I postponed my dreams and vision of a career in music and thought my season had passed long ago. I had my firstborn, worked and still graduated from Bowie State University (HBCU). Got married and had two more children all while struggling entering the job market after graduating early in the recession. Butafter all this time,the rhymes never left; just waited for the right season.
While I was building tho for my family and I, it seems the cultureI lovedwas decaying. Hip Hop stopped being a mirror for the world and started turning into a loop of the same hollow themes: sex, drugs, lies, and senseless gun violence. While the world was burning, the industry was playing with matches.
That’s why NUQETOWN exists
I am MATTIQULUS, the precise lyricist whose writing skills are now sharper than ever. I am also NICHE NUQEM, the nemesis to the status quo. I’mnot here to just join the game;I’m dropping a lifetime of real-world struggle and hard-earned wisdom like an atomic bombon a landscape that wreaks of commercialism and mediocrity.
We’ve Lost The Plot! It’s time to DESTROY the noise and REBUILD the culture. Join the moment and bring back real Hip Hop. The fallout is going to be beautiful.
