Ok, this is some fire right here produced by Black Milk…

*in case you missed any of the prior freestyles

I’ve had to be real patient. It all didn’t happen right away. Even in the midst of the whole gallery art world I thought this was the greatest thing in the world, but there was more.

Well nerds, if you’re not aware as of yet….I released my latest project yesterday and the feedback has been great so far (especially for a no name producer like myself). I wanted to drop this post on yall not to self promote nor to give a shameless plug, but to let you wonderful peeps know that I am giving away a free physical CD (not a burnt CDR, an actual CD with art and  shit). The 100th person to download this awesome mash-up will get the CD delivered to your home, or school, place of work, or to your side chick or side guy’s crib…….free of charge (I’m even paying for the shipping). So what are you waiting for??

First off, I feel like a jerk for sleepin’ on this kid. And if you’ve been, hit play then smack your moms (not hard though). It’s rare when you hear ‘lyrics’ in the post Google era. From first listen, you can tell that this kid actually pays attention to the words he puts together. Then his flow….ridiculous, he sounds like nobody. At the young age of 19, reigning from South Florida (yes, I was raised there and no, this isn’t a biased post) QuEst is officially on my radar. Download the complete ‘How Thoughtful’ mixtape here and thank me later nerds….

“Readers of the The Sunday Times in the UK were greeted with a six-page spread on Banksy including a question and answer session with the stealthy street artist. The interview ended up being quite insightful despite the fact that he talks in his usual tongue-in-cheek manner about museums, CCTV, his reasons for anonymity, his hypocrisy, his family, his art background, his collection, and sure to disappoint fans everywhere, he says – “I won’t be doing any more big gallery shows for a while, it’s all a bit dodgy. I’ve come into contact with a lot more villains since I moved from vandalism into selling paintings. The art world is full of shady people peddling bright colours.” It’s perhaps this distrust of the art world that led to the way his film “Exit Through the Gift Shop” turned out and also to the creation Pest Control, an entity that still refuses to authenticate his artwork that is taken off the streets by speculators.”

Head over to the original post and take a look at the making of video featuring Banksy.
