Last weekend I had the opportunity to interview K Quan, who happens to be a up and coming rap artist from Detroit, Michigan. Not only is K Quan a very good friend of mine, he's also a member of the Detroit based rap group Young Rich Boyz also known as YRB or 972. The group has been on a non-stop grind with writing and recording music, shooting videos, working on a clothing line and list of other exciting events. However, as the group prepares to finalize their second mixtape project New Shipment 2, K Quan will be venturing off as a solo artist.
Charisma: When did you realize you had a passion for music?
K Quan: I realized I had a passion for music around the age of eight years old. As kids, my cousin Vernell and I would sit around and write raps then recite them to each other.
Charisma: What artist would you really like to work with and why?
K Quan: Chrisette Michelle! I feel our styles would mix well.
Charisma: If you had to pick one influential music artist who would you choose?
K Quan: Nas, I see a lot of him in myself.
Charisma: If given the opportunity to choose which record label you could sign with, which would you chose and why?
K Quan: I would choose Def Jam for many reasons but mainly because of the history and I really admire the work ethic of Russell Simmons.
Charisma: Once you make it big, if you could help out the world in one way what would you do?
K Quan: I would definitely give back to my city and neighborhood. That's at the top of my priority list!
