Artist: Gilbere Forte
Mixtape: Eyes of Veritas
Hosted By: Don Cannon

Every once in while there’s always an artist that comes around and makes everyone take notice and I’m going to go out on a limb and say Gilbere Forte will be that artist for 2011 and beyond. Hailing out of Philadelphia, Gilbere sounds nothing like the average artist most music lovers including myself would expect from the Philly. With a mixture of “Good  Lyrics”, “Strong Hooks” and “Great Production” it seems as though Mr.Forte is definitely onto something special and his latest mixtape “Eyes of Veritas” displays just that. Records like “Train Lights” produced by one of my personal favorite producers Bink as well as “Born In ’87” which was produced by Don Cannon  can and should only be describe as a “Breath Of Fresh Air”!  Able to show different sides “Die For You” produced by Lex Luger sounds nothing like anything you have heard from Lux Luger so far and highlights a different side for both artist and producer that blends perfectly. Personal favorite songs such as “Unbreakable” ft Selina Carrera(Co-Prod By Ben Pramuk w/ Raak & Forte and “Three Words”(Prod By Joshua Long With Raak & Forte)places Gilbere as a candidate for XXL Magazine 2011 Freshmen selection in my book! Some other key highlights are “Tonight” Ft. Sean Rose & Selina Carrera, We Do This Ft  Don Trip(Prod By Benge)and “Ballot Or The Bullet” Ft. G*Lee.
