Filthy Rich Barbershop's tent was set up far back behind the courts, adding a full-on urban touch to Nike's takeover of Rucker Park for last week's WBF . Weird as well but I guess to me only because their barbers stayed busy with clippers abuzz for the duration of the Festival. One of those getting a 'cut was my PNC for last week, Nick Schonberger, columnist for Selectism & High Snobiety . On the morning of day three, I hit Nick to see what he had planned, to which he [...]

Philly MC Gilbere Forte dropped his debut project yesterday and from the singles I have heard so far it is dope. Gilbere is all over the hip-hop map with his songs, some softer ones, some harder, some catchier and others mixing in indie artists like Freelance Whales. I am a little upset we didn't get [...]

Gilbere Forte' doesn't have to proclaim himself the future. His music sounds like it. From the futuristic vibes from "Hot" to the ode-to-aerospace "30,000," even his name sounds like an exquisite cuisine that you can't afford yet. “Black Chukkas” may be then but 87 Dreams is the now.  Guests include Raak, Diz Gibran and STS but the most important factor is a precise and cohesive product is now among us. Available now to get lost into your imagination. Or vice versa. [...]

Damn, it seems like this dude just came out of nowhere and just started climbing the popularity ranks. I like Gilbere's work ethic. I swear I have a new track in my inbox at least once a week. This is the latest leak off his upcoming '87 Dreams project. "I Know My Love" delivers a little something upbeat to get your weekend off to a good start. Download: Gilbere Forte - "I Know My Love" / Limelinx

The last time we heard from Gilbere he was remixing Freelance Whales and showing his love for some indie rock but "I Know My Love" leaves that style far behind. It has more of a pop/R&B tilt with the sung chorus and synthesizers and a guitar loop on the verses which has a club feel [...]

New track from up-and-coming artist Gilbre Forte from his soon to be released mixtape, 87 Dreams . This guys has a vibe similar to B.O.B enjoY! Gilbre Forte - I Know My Love

• Gilbere Forte - I Know My Love (Radio)

So I'm finally starting to sift through the overcrowded dropbox (where readers submit tracks they want posted) which is the best way for me to hear your track, it just got so overcrammed with tracks it was hard to tackle it. Well this track submitted by jake m is really sick, and I'm glad that I listened to it. The rapper's name is Gilbere Forte' and the track is '1st Floor'. It's off of Gilbere's latest EP 87 Dreams. This track really is too sick, the rapping and the sampling of indie band Freelance Whales works together to well.  This [...]

• Gilbere Forte' Feat. Freelance Whales - 1st Floor

Gilbere Forte – 1st Floor ft. Freelance Whales Gilbere Forte – I Know My Love Gilbere Forte - “Black Chukkas” A handful of joints and a video from Gilbere Forte. “1st Floor” is easily the most impressive of the three with production from Aislyn of power pop group Passion Pit. This will be the intro track to Gilbere’s upcoming mixtape 87 Dreams . Down below we got the visuals for Forte’s ode to Black [...]

Gilbere did something I never thought I would see a rapper do and that is remix The Freelance Whales. For those not into indie rock, The Freelance Whales are a group from NYC that use an array of odd instruments to produce their fragile sound. I have their album Weathervanes which was released earlier this [...]

A relatively new and positively refreshing relationship has been forged between hip hop and blog-buzz bands. The ever-growing list includes Kid CuDi (who has sampled everything from Vampire Weekend to Band of Horses), Chiddy Bang (MGMT, Sufjan Stevens, Hot Chip, etc.) and Theophilus London (Discovery, Ellie Goulding). Now it's time to add a new name to that list; Gilbere Forte ' (pronounced Jil-bear For-tay). The Flint, Michigan native has just released a new single, "1st Floor," and is blowing up the blogosphere with his clever integration of Freelance Whales "Generator ^ 1st Floor." The track was produced by Passion [...]

Nobody likes to be the last one to catch on to what's next. Therefore it seems important to make a mention of Gilbere Forte' before he potentially skyrockets to prominence. Still, I haven't rightly figured out where to place his sound. While " Black Chukkas " is making the rounds, the track doesn't necessarily move me, sounding too much like standard Hip-Hop fare. I always find there's something more to be said for songs that evoke the feeling of a quiet riot and found that in "1st Floor." Produced by Passion Pit's Aislyn, the beat [...]
