Muscle Music Presents: GENUINE QUALITY "GQ" (Up & Coming Hip-Hop Artist)
GENUINE QUALITY "GQ"
While all of New York continues to vie for the crown KING..Born in 1992, A new PRINCE has emerged to save our Hip Hop Kingdom from peril... Muscle Music/PNW Global Empire presents the young and regal GQ- Genuine Quality straight from the borough that brought you the likes of Biggie, Jay-Z, and yes AZ... And like his predecesssors, GQ's latest effort "All Exits Are Final" is 100% from the place that's known around the world as the PLANET...A combination of lyrical wit, coupled with a bravado that makes the average listener even want to spit fire... It makes you wonder if at eighteen GQ realizes that he may be lyrically ahead of his time... Offering something for the ladies on cuts like "Kissin Lovin Touchin" to the hard hitting intro "Blow It Out the Frame"...Even hostess Hot 97's own Cocoa chanelle takes a minute to remind him that his "...time is coming..." And for Hip Hop---that may be just in time!!! Rhyming behind today's hottest and old-school beats ---GQ creates that feeling that Hip Hop's being quietly taken over by artists that have no idea where their roos should or have been grounded...Almost effortless---his wordplay and metaphors evokes a Brooklyn swagger that is as undeniable as any we've seen in the last 10 years... And re-affirms the faith that this young "Clark Kent" may be waiting in the wings to rip his shirt open for the game...Whether spitting a cadence of fast pitch bars like Nolan Ryan pitching in his hay day with the Rangers on cuts like "H.A.M." or catering to his more softer side for the ladies in "Shorty with an Attitude"....GQ has learned first hand that your introduction to the game has to be flashy, yet content-driven, and above all geared to make the listener keep guessing. Don't sleep on this crown PRINCE... He's sure to rep Brooklyn all the way to the bank!!!

Big Sean Arrested, Charged In Sexual Assault
Big Sean was arrested Thursday night after New York State Park Police received a complaint that a female had been sexually assaulted during a concert where the G.O.O.D. Music rapper performed on the same bill as Wiz Khalifa.
The rapper, born Sean Anderson, was arrested along with Willie Hansbro at approximately 9:50 p.m. ET after the woman issued the complaint. The Finally Famous rapper, who is currently on Khalifa's Rolling Papers Tour, performed Thursday night at Artpark in Lewiston, New York. Big Sean and Hansbro were eventually released on $500 bail each.
The two men, both hailing from Detroit, have been charged with forcible touching, unlawful imprisonment in the second degree and sex abuse in the third degree and will have to appear in court. "Both men were charged with misdemeanors and they both vehemently deny the allegations," Sean's lawyer, Scott E. Lemon, said in a press release issued to MTV News. "I am confident, that after further investigation, both men will be vindicated."
Big Sean has been riding high since his debut album, Finally Famous, hit #3 on the Billboard albums chart this past June. The LP's lead single, "My Last," hit #1 on the Billboard rap chart, and the 23-year old MC earned his first Video Music Awards nomination in the Best New Artist category
