Q da Kid Livin’ the Dream Part 2, feat Busta Rhymes and Ron Browz:
XXL Mag recently interviewed TAG Records’ Q da Kid.
“Q Da Kid may be a relatively new of name to some, but expect that to soon change. The Brooklyn bred rapper has been working closely with producer/entrepreneur Jermaine Dupri for the last couple years and is now ready to let his voice be heard.
A former member of the group Da Franchise (with Gravy and Red CafĂ©), Q signed to the newly launched TAG Records this past summer as their first artist. Backed by the support of JD and a strong marketing campaign, he is preparing to release his debut, It Was All A Dream, in the first quarter of 2009.”
Jake Paine of HipHopDX.com sat down recently with Kareem Savage, aka Q da Kid, to talk about his history (BROOKLYN!!!) and making history as TAG Records first recording artist.
“That relationship led to the TAG deal. However, given the major backing Q has, he may be in a greater position than most debuting artists with bringing attention back to New York. He recognizes the accountability that comes with that though. “Being that I’m from Brooklyn, a lot of the great emcees came from [here]. So there’s a lot of pressure at the end of the day. People expect a lot ’cause a lot of great music came from here,” Q says, citing Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z [click to read], Lil Kim and Shyne. “I gotta make sure my music is correct, and it represents Brooklyn and Hip Hop as a whole. That’s what I’m trying to do.” It’s bigger than New York to Q. “I’m not trying to be a regional artist. I’m trying to be an artist that can go to Africa or China and perform.“
One of our new favorite bloggers, Xclusives Zone, highlights two new video blog posts from TAG Records’ own Jermaine Dupri and his sometime partner in the game, BOW WOW. It seems that JD and Bow Wow share more than their love for hip hop, as they both show off their new Nike Air Jordans.
Check it out as JD attempts to one up Bow Wow in the battle of the kicks vol 1.
