Written from a podium placed above the clouds, Quin uses both slithery raps and angelic harmonies to reveal what lies on the opposite of unrequited passion and desire: fulfillment. Here, July is no longer in a place of want or hunger. Instead, he wants us to eat. Guest appearances from Bryan Durieux on Spanish guitar and Numemo on Latin piano pack a punch, (if not a reality check) to the taste buds on MAGIC BBY Meanwhile, Hardcore organs and violins serve as the never-ending banana boat for bars and braggadocio on BUDDHAKAN. And just when you thought you didn’t have room for dessert, praise and gratitude to the most high for being broken but still lovable come as coffee after dinner on WE GIVE YOU THE GRACE complete with background vocals from Maze which neatly sit on introspective monologue like a cherry on top a root beer float: simply, if nothing else, heavenly. This full course meal is the celebration of the journey after reaching the destination, proving throughout it all July’s basic truth, in his own words that: “ALL MY HEROES ARE MORTAL.”

SZN 1 (RMX) - Single

SZN 1 (RMX) [feat. Kony Brooks & Derek Aurelius]

There was a period in time towards the tail end of 2020 where I was in an extremely creative bag. Making songs left and right that are shaping what soon will be the follow up to my Wide Eyed Child album. And most of those records that are stashed away are very grand in production as well as concept.  So when that creative & intentional energy left me after while,  I didn’t want to stop my desire to write or produce. So I set out to get back to basics and make something simple in nature. Inspired by the lo-fi community I often find myself in while scrolling thru YouTube, and a Travis Scott drum kit — Somewhere, the Sun Shines was born. With a focus on reflection, nostalgia and lyricism, Somewhere, the Sun Shines finds me sharing tough lessons I’ve learned on the function of friendships, value of self and the downfalls of fantasy. Although originally intended to be a vehicle to keep my pen sharp over minimal production the project turned out to only be minimal in overall time. From lyrics, to collage artwork, to the details drawn in EP cover by Bryant Crisos, even to the projects own name sporting a comma; the theme of this 3-song package is that you should look closer — there’s something more there.

Somewhere, The Sun Shines

Muddy Roses

Proud Bronx native, boricua and defender of inner truths are only a few ways to describe July Quin. While his strengths include rapping, singing, songwriting, production and audio engineering, July finds the bulk of his creative freedom from his interactions with others. All while capturing the essence of childlike imagination. A polymath with avant-garde technique. Allowing his experiences to fuel the desire to set the record straight: He is going to be who he’s going to be and nothing will stop him. Able to claim the worlds of Hip-Hop & R&B with ease, July’s production proves he’s a lover of all things as his lyrics prove he is just as much a fighter of the darkness. Whether it be of the world or his own.
