Miguel - Hard Way (Remix)
Artist: Miguel
Featuring: Gilbere Forte'
Producer: Salaam Remi
Album: All I Want Is You
Label: RCA
If I can be excused a little name dropping, I ran into fast rising emcee Gilbere Forte’ during last weekend’s Grammy festivities and frankly it’s not hard to picture the man on the other side of the fence someday, acceptance speech in hand; especially if he continues to turn out material like Hard Way (Remix). Here Salaam Remi’s pounding yet haunting beat is the same, as are Miguel’s powerfully understated lyrics, are left essentially untouched, meaning the real addition here are Forte’s bars. In usual Gilbere fashion, the Philly representative drops off two smooth but deeper-than-they-may-initially-appear verses, proving he has the versatility to sound as at home on r&b/pop as on bangers (like Push the Bar). Nothing good comes easy, so if you like doing things the hard way be sure to cop both Miguel’s All I Want Is You album, out now, and Forte’s new mixtape Eyes of Veritas, which dropped last week. Something tells me there might be a gramophone or two in store for both artists, but in the meantime…

Still traveling, little time for insights, but...
The original version was delightful - yes, delightful - but Gilbere's two verses make the song even better. It really shows his versatility as an artist.

I am not a huge fan of any of these guys, but I have to say I like this remix. The old school production was nice, Miguel's crooning is captivating and Forte two verses are solid.

Forte definitely puts his stamp on this track. At times it almost starts to seem like it's his record and Miguel's the feature.

nice laid back beat, Forte's verses are super dope as usual, nice flow. Miguel did a nice job on this track as well, Forte beat him though.
