this is one of the oddest
Bush stories ever.

Forte is a rapper u guys never heard of, oddly he had Carly Simon and her family working hard for him to get his case looked at. He served 8 years of a 14 years sentence, I guess the argument on his side was it was a case of entrapment.


Movie of the week material.

he probably should have done 6 months just for how lackluster that album was.
Talented cat though, I hope he makes the most of his 2nd chance.
