It’s been a long time coming for Quan (nka FerQuan). Nearly eighteen years removed from when he first exploded onto the scene on Nas‘s hit “Just A Moment”, the former Ill Will Records signee gears up for the King Quan Project, which will include two new EPs: Barz and Balladz. Today (2/24/2022), the extraordinary talented rapper, singer/songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist shares the music video for the project’s lead single “The Jungle“. With powerful symbolism that ties the history of the United States to present-day struggles, the video is a nod to the resilience of the country’s people.

“I’m from ‘the jungle’, as we often would refer to the ghetto streets of America. If you wanted anything, you had to fight ten times harder than the average American, and face five times the terror– from crime to police brutality. You couldn’t be anything other than a warrior to make it. And even though I’m an endangered species, I am a King. With the blood of the ancestors and God, we unstoppable” – FerQuan

“The Jungle” will be available on all major digital streaming platforms via Kingz Nation Ent/Soulspazm tonight at midnight.
