Uh oh...the lurker comes out of the cracks to promote...tsk tsk, but look at me doing it anyway. [Blushing]

I'm only going there because there might be some folks around here that are interested.
It's a new music project.
The album is The Rising Tied. The artist is Fort Minor.

Mike Shinoda is releasing his debut solo project on November 22 this year under the name "Fort Minor". It is a hip-hop album with a fairly lengthy list of collaborators, some of which you may recognize. To name a few:
Common
Black Thought of The Roots
John Legend
Kenna
Holly Brook
Styles of Beyond
Lupe Fiasco
and Jay-Z as executive producer

If you are interested you can check out the official site at:
www.fortminor.com
or there are previews to two tracks, "Remember the Name" and "Petrified" here:

There is a link to a recent interview with Mike about the album in Rolling Stone that has quite a bit of information.

Hopefully I haven't stepped on too many toes, but this is a project I'm really excited about. Thank you for your time Hatrack. [Smile]

Mike Shinoda needs to call Chester and get back in the studio. I want a new LP album dammit!!

Posted by Liaison (Member # 6873) on :

Haha! I didn't know there were any LP fans in here. Howdy. Chester has a solo in the works as well. The rumor is that they'll get a new LP album out next summer.

A solo Chester album AND an LP album for next summer?

It's an embarrassment of riches!!

Ain't that the truth! I believe that Chester's release date will be more like early spring though. Not that that changes much. [Big Grin]
