Not just for the Seddity and Pretty

Fonzworth finnally comes out with a video for "everybody."

I believe he was a Morehouse Man



You can catch him on MTV or is it VH1's (who can tell anymore) new reality show "From G's to Gents" where he does his best to culture the uncivilized. He was previously employed as Diddy's assistant known for holding the umbrella's and so forth... I believe he has a book out as well.

As far as his music career is concerned he has been around for quite sometime, though he hasn't released anything until recently. He says when Kanye initially offered him some studion time he wanted to make sure that his musical persona was Fonzworth and nobody else. He says he spent over 2 years perfecting his "voice" before he even stepped into the studio to produce a song. If you listen to his lyrics and flow the connection isn't that hard to make. He carefully strings what he wants to say together and isn't the type of guy (boderline blade) to just rap about women and money. While I really like "Everybody" my favorite Bentley song is still "C.O.L.O.U.R.S."

He came to Morehouse to speak with us about fashion, hustle, and everything in-between. This is a guy that literally would'nt take no for an answer. I recall him telling us a story about how he snuck onto the red carpet at some posh event in New York just because of how well he was dressed. He walked up the street toward the event wearing something Crème Brûlée. He just acted as if he belonged and that he was someone important and so they let him through. (For each story he gave us exactly what he was wearing down to the sock color)

In the Q&A Todd went up to the mic and asked him something about pairing a diner jacket with charcoal double breasted bowtie. I believe the answer was something silk lined with an inch and 3/4 cuff.
