#Stream Rich Forbez "Who Is Rich Forbez" #Album on #Itunes @RichForbez

Lima, Ohio producer/artist Rich Forbez formally known as Yung City has released his debut album "Who Is Rich Forbez."

The eleven track EP comes crammed packed with hit songs for both the streets and the ladies. Presented by Strarlife Music Group, this is one album you don't want to miss out on.

In Rich Forbez own words: "The motivation behind this album was life it’s itself. This album was a form of therapy that help me get to a brighter place after coming out of a heavy dark muddy funk and a heart break."

Community members of Lima always asked Fobez why was he still living in the city? Why he never left to go to the big city? And his response was: "Based off my confidence people wouldn’t know that I was actually nervous as shit to put my music out there to be judged. Also I felt over the years I’ve put myself on the back burner artist wise to service other artist in the area like shooting/editing music  videos and running a recording studio while quietly working and perfecting my craft. I eventually got fed up  if being asked the question and took action and stop over thinking my process and just went with my first ideas the beats told me to do. In that time I realized that only I was holding myself back from the world."

What Happened To Lil Flip?

Texas had a big impact on the music scene in the mid 2000's and Lil Flip was a big part of the movement. Lil’ Flip these days is perhaps most well known for his feud with fellow rapper T.I.

Flip started rapping for Suckafree Records out of Houston, Texas, when he was 18, in 1999. He released his first album, The Leprechaun, the next year. Eventually selling more than 200,000 copies, it featured the hit single “I Can Do Dat.”

The single, “The Way We Ball,” helped propel Lil’ Flip into the national spotlight. The rapper was also able to work with Yung Wun, Ludacris, and Three 6 Mafia that year. This gave him the clout necessary to create U Gotta Feel Me, a double-disc album released in 2004, distributed by Sony Urban Music.

Lil Flip went on to start his own record label, which he named Clover G Records, after Cloverland, Lil’ Flip’s home neighborhood in Houston.

While T.I. was incarcerated for parole violations, Lil’ Flip used the opportunity to object to T.I. calling himself “King of the South.” The heavily publicized feud led to T.I. going to Cloverland, to expose Lil’ Flip as a fraud. When T.I. arrived in the neighborhood with his crew, Lil’ Flip approached him with his respective crew.

Shawty Lo Killed

Atlanta rapper Carlos Walker aka Shawty Lo was killed in a car accident early this morning.  Shawty's car was hit by another vehicle on I-285 at Cascade Rd, hit two trees and then caught on fire.  During the accident, Lo was ejected from the car.  Two other people in the car were injured and sent to the hospital.

Shawty Lo was the founder of D4L along with Fabo, Stoney and Mook-B.  The group released the #1 hit single "Laffy Taffy" and "Betcha Can't Do It Like Me" which eventually earned them a gold album.  "Laffy Taffy" became the poster child for Atlanta's "Snap Music" scene which helped launch the careers of Soulja Boy, Yung Joc and Dem Franchize Boys.

Lo went on to launch the independent record label D4L ("Down for Life") and released the solo hit song "Dey Know" which earned him "Track of the Year" and "Rookie of the Year" trophies at the 2008 BET Hip-Hop Awards.  His singles "Dunn Dunn", "Foolish" and "Supplier" also cracked the charts.  His debut album "Units In The City" debuted at #2 on the Rap Album Chart.
