Quanum888’s life was saved by music. Abandoned as a newborn in the slums of Kingston, Jamaica, Quanum888 was lost in the dangerous everyday dealings of his childhood home, until music. He is now ready to share his story and talent with the world.
His new single “Here We Go” is a powerful display of his painful past, difficult present, and hopeful future. A timeless track that combines both singing and rapping, this new record transcends genres and stereotypes, instead offering a vulnerable, moving yet raw take on life the way it really is for the young artist.
About his life, Quanum888 says: “Everything is broken and crumbling around me, so many friends dead, and so many near and dear that I’ve grown aware not to trust. This is where giving up on life and everything that keeps sucking the soul out of a person seems best to do. Music has always been that small bright spot that keeps the legs moving forward; to where? I don’t know. This song came about while I was on the verge of taking my own life; but I figured to give this music thing one last push…. Hoping there is a God.”
Encompassing so many substantial elements, both lyrically and sonically, “Here We Go” is a sonic masterpiece by an artist who could have been gone too soon..
