Never missing a show and always willing to please the crowd with a line or two. He has also opened up for a numerous amount of major artist and has linked up with some of the best the D.M.V area has to offer; notably, producer June, Task Productions,and has done a numerous amount of collabs with other up and coming artist in the D.M.V

Mr. Forbes strives to bring feeling back to the hip hop game. He dares to inject creativity and color into his music, while still catering to the masses. Mr. Forbes embodies the definition of consistency. He is hungry, in fact he is starving to get his word out to the masses and possess so much creativity that will soon be visible for the rest of the world to share in. When you ask Mr. Forbes on his feelings about his own music, his statement is very straight to the point, but hits home and he simply states “Some people love Hip-Hop and most people pretend, but either way my music is undeniable!”
