Legendary Recording Artist

Rappin' 4-Tay (aka Anthony Forté) became a West Coast legend recording artist in the 90's, and made his name by turning his success into a platform to help other West Coast artists succeed. He was a staunch believer in hand-ups over hand-outs, and spent his life lifting others up around him. San Francisco-based Rappin' 4-Tay was fresh out of high school when he debuted on record on Too Short's "Don't Fight the Feelin'" (from Life Is...Too Short). A conviction for selling marijuana landed him in prison for ten months, but he returned in 1991, forming Rag Top Records with friends Franky J and Fly. In January 1992, they released his debut, Rappin' 4-Tay Is Back!!!. His second album, Don't Fight the Feelin', made him a local favorite, due to his hardcore style, which didn't romanticize the ghetto. After 1995's I'll Be Around, 4-Tay returned a year later with the celebratory Off Parole. 4 tha Hard Way followed in 1997, and he resurfaced two years later with Introduction to Mackin'. He was also featured on Tupac Shakur's (aka 2pac) certified platinum record Only God Can Judge Me.
