Gilbere Forte' - Winner
Artist: Gilbere Forte'
Featuring: Freeway
Producer: Reef
Album: PUMA x DJBooth.net EP
Label: EPIC
When it comes to being a Winner, believing in oneself may not be the whole battle (case in point, Charlie Sheen), but it’s a damn good start. Making its world premiere on our front page, the inaugural leak off DJBooth.net and PUMA‘s forthcoming compilation EP is a testament to the power of perception to shape reality; over Reef‘s gritty, guitar-laced sample work, bumping in the background, Philadelphia fast-riser (and freestyle series alum) Gilbere Forte’ addresses those who may not have heard his name before, forecasting his future greatness in verses that prove his sky-high self-confidence justified: “I’m looking up in the sky to see if God knows the destiny that I chose: to be the leader of the life of those who lack souls.” Fellow Philly repper (and freestyle contributor) Freeway sums it all up on the back: “I’m a winner not because y’all n*ggas losers, but I’m a winner simply ‘cause that’s what I choose to be.” If this determination-drenched banger whets your appetite for further freshness, keep it locked; due out July 25, the Uncontested EP will feature original material from Emilio Rojas, Laws, Spree Wilson, Sir Michael Rocks and more!

We have been holding onto the all the records for this PUMA project for months, so it is with great pleasure we bring you "Winner." Part of having that "Undefeated" mentality is knowing you are a winner and striving to perform at the highest quality possible. Does that not describe the musical efforts of both newcomer Forte' and grizzly veteran Freeway? I think so.

Solid track. The chorus could be better, but both emcees add quality verses. Freeway is definitely the highlight of this track his energy and flow are awesome.

I remember I pit him against Big Sean way back when I first heard of Forte but after the Philly Freshman Mixtape I was convinced this dude's the man!!! Watch out for Skewby and of course Laws!!! South Africa loves DJ Booth...

The snare is too loud and mixed wrong but Forte's voice is profound. I never slept on him and I never will, he has what it takes.
