Sincerity, introspection and insight. Three reasons why Qwel is a great mc. Interview courtesy of Emajynation.
emajyn- Speaking about love, that track on The Harvest, ‘where I go, there I go’…
Qwel- I was so broke man. When I got married man.. I woke up in the morning, me and my wife were chillin, we weren’t even married yet and I was like ‘lets get married.’ I met her like three months before that, first time I met her. And I was like ‘let’s go get married right now.’ I borrowed the dough from her parents to get the marriage license, so broke but we went and got married. But when we got married we got our little spot together and I don’t do anything beside rhyme and obviously its not paying well at this point and that is like my wedding present to her. Man I said, ‘ light forms through ballerina fingers and she sings when its funny, like honey harp strings strum to the breeze that just loves me. Like how when you dip your finger in honey how it makes like a string if you could do that so gentle to make honey harp strings or see a ballerina on stage the light through her delicate toe..’ man fuck Shakespeare. No doubt, plus not only that it was monumental to me because hip hop in the way it has been, has this consensus developed that hip hop doesn’t make really good love songs, it doesn’t make really good theme songs yet, it doesn’t make really good rock songs yet. And I feel like I made one of the most sincere straight up love songs.
