Rappin'4 Tay

Rappin' 4-Tay (born Anthony Forté on March 2, 1968) is an American rapper who grew up in the crime and drug infested Fillmore District of San Francisco, California.

4-Tay made his debut on the Too $hort album Life Is...Too Short, but was arrested sometime after his 21st birthday on drug charges and served 6 months in prison. Upon his release from prison he issued Rappin' 4-Tay Is Back in 1992, and followed up in 1994 with Don't Fight the Feeling, which produced the hits "Playaz Club" (which sampled the song "Private Number" by William Bell and Judy Clay), the "Dank Season" featuring Seff Tha Gaffla and "I'll Be Around".

Rappin' 4-Tay's mainstream success has been scarce since then, but he was featured in 2Pac's All Eyez on Me album on the single "Only God Can Judge Me" and Master P's West Coast Bad Boyz II compilation in 1996 and 1997, respectively. 4-Tay was also an original member of Bay Area supergroup T.W.D.Y. in 1999. In 2003 Rappin 4-Tay dropped "Gangsta Gumbo" with the single "Burning, Burning" gaining much popularity around the Bay Area. He has recently released his latest album "That's What You Thought" in 2007.
