Don Ferquan aka Quan

Previously donned “rap’s future” by Nas, DON FERQUAN, better known as QUAN, is a self-taught rapper, singer, and producer. Born in Bridgeport, CT, and bred in Newport “Bad News”, VA., QUAN delivers the consistent message of a reformed hustler who saw his share of death, court cases, and prison time before adulthood.  QUAN turned his illegitimate hustler lifestyle into street-related drama and brushes with death before turning to the rap game. Most known for features on two songs off Nas’ double LP, “Street’s Disciple” (“Just A Moment” & “Suicide Bounce”), QUAN blazed both the first and third verses, and sings the hook of his original song “Just A Moment”. “Just A Moment was chosen as the first single and blew up billboard charts with a bullet and received major rotation on major urban radio stations around the world.  “Just A Moment” was considered to be one of the most important and poignant songs of 2004/2005 & helped push Nas’ “Street’s Disciple” to platinum status.  QUAN accepted an invitation to tour with Nas on the “Street’s Disciple Tour” in The United States and Europe, which was also highly praised by critics around the world.

With hundreds of songs written, QUAN brings much needed lyrical freshness, blended with solid crooning and street poetry style that the game has been missing since the death of Hip-Hop martyr Tupac. Like an urban poet laureate, QUAN drops verses in the wake of sublime mic sermon, blasting his way through bars of true gangsta prose. He’s worked with the most talented people in the industry and has proven himself to be a stand-up artist. With features in XXL, The Source, Fader Magazine, VH1.com, BET’s 106 & Park, and MTV news/ MTV’s My Block-Virginia, QUAN’s buzz is alive in the streets and the press.  QUAN’s mixtape/DVD, “MOST ANTICIPATED” received rave reviews from AllHipHop.com, HipHopGame.com as well as MTV.com.
