Quentin Miller Comes Through With “Strike…”

by

Quentin Miller has been dropping fantastic music throughout his career but he has not gotten the notoriety like some others have. He is from Atlanta, Georgia, one of the hottest spots for icons in the trap rap subgenre. T.I., Gucci Mane, Young Thug, Future, Migos, and many more are in the conversation for all-time Atlanta rap icons. However, Miller’s name is thrown off to the wayside and it is head scratching. He might not have the worldwide appeal but he can craft a track better than most.

He has proved that once more with his newest song, “Striked…” It was uploaded to his YouTube page Quentin Miller which has right around 31,000 subscribers. The song features thumping bass, light sound effects lingering in the background, and nicely autotuned vocals. It creates a wavy vibe that is perfect for a late-night drive with the windows down. The beat is so good, Miller lets it play out for the last 30 seconds or so.

Quentin Miller Has Worked With The Best

Besides making his own stuff, Miller has assisted in writing for some of the most highly touted records of the past decade or so. He has written for Drake, Nas, Big Sean, and other top-flight rappers in the game. In the month of January 2023, he was in the headlines, talking about Drake and Big Sean in particular. The scandal he got tied into was for the beef between Drake and Meek Mill, the former enemy of the Canadian star. Miller was accused by Mill for ghostwriting for Drake’s classic mixtape If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.

Unfortunately for Miller, it might be a big reason why his name never got cleared due to all the backlash he received. What are your first impressions of this new song by Quentin Miller? Were you aware that he wrote some songs for Drake? Will this song make you check out his material? We want to hear all of your thoughts in the comments section below.

DJ Drama Suggests “Gangsta Grillz” Mixtape With Quentin Miller After Drake Debacle

by

Some Hip Hop beefs can come and go without fans giving a care, but Drake and Meek Mill’s unraveling was havoc for Quentin Miller. We remember when Drizzy and Meek were at odds all those years ago—primarily because of the classic tracks that came from the chaos. At the time, Miller’s reference tracks for Drake were given to Meek, who could use the material against his foe. It was alleged that DJ Drama was responsible, but he denied the allegations. Miller even spoke up, saying he didn’t write anything for Drake, but that didn’t calm the masses. Funk Flex then threatened to release the reference tracks—and later did just that after Meek failed to provide a Drake diss.

For some, this is all water under the bridge, but Miller’s career was negatively impacted. He would also say that he wasn’t paid for his additions to Drake’s records, and has made no qualms about being bitter about the financial loss. Meanwhile, DJ Drama revisited that time in Hip Hop history with DJ Akademiks. The pair chatted on the latter’s Off The Record podcast, and Drama admitted it was time to make things right with Miller. The hitmaking producer has widely been credited as pouring gasoline on the flames of the beef.

DJ Drama Wants To Make Things Right

“Well, just to clarify, I definitely think there are apologies owed to Quentin Miller, for sure,” said Drama. He added, “I don’t know if I would say that they would only need to be from me. If it makes you feel any better, me and Quentin have seen each other recently.” Drama included Miller in online posts and even teased a possible collaboration. “I put it on social media, I put him in my Story. Came to the studio, and we’ve even talked. I asked him if he wanted to do a Gangsta Grillz. So, you know, I would definitely be open and down to doing a Gangsta Grillz with Quentin Miller.”

Drama also wanted to shut down any rumors that he and Drake were at war behind the scenes. They appeared together at the Kentucky Derby for Jack Harlow‘s music video and posed for a photo op. “These guys have patched it up. And then Quentin, out of the four of us or what have you, unfortunately, it looks like he got the short end of the stick.” Quentin issued a response on his Instagram Story. Check that out, along with Drama’s interview, above.

Quentin Miller Accuses Big Sean Of Attempting To Deny Him Songwriting Credits

DJ Vlad is notorious for getting rappers to open up about some pretty wild topics throughout their interviews with him.

One of the most recent artists to sit down with VLADTV is Quentin Miller. During their conversation, the “Arkham Asylum” rapper dishes on an array of different topics.

However, one rapper he decided to hone in on, is Big Sean. It all begins when Vlad brings up other artists that Miller has worked with in the past, mentioning G-Eazy, Sean and Ty Dolla $ign. However, upon hearing the “Blessings” rapper’s name, he decides to open up about their experiences together. “Yeah I worked with Big Sean. Big Sean, man, that really broke my heart,” he begins.

He goes on to detail meeting him for the first time in the studio with Drake for the recording of the aforementioned “Blessings.” “When I get to working with Sean on this last project, the What You Expect [EP] with Hit-Boy, I’m part of three songs. There’s only six songs on there. Man, we texting and talking everyday. I’m pullin’ up on Sean’s crib, like, every other day,” he continues afterwards.

