Podcast Episode Summary
Coming up on World Cafe Words and Music from WXPN, John Forte shares music from his new EP, "StyleFREE," with host David Dye. After a dream entr?e to the music industry, writing hit songs with The Fugees and launching a solo career, Forte was convicted of transporting liquid cocaine. He was pardoned by President Bush last year, after serving half of a fourteen- year sentence in federal prison, and now he's making a comeback with an album that blends his hip-hop background with neo-soul and echoing guitars. In this interview, Forte describes how certain outlets, especially radio, helped him to carry on while incarcerated, and he explains the process of writing music in his cell.
