"As an artist, it's all about perfecting and innovating your craft. Through time you test your own limits and break through hurdles that even you, yourself, never thought you could conquer. It's this same fight, and persistence that has put Ques in the top spot for underground hip-hop in New York City. In 2010, even the streets spoke, naming Ques the 'Artist To Watch' at the Underground Music Awards.This Bronx native has gone through the trenches, and with every song, he continues to rise. A kid who used music as an escape from the untimely death of his father, and the streets that were the Bronx in the 80s, Ques used all of the surrounding challenges as elements to fuel his art. His words soon became a reflection of what he saw, and where he wanted to see himself in the future. His 2005 debut album, Open Book, encompassed this the most.His journey led him to share the stage with artists such as Young Lord, and more recently, Jadakiss, Fabolous, Joelle Ortiz, and Lloyd Banks. He's now noted in the hip-hop circuit of the entire Tri-State area, not just New York City. Countless radio appearances have given Ques a farther reach into the lives of his fans, as has technology. Ques became the first rapper ever to release a flash card project, Rap2K10. This device allows for fans to not only download songs, but exclusive videos and interviews as well. Ques also has an iPhone application, helping his followers keep tabs on their favorite underground artist."
