Don Q's getting ready to have a major year ahead of him. In 2017, he dropped off Corner Stories and a re-released titled, Reloaded after signing with Atlantic Records. He followed that up on Friday with the release of Don Talk and it's safe to say that Don Q's pen game is sharper than ever. To prove that he's one of the hottest emcees coming out of New York, he hit up Funk Flex for a new freestyle along with A1 and the two of them bodied it.
Don Q and A1 pulled up to Hot97 for another fire Funk Flex Freestyle. This time around, the rapper tackled Drake and BlocBoy JB's fire collab, "Look Alive." Q comes across as comfortable during this freestyle and admitted that he was just their to kick some bars for the art of it.
"We in the buildin', you know what time it is. We come up here and I just want to have fun this time. Last time, I feel like I had a point to prove." He said, "I was the reason why all these n*ggas came up here in the first place."
As expected, Don Q drops nothing short of authentic street bars. After coming through with a few bars, he hands it over to A1 to cap the rest of it.
Peep the freestyle below.
