BigQuan at work on new album Los Angeles, CA ? BigQuan is set to give you a peek into ?My Dream Life.? That?s the title of the album he?s busy putting together. It?s sure t? ?Make U Smile.? That would be the name of the CD?s first single. But whatever the name, that single and the album represent a perfect opportunity for hip-hop fans to find out what BigQuan is all about. Smooth melodies and grooves provide a musical juxtaposition to the sometimes-hard content of the lyrics and their honest exploration of the rigors of life. ?Make u Smile? is an autobiographical tune and thus quite fitting as an intro to an album that digs into BigQuan?s life and shares it openly through beats and hip-hop poetry. The song delves into BigQuan?s artistic success, his life making music and those who have boosted him as well as those who have ? unsuccessfully ? tried to bring him down. BigQuan has aimed for a broader scope this time out. ?By putting together this album, I was able to expand my ability of writing lyrics for different types of audiences, where every age bracket can relate to my music,? he explains. Previous releases featuring BigQuan include ?G-Unit Vs. Everybody Round 2? and ?What Fuck You Want For Free? mixtape, BigQuan?s ?very own DJ release.? Laquan Johnson ? aka BigQuan ? began life as a rapper eight years ago, spurred on by the loss of his father to cancer. Originally from Brooklyn, BigQuan spent six months in Jamaica?s Montego Bay where he discovered a group of people who loved rhymes and became both friends and musical associates. It was during this part of his life ? challenged by his friends and rap partners ? that he decided to take life ? including his music ? seriously. When the album is released on Nov. 17, 2008, BigQuan will take to the road, touring in support of ?My Dream Life.? He?s currently working with A&R Select, the world?s leading independent artist development firm, based out of Los Angeles, CA.

    Congrats to "Rantings of Eva"!!!
    I also wanna say congrats to everyone in this comp for getting heard and getting the recognition that you all deserve. I know I at times displayed my emotions in ways that was not cool. But it's all in the growing up department, and we all evolved from this. Just keep keeping it real, and we will once again (soon I hope), be side by side in our quest for success and being HEARD! Here's another idea for being heard! There's a new page on MN called "Collaboration Nation" for the listing of music that are collabs between 2 or more artists on MN. It's not just there you can be heard, but if you collaborate with other artists in other genres, then your limitations to which contests you can enter just opened up to an endless selection. Use whatever you can to BE HEARD!!!!! http://musicnation.com/music/mncollabs I love you all to DEATH! LSD

    So its after 12 and we're still going! Apparently i'm not sleeping tonight. I'm guessing we have a few more hours before we get our lives back so what better way to spend them other than voting for all of our kick ass friends?! Exactly, no better way.
