Born in a small town, but it didn't take long for QUESNE to start migrating from state to state. Even after turning 18, QUESNE (pronounced Cain) was still quite nomadic. Grew up during the Golden Age of Hip Hop. Used to have DJs sneak him into the clubs so he could perform his favorite songs and then be out before anyone noticed he didn't pay. Got in enough trouble to find himself on probation a few times, but quickly grew out of that. As time is constant, so is QUESNE's thirst for good music. Which has led to him being influenced and inspired by artists in genres ranging widely from Trip-Hop to Electronica, or Folk to Reggae. With this album QUESNE hopes to bring his laid back classic style to the masses and hopefully restore some of the respect and originality real hip-hop has lost over the past few years.
