F.I.L.M. = Forever I Love Madison

F.I.L.M.= FOREVER I LOVE MADISON

Madison,

This pass year has been incredible. The support we've received from this small town that sits on a isthmus has not only eclipse my initial expectations, but rejuvenated the city's hope and belief in a legitimate hip hop artist. We are yours to claim. F.Stokes to Madison is what Murs is to LA. What Brother Ali is to Minneapolis. What Common is to Chicago. Madison, I'm yours.

About once a month the good folks at the Doomtree compound in Minneapolis send me a nice check to account for cd's sold etc. A shit load of these albums are being sent to Wisconsin, so to thank you guys I've teamed with the Dirty Disco Kidz (Mr Physix, Dahnamics, Vinnie Toma and Special Ops) to produce F.I.L.M., a remix of my EP Death Of A Handsome Bride. This remix was made specifically to show my appreciation and gratitude for Madison and its free. Its a gift. Enjoy.

Vinnie Toma is the fucking truth. Number one DJ in Madison (soon to be the world...Denmark in a few months baby!) Vinnie is the motor that keeps the F.Stokes show going. Period.

Dirty Disco Kidz (Mr. Physix, Vinnie Toma, Dahnamics, Special Ops) Will Make your ears bleed (in a good way) and has been described as Electro/ Hip Hop and there children. These guys are guaranteed to throw down a progressive set with benefits.

Also performing at this show is Legendary Jackson, these cats are a phenomenal live act who combine superb production with sick flows. Serious.

And Rambunxious, my brethren from another. In just a matter of months Ram has turned Madison upside down with mic prowess and golden stage presence. So proud of you my dude.

F.I.L.M. will be available at the show ONLY so get there early as supplies will not last. Don't front, all you late comers will still be able to download this puppy for free the night of the show, and knowing my giving spirit, I will probably have a few more tucked away for even the late.

THE ANNEX! THURSDAY OCTOBER 1ST!

Peace sign high,
F.Stokes and Vinnie Toma

Biography

Born on the South Side of Chicago, Rodney “F. Stokes” Lucas was raised in the extreme conditions familiar to the millions of American’s who have experience with America’s urban ghettoes. F.Stokes, the eldest of six siblings, grew up in a single-mother household. In F.Stokes case, the term “household” is a misnomer, as his childhood was characterized by frequent address changes, and a stint at a homeless shelter.

F.Stokes music depicts the stark and brutal realities of the impoverished urban experience. However, F.Stokes chooses not to glamorize the circumstances of his upbringing. Rather than capitalizing on the misconceptions of the modern black experience that have begun to dominate the hip-hop landscape, F.Stokes provides thoughtful insight into the plight of black men in our nation’s largest cities.

Through vivid imagery and skillful wordplay F.Stokes reinterpret the thematic traditions of the soul and blues movements for a new generation of music fans. Beneath F.Stokes undeniable talent as a lyricist, he is driven by a deep sense of responsibility to promote progress and compassion with his music.

Performing throughout the States and globally, F.Stokes has shared the stage with the likes of Ghostface Killah, The Cool Kids, Fashawn, Camp Lo, P.O.S., Doomtree, Toki Wright, Nice and Smooth, Twista and a stable of other domestic and internationally known artist.

F.Stokes has also held marketing and promotional positions at G-Unit Records - where he worked closely with rap icon 50 Cent on branding and creative promotions for the highly acclaimed album Before I Self Destruct - as well as working with Def Jam Records where he contributed to the international marketing format of Jay- Z’s Black Album.
