Supercharged with murmuring melodies, sly menace, and dystopian soundscapes, Black Fortune turns street raps into futuristic adventures. Since breaking out with “OsshWop” in 2018, the Landover, Maryland artist has cultivated an expansive fan base with brazen confidence and sticky anthems that are as stylish as they are indelible. Shifting between staccato blockboy couplets and slippery sing-song stanzas, he’s become one of the most inventive creators the DMV has to offer. He only reinforces that reputation with “Forrest Gump,” an ominous theme song fit for a Trap Terminator. “It’s just a more mature version of the songs I was making before,” shares Black, proudly. “It’s the fully unwrapped package of Black Fortune.” That stylistic evolution began with his 2018 project, OsshRock, a melodic effort that announced his presence as an emerging force in the DMV. It also introduced the concept of “Ossh” to the rest of the world. He’d continue spreading that gospel through projects like OsshGod (2020), OsshMob (2021), Sorry for the Ossh (2022) and 444 (2022). There’s a literal and functional purpose for the term, but Black Fortune presents it as a spiritual and metaphorical idea better felt than explained. “It's a lifestyle — It's a way of living,” he says. “It's everything that you want it to be.” Looking ahead, Black plans to make Ossh a language the whole world can feel. More tangibly, he wants hip-hop supremacy.
