Bio
At a time when Hip-Hop is spiraling downward, riddled with gangsta cliches and embellished tales of alleged hood ties, emerges Hip-Hop's newly anointed prodigy child, DON FERQUAN. Already donned rap's future by Nas, DON FERQUAN, better known as QUAN raps, sings, and produces. Born in Bridgeport, CT., and bred in Newport "Bad News" , Va., QUAN delivers the message of a hustler who has seen death, court cases, and prison time before the age of 18. Growing up, QUAN parlayed his illegitimate life of a hustler into street related drama and brushes with death before turning to the rap game. Most known for featuring on two songs off Nas' double LP, "Street's Disciple", QUAN blazes both the first and third verses, and sings the hook of his original song "Just A Moment". It was chosen as a single and blew up the charts on Hot 97 and every major urban radio station around the world. "Just A Moment" was considered to be one of the most important and poignant songs to be released in 2004. QUAN toured with Nas on the "Street's Disciple Tour" in Europe, which was followed by great reviews. QUAN is ready to wake up a dry Hip-Hop climate with his third mixtape "MOST ANTICIPATED" dropping summer 2007 and his debut album "UNTIL MY DEATH" soon after! With over 300 songs written, QUAN's bringing a much needed lyrical freshness to solid crooning and hardcore street poetry that has been missing in the game since the death of music martyr Tupac. Like an urban grist, QUAN drops verses in the wake of sublime mic sermon, blasting his way through bars of true gangsta poetry. He's worked with the most talented people in the industry and has proven himself to be a stand up artist. With features in XXL, The Source, Fader Magazine, VH1.com, MTV.com, Allhiphop.com, Hiphopgame.com, BET's 106 & Park, and MTV's My Block-Virginia , QUAN's buzz is alive in the streets and the press. Fans are eagerly waiting for his album, and it's clear that QUAN will be the next artist to carry the torch to a new era of Hip-Hop. QUAN is a producing, singing, and rapping force to be reckoned with. Using God, a musical background and poetry as guiding lights, this multi-talent is turning years of strife into a positive emcee life. QUAN's pending debut album "UNTIL MY DEATH" delivers a mixture of hardcore street tales, powerful punch lines and smooth heartfelt harmonies. QUAN mimics those classic Motown records he listened to growing up. True Hip-Hop heads will declare "UNTIL MY DEATH" one of the best gems to drop in a long time.With an All Star production team solidified, you can count on "UNTIL MY DEATH" to be a classic.
