F. Stokes is a poet. This should be made clear first and foremost for those who don’t equate the term with a Hip Hop MC. Arguments can be made as to whether the syncopated chatter effused by most rappers constitutes beautiful or insightful language, but F.Stokes delivers a compelling example of just those qualities. Pair these excellent verses with bright head-nodding production and you have an artist with a bright future. His style is very New York, though with a slight nod to ATL which is unexpected given his Chicago and Madison, WI roots. Regardless of where he comes from, he has prevailed with the EP "Love, Always". Be sure to check out the video for the single “My Simple.” -=brokeMC
