[Hip-Hop] Rome Fortune – Pure (prod. Jacques Greene)

Rome Fortune
Pure (prod by Jacques Greene)

The fusion of hip-hop and electronic music has been an on-going experiment since the rise of EDM that has proven potent when executed correctly. Of the many forward-thinking emcees with electronic beat selection, Atlanta’s Rome Fortune stands out as an exceptionally original example. His debut mixtape, Small VVorld, saw him maneuvering effortlessly over uncharted experimental soundscapes from the likes of Four Tet and Bassnectar.

Fortune’s latest release is yet another display of his versatility as he delivers a particularly personal song over an ethereal, lush instrumental from Montreal-native Jacques Greene. “Pure” sees Rome Fortune venting about disingenuous relationships and ulterior motives but also finding the strength to shake it off with the chorus, “I ain’t mad at all, but why can’t I find something pure? For once in my life.” Enjoy this powerful track, and grab a free download, above.
