rising minor
Fort Minor is a solo project set up by Linkin Park EmCee Mike Shinoda, with the new album; The Rising Tied - executive produced by Jay-Z, as well as a shitteload of serious collaborators. *dude ain't mucking about in the value department, innit?* :p
*read more HERE after the jump*
personally, it's my current *pseudo-linkin-park-fix* = no disrespect to Shinoda, whatsoever dood! (becoz he is too "recognizable-a-voice" of LP, innit? :p) ... and he rawks hard here on this debut album
and now dammit i've gotta go find the Limited Edition with DVD version of the album (as i've read about it before and had forgotten dammit) ... *sigh*
linkies galore:
> do check out the Fort Minor Unofficial Fansite for a truly detailed and labour of love filled with info-galore (even more-so than the "official site", IMHO)
> link to Coolhunting's report on Mike Shinoda's artwork on a Munny figure
> check out Shinoda's shoe-design for DC Shoes.
> view music videos for: Petrified, Remember The Name and Believe Me.
> or alternative music-video viewing (but not great resolution, just "bigger screen") at the youtube sites for: Petrified, Remember The Name and Believe Me.
the artwork:
have always been suitably impressed by Shinoda's art work and his current album cover's looking truly good too, with montaged chaos-deceiving imagery, peppered with warped-cuteness ... it actually reminded me somewhat of a lot of an old comic-book illustrator-hero, from days of yore: Bill Sienkiewic (yes, i know tis hardly graf nor street lah *bleh*), his earlier "experimental" days anyways (but of coz tis all in my fetid lil mindmuck-warped-reality lah :p) ... anyways, t'was pretty hard to find any of Shinoda's work online, much less trying to showcase his current album-design .... for which i scanned with the intent to post, but figured i should just let it be for now
*anybody has any images of Shinoda's work to share please?*
