Nov 14 Quezz Ruthless: The Memphis rap grinder completely rides out in the 'N.W.A.' music video

There’s no denying how much energy and grinding rap artist Quezz Ruthless brings to The Culture and it’s on full display courtesy of the ‘N.W.A.’ music video. The Memphis rap artist keeps the momentum going from his 2024 Y.N.S. album with the standout record getting its own visual.

Forget the bells and whistles, Quezz demands all the attention from the driver’s seat and shows out from his crib, too. It’s all eyes on Ruthless and the visual glowing.

Never holding back in his music or life, Quezz Ruthless has rightfully earned his "wild child" title. Today, the Memphis riser shares the video for "N.W.A.," a highlight track from his recent mixtape Y.N.S. “N.W.A." finds Quezz channeling the energy of the influential rap group the track is named after, issuing a warning to the opps and flexing his flashy new purchases: "I got the racks in my denim / They can't even feed me to go up a size or two / I know these n****s don't like me / I say what I want, I'm a n***a with attitude." In the video, directed by TCP, Quezz rides around town with his crew, feeling unstoppable when he's dripped out in designer and counting his stacks of cash.

"N.W.A." is a highlight track from Quezz Ruthless’ recent mixtape, Y.N.S and follows up the video for "Jackpot" and “N**** Show Us.” The Grim Reaper Gang rapper's bars reflect his "Ruthless" artist name, showing no remorse for anyone who might cause an obstacle to his inevitable rise. Short for Yung N**** Sh*t, the tape was created in honor of Quezz Ruthless's brother and biggest inspiration: the late Big Scarr. Y.N.S. hosts "Big Scarr Flow Part 2," in which Quezz channels the style of his older brother to get off some of his toughest bars to date: "How you a ape but you scared of Gorillas/I walk around with your stash in my denims/B*tch, I'm the big dog, I'm king of the kennel," he spits. The tape's final track, "Ain't Stoppin'," produced by GRAMMY-nominated production duo The Trillionaires, features a posthumous verse from Scarr himself, as Quezz resolves to never stop paying tribute to his brother's memory.

Quezz Ruthless is one of the most exciting young rappers in the bustling Memphis rap scene. He first gained notoriety with his guest spot on Big Scarr's "MJ," which has over 85 million global streams. Quezz built a cult following in Memphis with his 2023 mixtape, Wild Child, which has over 10 million streams. The rapper's catalog generates over 200k on-demand streams per week across platforms.

With Y.N.S. out now and much further to rise, Quezz Ruthless looks to honor his brother's memory by going as hard as he can. Stay tuned for much more.
