Rome Fortune “Jerome Raheem Fortune” LP Pre-Order

Posted on Jan 29th, 2016


Cover Art by Esteban Schimpf

We’re proud to announce that Rome Fortune will drop his debut Fool’s Gold LP Jerome Raheem Fortune on February 26th. Following a series of acclaimed mixtapes and collaborations with everyone from OG Maco and ILoveMakonnen to Four Tet and Toro Y Moi, Jerome Raheem Fortune is Rome’s most honest and powerful project to date. Over loose, dreamlike tracks from longtime collaborator Cubby, Rome gets extra real about his struggles: his parents, his children, and their mothers… his dreams, his demons, and the drugs that may be fueling both.

Slow and funky new track “Love” is a deep dive into all the feels Jerome Raheem Fortune has in store, a powerful ode to Rome’s kids who keep him going even at his lowest. Get “Love” and Kaytranada produced single “Dance” instantly when you pre-order the LP now (and stay tuned for new “Dance” remixes from Brenmar, Richie Souf and more!)

Rome Fortune “Dance (Richie Souf Remix)”

Posted on Jan 21st, 2016

Rome Fortune’s debut Fool’s Gold single “Dance” gets trapped out with a larger-than-life remix from rising Atlanta producer Richie Souf, just named by Complex as one of their 2016 Producers To Watch. Richie’s buzz is strong thanks to songs with ILoveMakonnen (“Where Your Girl At?”) and MADEINTYO (“I Want (Skr Skr)”) but this flip of “Dance” might be his most epic track to date, trading the original version’s uptempo bounce for oozing synths and half-time 808s that push the auto-tuned melancholy of Rome’s verses front and center. Stay tuned for more “Dance” remixes leading up to Rome’s new album Jerome Raheem Fortune, out 2/26 on Fool’s Gold.

Rome Fortune “Dance (Brenmar Remix)”

Posted on Dec 17th, 2015

Chicago-via-NYC club king Brenmar lends his low end expertise to Rome Fortune’s “Dance,” masterfully building up tension and release with handclaps, finger snaps and truly filthy 808s. That bedroom boom! Stay tuned for more “Dance” remixes in 2016 along with more from Rome’s upcoming Jerome Raheem Fortune LP on Fool’s Gold. Premiered on FACT, listen to it below and check out the video for the original here.

Listen To Rome Fortune’s “Dance”

Posted on Oct 20th, 2015

Premiered today on The FADER and produced by new beat hero Kaytranada, “Dance” is unlike anything we’ve heard from Rome before — a melodic anthem in the grand tradition of dance-my-pain-away jams.

The single is another pleasing curveball from this one-of-a-kind artist, who’s equally at home trapping in a jeep with ILoveMakonnen and Rich The Kid on “No Ma’am” as he is guesting on Four Tet tracks and popping up at Boiler Room.

With his first international tour on deck and the single release (accompanied by a unique app that lets Rome chat direct to fans – and put his blue beard on their own pics!) the future is looking very bright for Rome. Stay tuned for more as he puts his finishing touches on the “Dance” video and his highly-personal upcoming Fool’s Gold LP. Listen to “Dance” and check Rome’s tour dates after the jump.
