The Independent Droog #001

In my travels, I have grown to learn that indie music is the heart of american music...they are still hungry and willing to put art and skill over profit. Indie artists have not been jaded by the ills of the music business and are physically more capable of making quality music than their high profile counterparts. So Having said that, I have created The Independent Droog to showcase some of the good indie music that I come across.

So the first installment in The Independent Droog is from a Hip Hop Artist named Gilbere Forte. I got this via email and was immediately impressed. In a world of mediocre rhymes and fraudulent talent, it is refreshing to hear a legit MC spit over a classic beat. Although this is a "freestyle" Gilbere speaks on some relevant social issues like Fake Thug Rappers trying to live their rhymes and dabbles with some battle rap sh!t with clever wordplay and punchlines. and it helps that his beat selection is one of my favorite De La Soul tracks.

All in all, this is a solid track from a promising MC. Looking forward to hearing more from dude.
