I, John is the second album by rapper John Forté. It was released in 2002 on the indie label Transparent. Recorded while he was awaiting sentencing for drug distribution charges, Forte's album was arguably the most introspective, reflective, and experimental of his short career. "Harmonize" rides a classic break beat and shows the styling that he employed so successfully with the Fugees. However, "Been There, Done That" might as well be an alternative rock song, and "Reunion" closes the album in acoustic fashion. "Will you hold a place for me?" John vulnerably sings.
