Mike Shinoda’s Fort Minor
Linkin Parks Mike Shinoda was not playing when he said he would be putting down a solo effort. With Jay-Z tabbed as executive producer of Shinodas solo project Fort Minors Rising Tied, what else would you expect?
With a lineup that includes Common, Black Thought, John Legend and Styles of Beyond, Shinoda looks to blow people away with his debut project.
There's a lot of dynamics in the record, and that's why the name Fort Minor works so well, Shinoda told MTV about the name of his project. Fort [is] something that's heavy and militant. Minor [is] taken one of two ways: either meaning small or meaning ... between the two basic chords in music theory, you've got major or minor, and minor is described as the darker, sadder chord. The album is about the dynamic when you put all those things together. You've got that spectrum."
LA underground tandem Styles Of Beyond lend a hand on Remember the Name (which serves as the albums first single) while Black Thought joins Shinoda on Right Now.
Fort Minor's Rising Tied is slated for a late-summer release.
