Some may say that it’s easier than ever to breakthrough as an artist in the age of social media. However, the contrary may be true. Any hopeful artist can create and record music from the comfort of their home. Not to mention, an estimated 100,000 songs are uploaded to Spotify each and every day. No matter the obstacles placed in his way, QFRMBRICKS is confident that he has the skill, style and productivity to break through and put Poughkeepsie, New York on the map.
“I don’t give a f—k. I’m still winning [and] I’m going to make it big,” he raps on his latest single, “Numb.”
The string-heavy production of “Numb” is the canvas that the emerging artist uses to paint a picture of his current rise. Melodically floating from verse to verse, QFRMBRICKS turns “Numb” into a declaration of what he and his team plan to achieve in the months and years to come. Simultaneously, he sends shots at anyone getting in the way of changing his family’s life through music.
“If n—s [are] talking that s—t on the net, then, they gon’ die for real,” he raps.
“I’ve been trying to put my hood on the map. N—a, I’ve been doing that. N—s are hating on me because I’ve been getting this money. N—a, all of the racks,” he adds.
Following the release of “Wicked” earlier this year, “Numb” shows QFRMBRICKS is as hungry as he’s ever been, both lyrically and in delivery. If he continues to evolve as an artist, the future remains bright for QFRMBRICKS and Poughkeepsie.
