Cquel’s most recent release entitled ‘Sentencing Circle’ features guest appearances from Self Jupiter of the legendary L.A. rap group Freestyle Fellowship, and Cas Metah of Ohio rap group Scribbling Idiots among others, and was produced entirely by Chief Beats. Cquel is also in the midst of working on a project with Juno nominated producer Relic (Shad, Ghetto Concept).

Raised in Saskatoon, early influences came from Beastie Boys, Wu-Tang Clan, and A Tribe Called Quest. More recent influences are Dilated Peoples, Hieroglyphics, Freestyle Fellowship, and Living Legends.
Cquel releases his bottled up aggression by channeling the ups and downs of life into his art for others to enjoy and relate with. Despite rapping for years prior, he started taking his career seriously with the release of his 2012 ep ‘Leads Me to Nowhere’. His next project ‘Dirty Thirties’ yielded two music videos including the national tribute ‘Patriot Love’. In 2013 Cquel shared the stage with Apathy and Celph Titled, Factor, Transit, Tragic of Philly Moves, Fresh Kils, Immaculate, Kel Worthy of Isosceles, Indelible, Parab Poet, Evil Ebenezer, Kay the Aquanaut, Josh Martinez, and Brothers Grim. So far in 2014 Cquel has shared the stage with Kyprios, Animal Nation, and Stage.

Cquel is a goal driven individual that has the determination necessary to achieve whatever end result he sets out for himself. A self-proclaimed dream chaser, you can expect to hear his name become more and more prominent in the Canadian hip hop scene.
