Description:Believe Me is the first single from The Rising Tied, the much-anticipated debut of Shinoda’s Fort Minor and excerpts from a decaying relationship tremble over a seismic breakbeat, infused with Latin percussion and a cello-bass line that reflects Shinoda’s love of classic rock.
Executive Produced by Jay-Z (who collaborated with Linkin Park on 2004’s Collision Course), The Rising Tied is produced and mixed by Shinoda, who wrote every track, played nearly every instrument and “slaved over every detail.”
Among a notable list of guest artists on The Rising Tied are Machine Shop acts Styles of Beyond and Holly Brook, as well as Common, John Legend, Kenna and Black Thought (of The Roots), among others.
Mike Shinoda’s personal philanthropic efforts are growing as well. In the past five years, he has started a scholarship at his alma mater and been involved in groups such as United Way, AIDS Project L.A., Densho, the Japanese American National Museum, Arthritis Foundation and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
