There is no better time for a determined group of sharp artists and producers to storm the scene with an alternative approach to hip-hop. Cut to QN5 Music - a new voice that sheds all of the self-assuming, artistic obnoxiousness for a real world sound brimming with melody, lyrical prowess and high-powered beats

Presenting Tonedeff, CunninLynguists, PackFM, Substantial, Session, Mr. SOS, Kynfolk & Extended F@mm, all at the top of their creative game. QN5 Music is quite possibly the most versatile independent label to have been assembled in the past decade.

Featuring a top-notch, musically diverse set of in-house producers, including the legendary Domingo (Big Pun, Rakim, Tony Yayo, Fat Joe, Kool G. Rap), hungry newcomers like Elite (Jadakiss, DMX, Styles P), Deacon The Villain (KRS-1, Masta Ace), Tonedeff & the critically acclaimed, Kno (CunninLynguists) - QN5 is strong in all stylistic facets of the genre - whether it's the sound of the south or the echoing streets of East New York.

QN5 artists have already graced the pages of Rolling Stone, Spin, XXL, The Source, Elemental, URB, XLR8R, Scratch with features and glowing album reviews, have toured internationally, played major festivals such as Lollapalooza, Scribble Jam & Rocksteady, and have even been featured on MTV, ESPN & VH1 - all of this based off the sheer merit of the music and live performances, without the benefit of deep pockets and high-powered co-signs.

Constantly creating innovative marketing techniques, QN5 brings an expert working knowledge of web design, online promotion, podcasting, community building and advertising chops that continually predate those of major labels. The result is a devoted grassroots following, built upon the idea of community and change through music via the self-instated "Five Tenets of The New Hip-Hop".

Over the years, QN5 Music has steadily progressed under the radar, amassing an army under the cover of darkness - strategically setting itself up to become the premiere underground label in Hip-Hop.

Don't sleep - Dawn is quickly approaching.
