the dude had the potential to truly blow up - until today when I heard his new cut "I Know My Love". Seriously, if the right folks at radio get a hold of this, it could really be something. Listen and download...

Gilbere Forte is Going Up From the “1st Floor” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 06/21/10 | Filed under Downloads, Gilbere Forte

There are hundreds of hip-hop artists breaking music boundaries in much braver ways then Weezy's obvious and merely surface level hard rock/rap hybrid. Case in point, newcomer Gilbere Forte and his new mixtape cut "1st Floor", a remix of sorts of indie rock band Freelance Whale's "Generator 1st Floor". Listen and download...
