CW Fam, I have a question for you. You know that saying, “They grow up so fast!”? Today is the time when that phrase is hitting close to home in regards to one of the greatest emcees I know to ever touch the mic. Allow me to explain.

Two years ago, I came across a bold and confident artist who knew who he was and how his story was going to be written. As our first conversation of inquisitive questions and genuine curiosity of each other’s creativity filled the walls of a local cafe, my understanding of him intensified. Our initial interview caught me off guard because his mentality, self-trajectory, and mannerisms were not what I expected. I never came into contact with an artist in that age range with such clarity and tunnel vision. Through his melodic cadence and authentic lyricism, assumptions began to spread like wildfire, and I thought I knew what his next moves would be and everything AdventuresOfQue stood for. To my surprise, he has switched things up and put not only me but his listeners on their toes by dropping his latest project, #COOLGUYMUSIK.

Cool. Is it a personality trait you’re born with? A distinct vibe that makes an environment feel like the place to be? When learning the title of Que’s latest project, I became not only intrigued as a listener but also as a journalist about how far the ideology of cool travels back to. Silk presses with a lingering smell of coconut oil, lengthy fur coats, star-studded canes, and transparent sunglasses come to mind when I think of what the first era of coolness looked like (yes, a ‘70s playa from the himalaya). You can put five people in the room and ask everyone how they believe cool originated, and the illustrations married to it, but it’s a 100% guarantee that there would still be an overflowing influx of answers extremely distinct from one another. This is why I went directly back to the source who created the movement, #COOLGUYMUSIK to learn what was the origin of his most recent masterpiece.

“A cool person is someone who moves with confidence but stays humble. Someone who knows who they are and doesn’t follow the crowd and stays solid throughout any situation. It’s not about being flashy, but rather being authentic, disciplined, and comfortable in their own skin.”

Though it may appear that the megastar lives the perfect life with no stress, challenges, or worries, Que’s life did not always mirror peace and having it all together. The talented individual shared how his past experiences inspired not only the musical world of #COOLGUYMUSIK but also becoming a better version of Quincy, not just as the artist. While for some, looking in the mirror is their worst nightmare, Que has embraced self-reflection and personal evolution this past year and used it as ammunition for the heavy-hitting musical gallery, #COOLGUYMUSIK. The versatile emcee proudly expressed how his ear for sound is drawn to other creatives who create a balance of emotion and energy. As this musical canvas became my replay button’s bestfriend during the last week, I soon realized how carefully both Que’s energy and emotion were left on each track meticulously. It’s no question he had something to say, but I wanted to dig under the surface and find out the reasoning for bolding claiming his new truth and unlocked version of himself.

“My process was all about feeling the music and staying authentic. I recorded based on real emotions and real moments. I let the melodies and energy come naturally. I took time with the sound, making sure every track fit the overall vibe and message of the project!”

The sounds born out of #COOLGUYMUSIK are melodic, smooth, and confident. It blends emotional melodies with modern trap and a retro feel. It’s laid-back but powerful—music you can cruise to on a Friday night to set the tone for the perfect weekend and feel motivated to make an entire new lifestyle for yourself at the same time. If you notice the graphic design and rollout of Que’s new body of work, intent and cohesive detail played at the forefront of his artistry. The cover art was a bold symbol of the mentality and luxe lifestyle of #COOLGUYMUSIK. The colors and aesthetic give a retro but modern feel, showing confidence, individuality, and a calm presence. It reflects stepping into a new level and owning who you are as a person.

This right here, family is a certified classic for the new wave of emcees. Whether you're bopping to my personal faves Long Time 2 or Rose, all songs carry the same energy: confidence, elevation, and staying true to yourself. The theme revolves around growth, loyalty, self-worth, and leveling up mentally and emotionally. It’s about moving with a purpose, focused, with a clear vision of your goals. As the audio plays through your speakers and earphones, allow yourself to go somewhere else and seek the most authentic version of yourself.

“I want my supporters and those just getting to know me to feel motivated and confident after listening. I want people to feel like they can level up and take things up a notch. However, staying true to yourself and moving intentionally is always a priority. ”

— Artist, AdventuresOfQue

Witnessing the intentionality and strategy that Quincy now implements into his artistry has made me proud to know him along his journey and eager to see what the emcee has next in the vault. Elevation and growing is always key even when you know how to cook up a good recipe and create fire music. This project felt more like a personal testament to himself. With #COOLGUYMUSIK, the creative focused on cultivating a sound and a new world instead of just dropping songs. His growth is in storytelling and confidence. This project represents AdventresOfQue stepping into his full identity as an artist.
