Director Jeff Nicholas and his colleagues at The Uprising Creative captured it all with a GoPro-based VR rig. Shot in VR/360, the video captures the local community vibe of Venice Beach, where Mike painted a giant canvas mural with original design right on the infamous boardwalk. It's a hip hop song with a punk, DIY ethos. Through a buoyant, tenacious, confident tone, 'Welcome' speaks from the outsider to the outsider. To go against the overwhelming divisiveness in our world by inviting people in rather than pushing them away. 'Welcome' will create a moment to bring together the underdogs, the outcasts, the shy, and the uninvited. The result is a unique experience set in Venice Beach where everyone is invited. Among the world's first 360-degree virtual reality (VR) music videos, Shinoda and his collaborators at The Uprising Creative in Los Angeles joined forces to fully leverage the power of VR. Inspired by his unforgettable experiences over the past decade and the artist within, Mike has just released a brand new FORT MINOR song and video titled 'Welcome'. It's been nearly ten years since artist and producer Mike Shinoda - founder of LINKIN PARK - released 'The Rising Tied', the debut studio album from his solo project FORT MINOR.
