Method vs. Madness

“Homecoming” John Forte + Talib Kweli from The ICU on Vimeo.

The good folks over at ICU Media Lab recently posted some nice footage of recently released MC John Forte who is back in the studio after serving a 7+ year bid at Fort Dix correctional facility.

The older, hopefully wiser Forte, heard here over Kanye’s Homecoming beat, does not seem to have lost much of that trademark flow which started his career with the Fugees over ten years ago. Talib Kweli opens things up with a nice, Brooklyn-centric verse of his own.

Seeing as the brother was just released thanks to a pardon from outgoing President Bush, it’s a good sign to see Mr. Forte hit the studio so quickly. I can’t even begin to imagine the kind of stories he’s got to tell. Hopefully we can expect some new material soon to make up for the lost time.

Good to have you home, brother John
