Rising hip-hop artist Black Fortune has released his latest anthem, “Mister,” alongside a striking music video. This single, out now via Epic Records and Livin in Full Entertainment, follows the September release of “Forrest Gump” and sets the stage for an exciting series of releases leading in 2025. Known for his distinctive DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) style and innovative approach to hip-hop, Black Fortune uses “Mister” to celebrate his roots and showcase his unique sound, blending elements of rock and alt-R&B into hip-hop’s hard-hitting beats.
In “Mister,” Black Fortune delivers powerful lyrics that pay homage to his neighborhood, kicking off with, “I’m from the OSSH block, O ends or no ends.” This OSSH mantra has become central to Black’s identity, reflecting his connect to his community and the unique lingo that defines his music. The video, set against a grayscale backdrop of a basketball court, sees Black Fortune and his crew embodying the energy and grit of his local stomping grounds, the perfect visual pairing for this anthem of street pride.
The single arrives as Black Fortune is working toward his first full-length project since 444 in 2022, a release that solidified his reputation as a dynamic and inventive force in the DMV scene. His earlier mixtapes—OsshRock, OSSHLORD, and OSSHMOB—were instrumental in building his brand, while collaborations with notable DMV figures like Fat Trel, Goonew, and Xanman expanded his fan base and regional influence. His hard-hitting style, as well as the bold and elusive “OSSH” lifestyle he promotes, has resonated with fans, establishing Black Fortune as one to watch.
“Mister” follows “Forrest Gump,” an adrenaline-pumping track that channels Black Fortune’s versatility and creativity. These releases mark his first major solo tracks since 444, hinting at the expansive and innovative musical journey he has planned. The hype surrounding “Forrest Gump” was boosted by a live performance video that showcased his kinetic style, garnering praise from artists like Uno The Activist, who shouted out “OSSHWORLD” on Instagram, nodding to Black’s distinct aesthetic.
With “Mister,” Black Fortune reinforces his ambition to push hip-hop’s boundaries and cultivate a community rooted in his OSSH identity. He describes OSSH as “a lifestyle and a language” and, for fans, it serves as a shared ethos that goes beyond music. Describing it as “everything that you want it to be,” Black Fortune’s OSSH embodies unity, resilience, and authenticity.
As Black Fortune embarks on this new chapter, he aims for hip-hop dominance, positioning himself as a DMV artist with national appeal. “I had to take some time to study my crazy and become a better version of Black Fortune for me and my fans,” he explains. With “Mister” and more new music on the horizon, Black Fortune is set to make waves across the industry, bringing the OSSH way of life to a wider audience and building anticipation for what promises to be a landmark year for the artist.
