No it's difficult to generate interest in NYC street rap outside of NYC.

We aren't talking about talent right? Don Q is talented. But he's talking that gangster shyt. At this moment in time way more wild youngins would readily identify with A Boogie more. The drill scene uptown has all sorts of weird relationship drama these dudes grew up on A Boogie. The little dudes shooting wildly across the street at each other look more like A Boogie. So it's hard to sell that style.

I'm an oldhead I am fine with just listening to a random Lox mixtape. I don't have a specific reason to keep up with Don Q as an artist. I also have an issue with him being outrapped by Tory Lanez.

He could get with Jim Jones that is someone he could really learn from. It still wouldn't put him in the mainstream but everything he does will be more memorable.

This guy gave the answer in his own way.

#1 - JUST BECAUSE YOU MAKE MUSIC, MAY BE TALENTED & HAVE CONNECTIONS DOESNT GUARANTEE YOU THE RECEPTION YOU WANT. SOMETIMES nikkaX JUST DON’T BUY IN

#2 - While he tried to make contemporary music he didn’t seem “new”

Don Q could 100% benefit from a singular outside producer. He can really rap but a lot of his production doesn’t make him stand out at all, it makes him sound like a castoff late 2000s mixtape rapper.

Don Q is the truth. He got a few dope tapes out. He dumbed his shyt down trying to blow up and it backfired. Still my favorite NY spitter since Ortiz
