Contrary to popular belief, hip hop is not dead. As Ques'
 newest hit Whiskey and Beer proclaims, "Hip hop's been hiding out at my
 house." With the roots of underground hip hop music suffocating under
 mainstream conquests it's refreshing to find out an artist like Ques
 found a hole for air. This Bronx native delivers his music with the same
 lyrical capabilities of any of hip hop's founding fathers, the humor of
 a class clown, and the knowledge of a street Socrates.  His mix of
 creative talent and wit is reminiscent of a lost time in hip hop music
 when it was about the conscious message, as much as it was about having
 fun. Yet, according to Ques, his music is just a mirror into his world.
 What a view.
        Ques' revolutionary roots stem back to his childhood.
 After the murder of his father, a political dissident, Ques knew it was
 no longer a dream, but a responsibility to pursue his ultimate love,
 music. Growing up in the Bronx, New York during the emergence of hip hop
 was exactly the fuel needed for this young artists' fire. Ques became a
 local hit, performing throughout the tri-state area in venues such as
 Pyramid, Speed, West End Lounge, and Nuyorican Poet's Café. Soon, he
 was opening shows for the late and greats like Biggie Smalls, Jay-Z, and
 collaborations with reggae sensation Elephant Man.
         Ques' style is versatile. Outside of the fact that his
 bilingual background allows him to rap in English and French, his
 music has made it into television, radio, and Broadway theatre. You can
 hear his work on the movie soundtrack for Sucker Punch, Reebok
 commercials, and more recently the Mountain Dew MDX radio remix.   
        The man behind the music is currently working on his
 follow-up album to his 2005 debut, Open Book, which has sold over 5,000
 copies and counting. Ques is rated No.1 in the unsigned hip hop genre of
 numerous mp3 websites, including Garageband.com, and
 ISOUND.com. Brace yourselves for the fall 2007 new album release.
        So the following is there. The talent is there. Where's
 the record deal? Ques doesn't preoccupy himself with talks of signing n
 the dotted line. Though it is his ultimate goal, his immediate concern
 is bringing his life, love, and music to the masses by any means
 necessary. You can catch this laid back rapper rocking a Sweet 16, at a beat
 battle hunting for producers, or right next door cracking jokes making
 sure everybody's having a good time.
