In a bid to promote his US tour, Atlanta rapper Rome Fortune has released ‘Something New’ to his listeners via Soundcloud. A firm, featuring favourite with us at TMR, Rome Fortune follows up to his recently released record Jerome Raheem Fortune with this chill, heavily reverbed new track that’s got hints of Kanye West dropping by. It’s a slight change of direction to his latest material, as claustrophobic auto tune smothers the track, biting back with precisely cut beats – but that’s in no way a limitation. Rome Fortune is a real pioneer of progression within his craft, proving that literally and metaphorically with ‘Something New’. -JE
