After serving almost a 14 year sentence after he was found guilty of possessing 31lbs of liquid cocaine at an airport, rapper John Forte landed a new job as a teacher with the City of College of New York. He starts on March 31st and will work with In Arms Reach, a program which provides a positive environment for at-risk youth and children of incarcerated parents. Forte will teach a twelve-week course geared towards students aged 12-15. He will use music as a therapeutic means to address stress, anger and pain. “John hopes that the catharsis of song composition will help children deal with the stigma of having a family member who is incarcerated and rebuild the spirit of those who have been traumatized or abandoned,” a representative for Forte told AllHipHop.com. As previously reported, Forte received a presidential pardon from President George W. Bush in November of 2008.
