THE HUNDREDS presents SOME DREAMS NEVER SLEEP [EP]

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011

If yall only knew what it took to get to this point. Alot of sleepless nights, missed flights, and food fights. LOL This is all a dream come true man. What started as my idea has become our reality. And I’m only getting warmed up. There we’re times where I questioned if this music shit is really gonna work out, but I look at the people that depend on me and want to see me “do it”….and remind myself, that there’s no turning back.

Next thing you know one of my favorite brands reaches out to work with me, then I’m sitting in a studio with Sha Money and NO I.D., BET invites me to the awards, I’m in Atlanta rhyming for Swizz Beatz, then DMX pulls me aside to give me some of the realest advice. How do I not keep pushing?

Being an independent artist has its ups and downs, but the beauty of it is your connection the people. This is who I make this music for. I met a kid named Nick last night at my show, that said he recently moved to NYC from Kentucky because my music inspired him to pursue his dreams. I met a girl in the airport last week who said my songs got her thru a rough break up. And I get people all the time telling me how hard “Reflections” hits home. The list goes on, but at the end of the day its just reminder of the impact words can have on a person’s life. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be heard.

I throw the word “dreams” around alot because its whats drive us in our day-to-day. They motivate us and enlighten us to the possibilities and realities of life. Don’t ever let anyone tell you you can’t do something. If you can think it, you can do it.

ASPIRE TO INSPIRE

Gilbere Forte’ presents EYES of VERITAS

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011



I wake up every morning planning out my next life. “87 Dreams” was the beginning and my introduction to the world. The past couple months since its release have been more than a blessing. I’ve had the opportunity to rock stages with some of my favorite artists and meet some of the realest supporters ever.
Now the time has come and I’ve taken another step further in my journey to prove to the world that impossible is a lie, “Eyes Of Veritas“. I wanted to use this opportunity to clear the air with this release following the first leak “Born In ’87“.
For awhile I was ignoring some of the naysayers but EOV was my moment to get a few things off my chest. What started out as an 7-8 song EP, turned into a full 16-track mixtape with the big homey Don Cannon. I was blessed with the graces of The Smoking Section and Hall Of Fame to rock with me on this project. This go round I reached out to a few folks I really wanted to work with. My partner Raak and I handled most of the production, but I got a couple heatrocks from the homies Bink, Lex Luger, Boi-1da, Bengie, Ben Pramuk, Joshua Long, and “The Cannon” himself. BIG SHOUT to everybody who came thru with guest verses, WE GOT ONE! Let’s win.

EYES of VERITAS is the next chapter of my story.
Journey with me.

VOTE “I’m So Appalled” on BET!

Tuesday, December 28th, 2010

Post-holiday gifts are always the best ones, because they’re the least expected.
Yesterday, I got word early afternoon that BET’s 106 & Park would be airing “I’m So Appalled” as the NEW Joint of the Day. (Shout to Terrence J for saying my name right.)
Even crazier, this is the record that pretty much set it all for me. A year and 4 days ago I released this freestyle to much critical acclaim, 2DopeBoyz, AllHipHop “Heater of the Day”, and a gang of other sites. I appreciated the love then, and appreciate it that much more now. THANK YOU.
The difference a year can make.




Also, PLEASE VOTE this video on to the countdown.
It’s real simple, just text “GIL” to 79922 over and over again. lol
Thanks to everybody showing me love on Facebook and Twitter. Here are Vimeo and YouTube links to the [uncut] video to post on your pages, blogs, tumblrs or share with your friends.
Be blessed and be safe.
Check yall next year.
