I wasn't really up on Fort Minor, the hip hop side project of Linkin Park frontman Mike Shinoda, but after hearing a dope interview with Davey D, I was intrigued. In the interview, Shinoda goes thru the reasons behind going solo and breaks down some of the song topics. Apparently Jigga was involved in overseeing part of the project and even bumps the track 'Cigarettes' on the regular! 'Kenji' riffs off the topic of the Japanese-American concentration camps, reminds me of a modern version Key-Kool's 'Reconcentrated'. Dope and educational without being hokey. Its good to see cats come out with interesting projects even after major success. From what I hear he's a humble dude too, he's given donations to non-profits in LA's J-Town, so props to him for that!
