(New Exclusive Interview) Quentin Gilmore Talks Music With Hip Hop On Deck

You Recently Dropped A New Record Titled "XXL HEART". Whats Inspired That Record?
Thats my favorite record off that project hands down. I remember I was at work that morning getting texts about my girl doing something she wasnt supposed to be doing.
I was heated, as soon as I got home I just let loose on Kanye West's "Selfish" instrumental. That song was me telling my Ex straight up your gonna regret moving like that later! The title comes from a lyric in the song "You f***** wit a small n****, XXL Heart". The name of my Brand is Wholehearted so im just saying size dont matter when you got heart!



Where Are You From And Whats It Like Out There?
Im From Mt.Vernon,Ny(aka. Money Earning Mt.Vernon). One of the lost boroughs small town, only 4 square miles but infested with talent. Unfortunately most dont make it out because they get caught up in the streets. We haven't had a rapper in the game since Heavy D, Im grinding to be the next artist to open the door up.
How Did You Get Started Making Music?
My big sister (MoneyGangDeeDee) is an amazing artist. I always used to play around rapping and stuff, while her and her friends took it serious. I sat in the sessions, and watched them create projects. I kinda wanted their approval i started writing and recording songs and before i knew it i had enough songs for a Mixtape. I put out my first project "Winter Love" in 2013 and it was well accepted. That inspired me to keep going and year after year I've gotten better and better.
Theres A Million Artists & Rappers Out There What Makes You Different?
I feel like i just take a different approach to music. I dont like to waste words, and i never say something just to say it. Theres alot of kids who look up to me in my city i just want to push the generation forward. I love music and will make music forever however I can do alot more then just rap. When the Foxx host told Lebron James to "just shut up and dribble", I really felt a way about that. I have so much to offer to not just the rap game but to the world. So many ideas, concepts, things that will make the world better.

Me and my manager (Devonte Banner) have long talks all the time just about how we gonna move when we get our foots in the door. What seperates me from all the rappers out now is that i still follow the 90s principles. A line from my song (Esco Feat. Niko Brim).. "My favorite rapper is Lauryn

Hill that should tell you something". Its hard to listen to such quality music and then go in the studio and make something subpar. I TREAT EVERY SESSION LIKE ITS MY LAST! Im not in this for the games Im here to stay.

If You Could Describe Your Sound In One Word, What Word That Word Be?
That word would be "UNDENIABLE". Self explanatory, you cant deny talent!
Whats One Thing Your Fans Should Know About You That They Might Not Already know?
One thing my fans should know is that Im passionate about everything I do and everyone I support. And a fun fact most people dont know is that I'm actually fully Deaf in my right ear.

What Are Your Plans & Goals For 2018?
For me 2018 is just about expanding myself and my brand. All the years previous have been me developing as an artist. I feel im at the point where im confident in myself, I know exactly who I am as an artist and what I want to talk about. And I've conquered my city now its about attack the boroughs, and after that each state one by one.
Any Upcoming Projects We Should Look Out For?
Not too long ago I put out a 20 track mixtape called "10B Forever" On Spinrilla. Dope project featuring some dope artists (MoneyGangDeeDee,Snoopy Dinero,Niko Brim, Slayla & More). Got alot of music im working on right now for my follow up project though i cant really get to in depth I love the element of suprise. One thing i can guarentee is a Classic joint project from Me & Niko Brim sometime during the second half of the year. We gone put on for the #914 we need some production from Pete Rock, spread the word!
