Fort Minor is a hip-hop side project created by Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park. The group's first album is entitled The Rising Tied.
Mike's goal for the project is to have fun with his friends, rather than to showcase the hottest names in underground and mainstream hip-hop.
"It's called Fort Minor, instead of my name because there are a bunch of other people involved in the project. But I only wanted to work with family and friends; people that I feel are really close to me and we see eye-to-eye." -- Mike Shinoda, BallerStatus.
The music also has almost no focus on materalism, which often saturates modern hip hop, and instead focuses on regular life and issues.
Fort Minor was started with Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park. He does the rapping part in most of Linkin park's songs. He started a project with mainly Styles of Beyond with Ryu, Tak, and many more. He also has many other people involved. Jay-Z gave him a chance with hip-hop/rap. Some of the Songs I Like is.
-Remember the Name
-Believe Me
-High Road
A new song came out with Holly Brooks called Where did you go. Mike Shinoda is known for creativity. In Remember the Name he put a violin as a instrument. In believe me, he used an african drum for the beats.
