Watch Rome Fortune & Villa Cook Up a New Song at Audiomack Studios SXSW
Earlier this month, while our brand new studio was being constructed at our NY offices, we decided to take our booth on the road, renting out 512 Studios in Austin, Texas for several days during SXSW.
There we hosted an open studio session with our partners at Audiomack and Tunecore, extending an invitation to a handful of our favorite artists, from top tier names to some of the most buzzworthy up-and-comers, to slide through and record, all while documenting the entire experience.

New albums from Doe Boe, Hotboii, Kweku Flick and more? We have a complete rundown of all the new releases you should make time to hear.
If you're a regular Booth reader, you've probably come across several fresh new sounds from the likes of Tunji Ige (twice), Audio Push, Towkio & Joey Purp, and Dreezy over the last couple weeks. Today we have a brand new release from Fools Gold signee Rome Fortune and fellow Atlanta artist Villa. Rather than jumping behind the mic for a quick freestyle, the two worked with producer Lava Dome to craft a brand new record from scratch, the woozy, spaced-out "Hypnotism."
For more from Rome Fortune, check out his debut studio album Jerome Raheem Fortune.
