Growing up in the projects of Cleveland, rapper QP had to be “man of the house” as early as 5 years old. Unlike many of his peers, however, he stayed away from negative behaviors, choosing to go straight to hip-hop as a way to make a better life for himself and his family. Now 22 years old and signed to independent powerhouse SMC Recordings, QP maintains that Born 2 Win attitude that led him to early success; and, using a fast-paced flow reminiscent of his hometown group, Bone Thugs, he describes the lifestyle that’s The Norm 4 Me. Along with Styles‘s brass-heavy beat, The Norm 4 Me brings a unique view to some of hip-hop’s most typical topics. For more of what could be the future of Midwest hip-hop, check out Born 2 Win when it’s released this winter.

I thought Swizzy was on the production. Hook could use some minor adjustments. QP sounds like he needs some oxygen; furthermore, his voice sounds squeaky and high-pitched. I need another go-around with QP.

Yea dude got flows. I'm bias cause I love the fast flow. That hook is trash, but the production is good. And Qp's dilivery is cool. His content and actully pretty generic.

You can definitely hear the Twista/Bone Thugs influence in QP's voice. The Midwest has done well for itself in hip-hop over the last 3-4 years, but overall there is a major lack of new up-in-coming talent... wait for it... who are bubbling like so many Atlanta and fellow Southern artists. So, [I raise a glass] here's to the *possible* future of the MW. Don't disappoint me, QP.

ANNOYING PRODUCTION! SUCKY CHORUS! Sounds like a wanna be Young Jeezy Intro. This actually sounds like it belonged in RIZE. Sounds like he wants to be Bizzy Bone. Lyrics are Norm 4 Me, all the end rhymes to every line. I'm a say "NO"!! Hopefully he'll come better than this. This song is a 2, but I'll give 3 just because I've heard the mixtapes and he needs to just step it up.

Just for the record, this joint is 2 years old and definitely for the mixtapes more than commercial radio. Peep the featured music section on Imeem to hear something a little different.

I'm not feeling this very much. Yes he has skills, his flow isn't boring and it changes, but the production is annoying

Great beat, nice flow, just a really bad hook. I liked the beat the most out of everything, take the beat out and the lyrics aren't too great. I'll have to give it a 2, nothing to rave about is ok/good.
