Super Sprowtz !

"Who would of ever thought F Stokes would be doing a promo video for Disney? This is a very great look for the Chicago Native. Super Sprowtz is a new educational childrens show that teaches kids about the importance of eating healthy. The Super Sprowtz website is supposed to launch tomorrow according to their twitter and the show should be airing sometime next week. So far everything looks great especially this video below, press play." - junglegymmagazine.com

On the Road + Super Sprowtz !!

" The real treat of the evening came when F. Stokes picked up the microphone and poured out his thoughts. With no DJ and no one manning his computer/tables/audio, Stokes included some humorous stories about his run-in with hip-hop diva Rihanna, some anecdotes on there being only three other black men in the whole venue, and even a comment that the only person to challenge him to a dance off was one of them.

Joking aside, the guy ripped the microphone to pieces without any backup. On more than two songs, it was his voice that resonated and held the half packed house at attention, not any beats. And when an artist can a cappella his way through songs and garner cheers midway for his powerful lyrics, it's a sign that someone is heading in the right direction.

F. Stokes is heading in the right direction and as odd as it may be that he is on the "Keep It Irish Tour," he is keeping true to his roots and staying true to himself. Stokes hails from Chicago, but calls New York home for now, and in his own words, "it's all a part of the journey." -Denver Westword

F. Stokes was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Humble, intellectual, polite, and very approachable. He is an amazing artist who puts on an amazing show." - comment by Utah fan

Majestic show review + photos

"You see. A F.Stokes set is more than hip-hop, but a blend of showmanship and realism interwoven with a passion and comfort few attain on stage. Showmanship in the sense he works the crowd with his innate sense of how we’re feeling, where we want to go, and exactly how he’ll take us there." - Mezzic

"Captivate the crowd. Capture their hearts but free their bodies. Challenge their ears, their minds; make their souls clap."

"Stokes’ recordings hint at his dynamism in concert, but they couldn’t ever prepare you fully for the amount of charisma he exudes."

"He’s on the rise, about to embark on a tour with Mac Lethal. Keep an eye out for Stokes in a city near you. You’ll be glad you did."

"From the first moment F.Stokes opened his mouth I was captivated, and as I stood in front of him as he dripped sweat and spat lyrics, I couldn't help but draw the comparison with a baptism by this prophet of positivity." - Natalie S Dane 101
