Hi Steemit Community: I'm Forte, Hip Hop Pioneer, Conscious Lyricist/Emcee, Freestyle King Of Compton, Living Testimony, Born Leader, & Teacher/Role Model

HELLO STEEMIT COMMUNITY, MY NAME IS ƒORTÉ. BORN & RAISED IN COMPTON, CA. I'M EXCITED TO JOIN THE STEEMIT COMMUNITY, MY BEST FRIEND @VERBAL-D INTRODUCED ME TO THE ENTIRE CONCEPT OF ONLINE MONEY AKA CRYPTOCURRENCY AND THE REVOLUTIONARY ASPECTS OF A DECENTRALIZED BLOCKCHAINED SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM THAT REWARDS ITS USERS IN MANY WAYS AND CHANGES LIVES. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING BUT AMAZING THINGS ABOUT STEEMIT.COM AND THE CREATIVE AND INTELLIGENT COMMUNITY HERE. I AM STILL BRAND NEW TO EVERYTHING STEEMIT AND CRYPTOCURRENCY RELATED, SO FEEL FREE TO CONNECT WITH ME AND SHARE WISDOM.

A QUICK VIDEO DOING WHAT I DO BEST, PLEASE ENJOY THE MUSIC

TO TELL YOU A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF, I AM A HONOR GRADUATE ALUMNUS OF SAN FRANCISCO STATE UNIVERSITY (SFSU). I MAJORED IN BROADCASTING ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION ARTS (BECA) WITH A FOCUSED MINOR IN BUSINESS MARKETING. MY MUSIC REPRESENTS REAL HIP HOP TO THE FULLEST. I PLAN TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE BY NOT HAVING TO DEGRADE WOMEN, FALL INTO HURTFUL STEREOTYPES OR RAP ABOUT MURDERING PEOPLE. IT WILL BE A PLEASURE TO DISPLAY MY TALENTS AND THOUGHTS TO THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE AS I CAN PROMISE YOU!

I’VE BEEN RAPPING AND WRITING SINCE I WAS ELEVEN YEARS OLD, WHICH IS SINCE THE SIXTH GRADE. I AM CONSISTENTLY PASSIONATE ABOUT MUSIC AND POSITIVE CHANGE. INFLUENCED BY HIP HOP VETERANS, I WANTED TO GAIN RESPECT FROM MUSIC. TO BE LOOKED AT AS A YOUNG BLACK MUSICIAN KNOWN FOR MY ORIGINALITY, HOW I KEEP MY AUDIENCE ENTHUSIASTIC WITH MY SONGS AND ILLUMINATE MY LOVE FOR HIP HOP THROUGH MY SOUL. I PERSONALLY KNOW THE LEGENDARY RAPPERS NAS, SNOOP DOGG, THE GAME, & KENDRICK LAMAR & HAVE LEARNED A LOT FROM THEIR SKILLSETS, THE WAY THEY CREATE THEIR MUSIC AND HOW THEY HAVE INSPIRED ME GROWING UP

​WITH MY SKILLS IN RHYTHMIC COMMUNICATION, I SEE MYSELF AS THE NEXT LEADER FOR MY GENERATION! THE WAY MUSIC MAKES ME FEEL; I CAN’T EVEN AMOUNT TO IT IN WORDS. I NEVER REALIZED WHAT MY NAME ACTUALLY MEANT OR REPRESENTED OF ME UNTIL 2009, WHEN I CAME TO THE BAY AREA FOR MY EDUCATION.

ƒORTÉ, WHICH IS MY REAL NAME, NOT ONLY REPRESENTS MUSIC AND THE TEMPOS WITHIN IT, BUT MY VOICE IS ALSO A LOUD FORCE THAT CAN DOMINATE AND CONTROL IN SO MANY WAYS. I WIELD THIS POWER CAREFULLY AND WITH GOOD INTENTIONS

"RAPPING IS MY ƒORTÉ. SO WHAT IS YOURS?!"
​
HOPEFULLY MY APPROACH IS TAKEN WITH RESPECT & LOOKED UPON. I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW YOU ALL MY MUSIC, COLLABORATIONS PROJECTS I'VE BEEN WORKING ON, VISUALS LIKE MUSIC VIDEOS, LIVE PERFORMANCES, FREESTYLE VIDEOS TO SHOW YOU HOW I EARNED THE TITLE OF FREESTYLE KING OF COMPTON, SONGS WITH ME @VERBAL-D & @EDGARSTUDIO, AS WELL AS OTHER THING I WOULD LIKE TO WRITE ABOUT, EXPLORE, AND BRING TO LIGHT. ONCE AGAIN THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN THIS WONDERFUL STEEMIT COMMUNITY, FOLLOW ME FOR MUSIC AND MUCH MUCH MORE. WE'RE ABOUT TO HAVE A LOT OF FUN WITH THIS ONE!

​RESPECTFULLY,

Voris ƒORTÉ
