New Music : AQ – “Too Comfortable”

Published

on

LA native AQ is bringing all the vibes this summer. His newest track, “Too Comfortable” just dropped and is setting the tone for what audiences can expect from him going forward. The song is definitelya vibe and showcases how AQ is taking his talent to new levels as an artist. The new visual takes place on the beach, where AQ is seen catching a vibe and singing to a woman, telling her not to get “Too Comfortable.”

AQ credits growing up in Los Angeles as the reason for making him who he is today. He says that a large part of his storytelling references the experiences he’s had in the city. “I want people to hear the sincerity & passion in the music,” AQ shared during a recent interview. “The way I talk, the slang I use in my songs, the places I reference in the music. When I think of LA as a whole, I’d say I am the city, the city is me. I love Los Angeles, it made me who I am.

The former basketball player-turned-recording artist is on a mission to get to the top with his music, and tells stories through his experiences in Los Angeles to help drive that narrative. “LA plays a major role in the way I make music,” he said.

“The LA dance culture is huge for me, I grew up partying, going to house parties, teen clubs and we would really dance at the events. So the beats I choose definitely have a certain groove to them that I want the listener to be able to dance.”

As seen in recent records such as “Top 10” ft. LA Higgz, AQ is no stranger to the life of the party and wants his music to help people have a good time, whether they’re at a party or vibing and driving down PCH. “Too Comfortable” is just the latest piece of work from the emcee and is just the beginning of what he’s prepared to do

. He still has a main goal of wanting listeners to “feel something” whenever they hear his music, no matter what that feeling may be. He will be releasing his full length project ‘Hollywood Hurts’ on October 8, which will see features from Casey Veggies, J. Star, and WaveMVP. In the meantime, keep up with all things AQ by following him @aquinn_ on Instagram! Check out the video for “Too Comfortable” below.

Swagg2x, is an artist that has always had music running through his veins. From a young age, his passion for music was ignited by his father. He is who introduced him to musical creations at a church banquet and later in the studio. Since then, Swagg2x continues to be an unstoppable force. In addition to building a lasting legacy in the music industry.

A Passion for Music Ignited Early

Swagg2x’s journey began in 7th grade when he first took the stage in his school talent show. His natural ability to captivate an audience matched with his drive to pursue music as a career was apparent early on. He started gaining recognition in the Chicago area, winning and placing in local talent shows. Over the years, Swagg2x has honed his craft through countless hours of writing and recording timeless music. Often delivering high-energy performances that leave lasting impressions.

Growing up, Swagg2x and his brother KingKay were introduced to classic soul and R&B music by their grandmother. She further taught them iconic dance steps to songs like The Temptations’ “My Girl.” This early exposure to music would lay the foundation for what would become their musical journey. They began performing as a group with friends from their neighborhood, learning about the music business. Additionally, with the guidance of their manager, Trusun, hailing from Atlanta, buzz began to start. This early exposure to music, performance, and management shaped Swagg2x’s approach to his career.

A Global Vision for Music: ChiStyle

In college, Swagg2x moved to Oklahoma, where his musical perspective expanded even further. He was introduced to a range of musical styles, including hip hop, Southern rap, and the regional dance craze known as “Jigging.” These diverse influences helped Swagg2x develop what he calls “ChiStyle,” a fusion of his Chicago roots with the eclectic sounds he encountered in college. This unique sound became the foundation of his music, combining high-energy performance with socially-conscious lyrics and a style all his own.

While in college, Swagg2x also performed in local shows in Louisiana, Oklahoma City, and Atlanta with a group called Street Poets. These experiences expanded his musical horizons and connected him with key figures in the industry. One pivotal moment came when Mr. Crunchy Black of the legendary hip-hop group Three 6 Mafia reached out to collaborate on a song. This marked the beginning of a new chapter in Swagg2x’s career, one that would propel him into the spotlight.

The Empire and the Vision for the Future

Swagg2x is not only focused on his music career but also on making a significant impact in his community and beyond. Partnering with HYPE Magazine and launching his own digital music platform, TuneClout, Swagg2x aims to revolutionize the music business. His company, GlassHausRecordsLLC, is poised to become a major player in the industry, providing not only a new sound but also a new outlook on Chicago’s culture and global issues.

But Swagg2x’s aspirations go far beyond personal success. He wants to use his music to provide economic growth, create generational wealth, and inspire youth worldwide. He believes that through hard work, faith, and perseverance, his peers can accomplish their goals and transform their lives. His message is simple but powerful: “Keep God first, and the rest will follow.”

A Force to Be Reckoned With

Swagg2x’s impact on the music industry is just beginning. With his unique sound, dedication to his craft, and his desire to make a difference, he is well on his way to becoming an irreplaceable force in music. Through his music, his platform, and his community-driven initiatives, Swagg2x is ready to leave a lasting legacy that goes beyond just the charts—it’s about uplifting others and creating positive change in the world.
