It’s humid where he’s from even in the winter. Quadry always liked to read, imagining igloos to alleviate the sticky air. Rapping like any competitive sport in his surroundings were championed, explained as a way out of obscurity, a way to see ones worth through sheer force of will & vigorous reinvention of oneself. So It Began, first with mixcraft, laptop mics, Logic & SoundCloud. The first few albums like Dopè and America, Me are dispatches backed by the alternative hip hop instrumentals of Michael UzoWuro ("Suburbia" - Track one off Dopè) & Thelonious Martin ("Tropic Blu" - Debut Visual & Lead Single from Dopè).
America, Me found Quadry insulating his art from SoundCloud and Bandcamp oddities to Tailor Made Instrumentals provides by Ricci Riera, Chuck Strangers, NOIS, and Tevn the London-born/based Producer who’s provided the backbone to every full length project from 2016 to now. Malik Ruff the opening statement, The announcement before landings & greeting was evenly an exercise in patience as it was in artistic ambition & limitation. Producers who’ve won Grammys, produced on classics shared the floor with Soon to be Legends & Icons: DJ DAHI (Money Trees, Worst Behavior), Dylan Brady (1/2 of 100 gecs), Romil Hemnani (member / producer Brockhampton), Steve Lacy (soloist/guitar for THE iNTERNET). Skhye Hutch, BOYBOY etc. Leaving little to no doubt the artist that could conjure such alchemy was destined for great things.
