So my views of Quddus have changed - drastically.
I used to think my man Quddus was just another run-of-the-mill VJ on MTV, who was either going to let fame get the best of him, and suddenly disappear (cue in La La Vasquez), or if he was going to switch the game around on itself.
It first started when he campaigned for Obama.
I thought, wow, this guy is really something. He is politically involved, and not just for the publicity or because he wanted to jump on the Obama bandwagon. If you caught a couple of his videos on MySpace or YouTube, you would understand why Quddus became such a likeable guy.

During the campaign he jumped on MySpace Records artist Mateo's "Makin' MySpace," mixtape, which featured popular songs with an added twist of Mateo's own creativeness. Quddus and DJ Felli Fel were hosts on the mixtape, and Mateo also featured quotes from Obama's speeches in a few of his songs.
Here is Mateo's free download of his recent "Makin' MySpace," mixtape.

Also, Quddus' free download of his newest track titled "Humbled."

Spread the word.
We need more genuine artists like these guys - especially in today's run-down industry they call "entertainment."
