Letter from Mike:

“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced”

I didn’t intend to write a new Fort Minor song, it just kinda happened. It’s not part of a new album, it’s just a song that I knew I wanted people to hear right now. And to make it easy for all of you in the LPU, I thought I’d just send you the song directly.
“Welcome” is an underdog song, an outsider’s song. Fort Minor has always been my outside outlet as a solo musician and painter, and a way for me to build confidence as an individual, though my individual voice. I played every note, wrote and sang every word, produced and mixed the song, and created all the artwork.
The video, shot in Venice, CA, is a 360 experience. In it, I painted a (huge) mural made from 1000 vinyl record jackets. After the video, I signed and/or drew on each one, and a vinyl single was placed inside with a print of the entire mural. Those are available now (until they sell out).
Head over to FortMinor.com to watch the 360 video tomorrow. If you watch it on your phone in the YouTube app, you’ll be able to move around in the space by moving your phone. If you watch it on your desktop or laptop computer, just click and drag on the video to look around. Watch it more than once, you’ll have a different experience each time.
I also made a bunch of new Fort Minor apparel I think you’ll like; you can even get the vinyl and a tee as a bundle for a discount. Those are on FortMinor.com as well.
I hope you enjoy “Welcome” as much as I’ve enjoyed creating it.
Sincerely,

Merchandise
Welcome is being released on vinyl, with it you get a unique cover
that is part of a mural in the Welcome video, so each sleeve is hand
painted by Mike, plus he has hand signed all of them. Here’s the
description from the store:
The centerpiece of Fort Minor’s new single “Welcome”, seen in the 360 video for the song, is a hand-painted mural made of 1000 blank vinyl jackets. Mike painted these on the public boardwalk in Venice, California. The end result: 1000 hand-painted, individually-signed vinyl jackets.
Each hand-painted jacket is signed by Shinoda and accompanied by an 11″ X 6.5″ art print of the finished mural to create a one-of-a-kind experience for each fan.
The deluxe, limited edition vinyl collection features the most dynamic, colorful and paint-heavy jackets. Every jacket from the mural features Mike’s signature and custom design, however the deluxe collection features artwork from the most distinguished areas of the piece.
Note: Because each jacket is a unique piece of art, there will be variance in the design on each jacket. However, each jacket is signed and painted and/or drawn on by Shinoda.
You can get the vinyl on it’s own or as a part of a bundle with tshirt – view the bundles here
