From iconic fashion statements (laceless Adidas) to an insider dialect that is understood globally (thunn language), Queens borough has leveraged the diversity of its populace to become a major influence in trendsetting. Musically, Queens hosts a collective of Hip Hop's foundational emcees (Nas, LL Cool J, RUN DMC, Kool G. Rap) commercial success stories (50 Cent, Nicki Minaj) as well as a respectable catalogue of newcomers (Action Bronson, Homeboy Sandman). Add the business acumen of its hustlers past (Russell Simmons, Steve Stoute) and present (Tristan Walker) and you can see that its (Uni)sphere of influence transcends multiple genres. Our purpose at mbiQ (meanwhilebackinqueens) is simple; humbly represent the unique culture of Queens and provide a gallery of its dopest offerings through a constant filter of quality control.
