Daquann Smith aka “Q-Black” is a 34 year old rapper from Syracuse, New York. He started rapping in 1997 at the age of 10 but he really began sharpening his skills in 2006 when a close family member of his got murdered. It was during this time that Q-Black along with his closest relatives and friends created the rap group, “Fully Loaded”. Instead of portraying a life he didn’t live, like killing, being a thug, or selling or doing drugs, Black made a decision to rap about his actual experiences, dreams and aspirations. Along with Fully Loaded, Black has collaborated with several Syracuse rappers and is currently working on his mix tape. For any potential collaborations, he can be reached via email itsblackyup@yahoo.com.
