iLoveMemphis, the name fits the man. He loves his hometown and says it’s not as bad as it used to be in the inner city.
During a recent interview with HipHopDX News Editor Soren Baker, the “Hit the Quan” rapper explained how his native town is making a comeback.
“I’m from North Memphis and that’s the bottom,” he said via a segment of today’s (December 17) DX Daily. “That’s where you kind of have hard times. Yo Gotti’s also from North Memphis but Memphis has gotten better as far as poverty. It’s really turned up. This is our year. We got “Hit The Quan” going on, Memphis Tigers, they beat Ole Miss, they undefeated. It’s a blessing.”
