Fort Minor was Mike Shinoda's chance to step out from Linkin Park, where he played rhythm guitar and keyboards, rapped and produced, and make a straight-up hip-hop record on his own terms. Formed in Los Angeles in 2004, the project put out just one album, The Rising Tied, on Warner Bros. in 2005.
It's a thoughtful, low-key record next to the roar of his day job, built on moody piano loops and conversational rhymes, and it found a big audience. Its fourth single, the wistful "Where'd You Go", climbed to number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and picked up enough rock radio support to cross over to countdowns that usually belong to guitars. Shinoda eventually laid Fort Minor to rest in 2017.
