His stage name carries weight “Q” for Quentin and “052” for his community code, making his artistry both personal and political. On “Loud Sunday”, he blends boom bap grit with alt-rock textures and spoken word intensity, creating a soundscape as raw as his message. The air horns slicing through the production feel like a rallying siren, demanding you snap out of numbness.
Inspired by icons like Immortal Technique and Rage Against the Machine, Q052 channels their urgency but crafts something wholly his own, part hip-hop sermon, part grunge rebellion. "Loud Sunday” is a call to consciousness, a pulse of resistance, and proof that Q052 stands as one of Canada’s most unapologetically essential voices.
