Quin NFN has had to pave his own way. Hailing from Austin, Texas, the 21-year-old didn’t have many examples to look towards for guidance when it came to making it in rap. “Other rappers in other cities have people they can look up to who already did what they’re doing,” he says. “Austin has never really had that.” When most people think of Texas rap, they likely think of Houston’s rich history and modern day success. But Quin is steadily changing this narrative, forging a new path at the top of his city, one hit song at a time.

After signing with Eliot Grange’s 10K Projects in 2019, Quin released his debut album 4NUN, with features from PnB Rock and NLE Choppa. The project, which has garnered over 115 million U.S. streams since its release, found Quin challenging himself to push his rowdy sound further. But his latest project QUINCHO, out March 27, is a full-on showcase of his impressive versatility. Though he makes sure to still deliver turn-up anthems, like the rambunctious single “Ok Cool,” Quin also leans into his melodic bag to deliver catchy tracks like “All Blues.”

2022 be on the lookout for Quins new album Never On Time, Coming This Spring/Summer.
