Quan released his debut album, "Rich as in Spirit," in March 2018 on Motown Records.
"I never saw myself going this far with music," Quan told XXL magazine in 2014. "Music was just a hobby at first. I never saw myself being onstage and rocking out shows. After I got out of jail, I started to take it more serious, and that's when my dream came true."
