Female Rapper: Quintescence

Keeping The Movement Going



Some of the Rap songs made by male rappers today portray women as sexual objects. These songs may provide the male Rap artist with fame and dollars but they do nothing to uplift their fellow female rappers. As a female RAP artist, Quintescence has had her share of pressure to show that she has what it takes to go toe to toe with male Rap artists. As she continues to polish her skills and talent, given the time she’s bound to outshine them.



Rap music can be dated back to the 1970’s with one of the first rappers DJ Kool Herc. Over the years Rap music has changed and today there are so many different styles of Rap music to choose from. Quintescence has an unpredictable and unique style that comes at you like a bolt of lighting. Her Music style will energize the moment, the party and the audience. Quintescence Rap style is fresh and aggressive which makes it so powerful.

Everyone has that person in their life that is their biggest influence, that one special person that gives them the motivation to do what they do, for Quintescence that’s her grandmother. Quintescence has been influenced by her grandmother’s strength and that has helped to build her character. When speaking with Quintescence you can feel how important family is to her.
A creative mind can be like a flower garden if you give it what it needs it will bloom award-winning flowers. Creating a Rap song sometimes needs inspiration to bloom into a hard-hitting, booty shaking Rap song masterpiece. For Quintescence her inspiration comes from her life experiences, which gives her songs that unique flavor.



Someone told me that no matter what career path one takes there would always be the BS side of business, aka the business politics. If you’re not watchful it will wash over you like a tidal wave and drown you and your dreams. For Quintescence the politics of the business side has been one of her most challenges with her music career, however with her love and passion for music, this has kept her afloat.

There are those that sit on the sidelines and watch life pass them by as their dreams fade to black. However, this is not the case for Quintescence. She was a two-time Winner at The Apollo Theatre and awarded Best Female Rapper in 2003 by Under Ground Music as well as featured on over 100 blog sites. Next for the Diva of Rap, is to continue to grow and have the patience to do it BIG! This year Quintescence is up for Best Female Rap Artist and Song of the year by the Under Ground Music Awards. Coming our way soon is the release of her new music video for her hot single “New York Shit.”

To do your best and give your best one needs to recharge. When she’s not performing or composing, Quintescence recharges her batteries with good conversations, long walks through Central Park, chillin by pool and catching her favorite show Sex and the City. Born and raised in the Bronx of New York, this dynamic Rap artist dream of performing at Madison Square Gardens. With her determination I have no doubt that dream will become a reality.
