PURPLE TAPE PEDIGREE

Billy Dee

Rome with some Fear & Loathing type visuals in the desert for his crowd slammer off of Beautiful Pimp.

See this fucking live as hell on Friday, May 17 at 285 Kent where he’ll be performing his first full live set in NYC.

Also, be sure to check the interview with Dazed & Confused (who premiered the video a few minutes ago) and head over to the Fresh Out The Box archives for last week’s phone call with Rome (in which he mentions turning down the beat that then became Rocko‘s “UOENO” and cowboy boots).

Rome Fortune and C4 drop this new one out the beautiful spring sky, just because.

Maybe he’ll perform this during his first full live performance in NYC this Friday. He’ll certainly have time to do things both new and old!

To Save Purity

DJ Holiday + Rome Fortune have a quick sit-down with Hip Hop At Lunch‘s Mike Boyd. Topics include breaking new records on Streetz 94.5, how Holiday got put on to Rome‘s Beautiful Pimp project, the meaning behind the album cover, and working with Scotty.

Kudos to Mike for the mention of Tuesday’s event at Santos Party House (the “Get The Guap” video release party).

Also, in preparation for Tuesday’s release, here is a little preview of what you will get in the “Get The Guap” video.

Rome Fortune will be back in NYC next week to dance among wolves, again. This time, it will be to celebrate the premiere of his new video, “Get The Guap” (off of the high-hailed Beautiful Pimp). The festivities take place on May 7th, with free booze to boot, courtesy of 1200Squad and Electric Circus.

There will be an after party at Santos Party House with DJ sets by Childish Major (Mr. U.O.E.N.O.), Skinny Friedman, and myself…(and more free booze). Perhaps a special guest or two as well?

If you have not yet listened to Beautiful Pimp on repeat, get it before it isn’t available for free anymore.

Also, do check sir Rome out on this recent Heroes X Villains + Stooki Sound collaborative track (for Adidas, no less). Different (for Rome), but quite strong stuff all around.

For The Right

By Geng-Grizzly, on April 3rd, 2013

Rome Fort and Childish Major ascend further into the minds of those fortunate enough to hear. Far removed from anything the duo cultivated on the ever-flourishing Beautiful Pimp project, this takes those who E N O (sorry, couldn’t help it) back to an earlier chapter, Voyeur. Uptempo, airy, Atlanta-bred soul with a bad bitch on the side.

This serves as the first piece to Childish Major‘s upcoming Rights For Wrongs project.

New HPG mixtape. That means brand new shit from a slew of top-tier Atlanta rap talent Future, Gucci Mane, Rome Fortune, Rocko, Ca$h Out, and more…over some of the best production out there.

Rome Fortune takes Lyn Collins to the shake junt and it all sounds like a turbulent affair caught on 8mm (probably with a felony in the trunk of the vehicle as well). Childish Major also really showed off with the boisterous and stutter-crazy soundtrack.

I’ll say it again, starting with his upcoming Beautiful Pimp project, dropping February 20th, 2013 is going to be powerful year for Rome.
