“At the end of the day, Q.B.’s clever wordplay, entertaining subject matter and unusual character are what will open the world’s eyes and allow him to introduce himself”-Tory Fredricks ( Source Magazine, Unsigned Hype 2005.)

His reputation for having one of the best live performances in Chicago, as well as his ability to pack crowds into venues with no record deal or radio play has set the stage for Que B.I.L.L.A.H. ‘s entrance onto the global Hip-Hop scene.

In 2005 he was recognized by Source Magazine’s Unsigned Hype. Joining the ranks of Mobb Deep, Notorious B.I.G., and Common, he became the first Unsigned Hype from Chicago since Common. Fueled by this newfound notoriety, Que decided it was a no-brainer and began pursuing his music career full time. In the years following, he has sold over 20 thousand mixtapes and has performed at nearly every concert venue in Chicago. After getting looks from Ludacris’ DTP Records, Que joined Luda on a national tour opening for Rich Boy, Twista, David Banner, Chingy, Rah Digga, Nocturnal, Shyne and many others.

Que B.I.L.L.A.H.‘s aesthetic can be attributed to his love for Hip-Hop and Comedic legends. Redman, Busta Rhyme, Common, Outkast, KRS One, PE and The Roots, Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Dave Chappell, Bernie Mac, and Dick Gregory all equally influence Que’s thought process. The result is the perfect formula for feel good music which has the uncanny ability of organically connecting with the masses while presenting to the youth an alternative way to live and love Hip-Hop.

Both the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune have written articles commenting on Que Billah’s performance prowess and on wax he’s able to ‘bottle’ his live show’s energy, a quality that has been picked up on by the video game industry. In 2006 Que’s music was featured on the highly anticipated video game Scarface: The World Is Yours, and in 2008 on Midway Games Blitz the League.

Recently, Que Billah collaborated with national recording artist KRS One and fellow Chicagoans The Cool Kids on songs which have since garnered massive internet buzz worldwide. And Billah’s buzz grows stronger every day as his 2010 projects near release. An all-video mixtape/DVD titled You Can’t Do That On Television (mixed by Chicago legend DJ 33 1/3) is on deck for July 2010 and his 1000 Words video project is slated for Fall 2010.
