These “bigger” sites really need to wake up — talent is crawling up EVERY corner. After receiving a few emails yesterday, I stumbled upon St.Paul, Minnesota upstart WhyKhaliq.
His rare approach towards music is something that reminds me of a young Joey Bada$$ mixed with the grittiness of Mobb Deep. Today, the rising emcee makes his official DC debut with his latest record, titled “Quick Sand” — a track off his #WHYWednesday release series. now. Produced by JessListen.
Also, because I know you’ll fuckin’ dig Khaliq’s music, I’ve included a few other tracks that I figured you’d like. Enjoy.
