Recently we sat down with New York rapper Don Q for an exclusive “Off The Porch” interview! During our conversation he talked about recently celebrating his birthday, how Highbridge differs from other neighborhoods in the Bronx, jumping off the porch, growing up going to church, running around with people who were older than him when he was off the porch, explains how social media has changed the streets for the worst, people being addicted to clout, there being a lack of OGs right now, being mentor to some younger people, reaching out to Kay Flock to chill on social media, explains his creative process, the music scene in Bronx right now, embracing the new generation of artists in his city, opening doors for the Bronx rap scene, transitioning from being a battle rapper to an artist, adjusting to fame & being noticed in public, receiving hate online, feeling like he had a point to prove during his freestyle on Hot 97, explains how rappers can lose their hunger, re-recording his songs if he doesn’t like his energy on the song, not wanting yes-men around him in the studio, taking 3 years off from dropping an album when his daughter’s mother was fighting cancer, becoming depressed, going back to NY to get back inspired, his growth as an artist, his next album ‘Corleone’, reveals the features that will be on the album, fatherhood, shares advice for the youth, and much more!
