Sometimes an artist can just grab your attention through a performance. I had known The Rising Sun Quest for a little while, but it was during a show in Danbury, CT that I realized he needed to be featured on this site. The Waterbury, CT native is part of a collection of MCs and producers called the Ant Farm Affiliates, a crew that has come together to create great Hip-Hop music and attempt to show listeners that there’s a lot more out there than current radio playlists might lead one to believe. Quest is currently working on his third solo effort, his first two being Stellar Evolution and Surviving Life, and with every song he writes he has one main objective, “to create dope songs with deep concepts and meaningful lyrics that are in my opinion timeless.” Attaining that goal hasn’t always been easy, though, as he readily admits “I’m human.” This week I’m sitting down with The Rising Sun Quest to discuss his work, the meaning of his name, and how one of his songs has been saving lives.
