LINKIN PARK's MIKE SHINODA To Release Solo Album Late Summer

April 15, 2005

LINKIN PARK rapper Mike Shinoda will release his debut solo album, "The Rising Tied", under the moniker FORT MINOR, according to BallerStatus.com. "Fort has a militant meaning and Minor in music is a smaller, darker, sadder note — so the name is a reflection of the music," Shinoda explained during a listening session at the Rockefeller building in New York City on Wednesday (April 13). Shinoda enlisted his "Collision Course" collaborator Jay-Z to executive produce the disc, which he expects to release late summer. "Jay is not performing on [the album]," Shinoda shared. "I did not want to put him in that position. I just wanted to have respect for his retirement to be honest, but he's executive producing the record and is with me every step of the way basically."
