Forte's Forte

My story on rapper and singer-songwriter John Forte, the former Fugees associate whose prison sentence was commuted by President Bush in November, is here. His StyleFREE EP is available on his web site. Here's a link to his blog on Tina Brown's The Daily Beast.  And below are clips of Forte covering Kanye's West's "Homecoming" with Talib Kweli, of a remix of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" and of footage of the December day when he was released from prison. Forte plays The World Cafe on Monday and the Xponential Music Festival in Camden's Wiggins Park on Friday.
