Kwest Tha Madd Lad





The highest profile rapper on Rick Rubin’s American Recordings label, Queens, New York based Kwest made a stir at the New Music Seminar in the early 90’s and eventually delivered a hugely entertaining album of stories and quality battle rhymes. He obviously had a lot of trouble with the industry as he had a further album ready to go in 96 but has had barely anything released since then.
