Rapper Rich Homie Quan Covers Rolling Out Magazine
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) September 18, 2014 -- When rolling out sat down with Rich Homie Quan, who was born Dequantes Lamar, we expected a very different conversation to take place. It was a pleasant surprise to find out that the 24-year-old rapper loves to read, respects his parents, and values education. Inquisitive. Respectful of elders. Voracious reader. Those attributes will serve him well in life and as he rises in the fickle music industry.
"When I got to jail and once I learned how powerful reading was, man, I fell in love with it," says Rich Homie Quan. "I think that’s why my music is so descriptive. My favorite author I fell in love with by being in jail is James Patterson. He’s the best author to me."
Find out what else he said to rolling out publisher Munson Steed about his hometown, the impact of his music on young listeners, and what compels him to give back to his community.
