“Q-ROCK ROCKS”
MR Q-ROCK
South African hip hop is yet to see an artist or group dominate consistently. Even though some artist have established themselves, there aren’t any who can rightfully claim to have the game on a headlock. So it’s safe to say that the throne is empty and whoever wants to occupy it will have to be consistently dope. Mr. Q-ROCK is one such artist, who looks to raise the bar wherever he step’s into the booth or stages.
