John Forte on Good Day New York

This morning, John Forte was the guest on FOX's Good Day New York. In the clip John shares the story of his early career, subsequent incarceration, and his new life on the outside. After the interview John performs "Play My Cards For Me" off of his StyleFREE EP.

Notice the shout out to PEA.

John Forte - StyleFREE EP

John Forte's new EP, StyleFree, just dropped today. You can take a listen to the project here. The project is "... a collection of seven songs chronicling my experience (for better and worse). Since I came home in December...." This is John's first commercial release in EIGHT YEARS, and his first official offering since coming out of prison, so head over to his website and make that purchase. Look for John's LP, Water, Light, Sound, to drop in 2010.

John Forte "Life Has Just Begun"

Was looking to see if I posted this John Forte song, which I evidently haven't. This was his first track he put out after getting out of prison (pardoned by Bush).

John Forte-Play My Cards For Me by treylord

John Forte, fellow alumni of Phillips Exeter, continues to be active and productive since his release from prison this past December. Taking full advantage of his freedom, Forte has been teaching at the City College of New York, recording with Talib Kweli, working on his memoirs, as well as working with Harlem-based initiative "In Arms Reach," which works with at-risk youth who have incarcerated parents. Next Tuesday, John will be releasing an EP entitled, StyleFREE. The seven songs on the EP were written during the seven and a half years he was incarcerated. Here is one song off of the project, "Play My Cards For Me." Of the song, John says: "['Play My Cards For Me'] is about the journey of a man (in this case me), and the willingness to relinquish control to his (my) loved one in the event of his (my) demise." Look for a full length album, Water, Light, Sound, to drop in 2010. StyleFREE will be available for purchase next Tuesday from John's site.

Here is his song "Style Free":
