Having emerged from Sydney’s underground hardcore hip/hop scene since 2004 as a battle MC Champion every week for as long as 3 months at The Greenwood, and with his underground acclaimed mixtape’s 2148 Mixtape Vol.1 [2006] and 2148 Mixtape Vol. 2 [2008]. There’s no doubt that up and comer Fortay has not only caught the eye of his peers and the local scene but even caught the eyes and ears of some of hip/hop’s most respected producers and artists of our era.
Having supported an impressive list of internationals in his home city of Sydney includingB.o.B[USA], Necro [USA], M.O.P [USA],Bone thugs and harmony[USA], DJ Scratch & DJ Cash Money [USA] and Method and Redman [USA], plus collaborating performances and recordings with local hip/hop artists Tofurious, HED UBD, Torcha and MC Losty / The Havknotz, there’s no shortage of credibility locally and especially internationally on his last trip to L.A, rollin’ blunts with names such as Snoop Dogg, DJ Premier, Daz Dillinger/Kurupt of Doggpound, Devin The Dude and many more of West Coast hip/hop fame.
To be released in late 2010 titled “Fortified”, the debut LP by this young Sydney sider definitely has an eye catching list of production and feature credits including DJ L.T (USA) - [Snoop Dogg], DJ Experts (USA) - [Bun B], Tyree (NZ) – [Smashproof], Anecdote [Channel V Battle MC Champ] and most notably, worldwide platinum selling artist Daz Dillinger of Doggpound (USA) – [Feature artist/producer on Dr. Dre’s “The Chronic”, Snoop Dogg’s “Doggystyle” and Tupac’s “All Eyez On Me”]. Featuring and producing the track “Watchya Wanna Do”, Daz’s collaboration will make Fortay the first ever Australian hip/hop artist to collaborate with a West Coast U.S MC/Producer of the G-Funk Era.