Miller says he had a full-circle moment when he noticed that there was a plaque for “Blessings” up in the Detroit native’s house. “Maybe, like, a week before the album drops, he’s just not responding to me at all. Then, like a week before, I’m in the studio with Hit-Boy, I just randomly hear in a conversation with Hit, ‘yeah, the album drops next week.’ I’m like, ‘wait, what?’ I didn’t even know,” says the “Potential” rapper.

When the EP did drop, his name wasn’t initially in the credits for the first three months. “I didn’t know we was doin’ the ghostwriter thing, ’cause if that was the case, I would’ve asked for some cash,” says Miller. Allegedly, Sean and his team were attempting to explain that they had to get all of the paperwork done firstly. However, everybody else who was involved in the project, had their respective names in the credits.

Elsewhere in the lengthy sit down, Miller details writing “R.I.C.O.” and sending it to DJ Drama. He says he wasn’t aware that Meek and Drake were using the reference track to release it on their own.

Of course, Meek Mill publicly called out Drake for using Miller as his ghostwriter during their notorious beef in 2015.

Quentin Miller Says He “Never Got Positive Vibes” From Meek Mill

by

Quentin Miller recently reflected on the infamous beef between Drake and Meek Mill while speaking with VladTV. Miller admitted to the outlet that he hasn’t had one “good experience with Meek Mill.”

When asked about seeing everyone involved reunite to squash their beef, except for him, Miller answered, “I mean yeah it just felt like it was all worthless, it was all pointless.”

He continued: “Honestly the Meek thing – I never had a good experience with Meek Mill. I remember one time Rick Ross had me and Mack, Wedding Crashers, had us pull up to The Promise Land… and Meek just so happened to be there and he was just mugging me the whole time.”

From there, he explained that he didn’t feel slighted by Meek not inviting him, as he didn’t expect anything else. But he admitted he was upset with DJ Drama and Drake.

“I never got positive vibes from Meek,” he continued. “So, I don’t really expect nothing from Meek. But it’s really the Drama and Drake situation. Even Drama and Drake linking back up for the Jack Harlow video and everything. Shout out to Jack Harlow. I don’t got no issues with Jack Harlow.”

He added: “But it’s just like damn how do y’all do the reunited, we all good without QM? Like I’m literally at the center of the whole shit. Then he went on his interview with Rory and Mal and he was just talking about me in past tense like, ‘You know hey man, he was the only one,’ and, ‘Sorry it happened.’”

“So that was kind of lame to me. I felt more about it for Drama than I did for Meek,” Miller said, before adding, “I don’t expect nothing from Meek. I get the message from day one. You don’t fuck with me, you don’t care about about me. It is what it is. I don’t expect shit from that guy. But from Drama, that was strange. And I’m still cool with Cannon. It’s still love with Lake. They’ll check on me every now and then.”

Quentin Miller Suggests Nas Distanced Himself After Writing Credits On “KD3”

by

The ghostwriting allegations continue to haunt Quentin Miller’s career. He’s released solo music, though it hasn’t received the same attention as his writing credits.

Most recently, fans noted that he had credits on Nas’s King’s Disease 3. Unfortunately, due to Quentin Miller’s reputation, many fans believed that Nas wasn’t penning all of his bars on the project. However, QM said he was solely bouncing ideas in the studio after an invitation from Hit-Boy to join them during the session.

“I pulled up on Hit-Boy, I’m in the room, I bounce some ideas out, there we go. Clear it up. I just bounced some ideas, a couple ideas win. That’s it, that’s all that happened with the Nas shit,” he said.

During a recent conversation with Vlad TV, Quentin Miller discussed how harmful this narrative’s become. While he had nothing but praise for Nas, he explained the online chatter surrounding his pen left many trying to distance themselves from him.

QM said Nas shared significant praise for his penmanship and overall bars during their session.

“I respect Nas and love Nas like any other rapper in this world. To get an opportunity to work with him and he’s telling me, ‘Yo man, you’re one of the dopest new rappers I’ve heard.’ I’m taking this in. This is a great thing,” he explained. In the aftermath of the album’s release and the backlash Nas received, Quentin Miller suggested that the relationship soured.

“You get the opportunity to work with somebody and then, people find out. Then, they tear him down ’cause he worked with you. Rather than, ‘Look at you… damn, you must be dope,’” he said. “But it don’t turn out that way. It turn out they get burnt up so then, they’re looking at you crazy and then, they want nothing to do with you at all.”

Quentin Miller Suggests Nicki Minaj Gassed Up Meek Mill To Attack Him

by

Quentin Miller’s sharing some revealing details about an infamous era of his career. Yesterday, we reported on the rapper/songwriting detailing his publishing deal and why he didn’t get publishing payments for his work with Drake. However, he went even more in-depth about the feud with Meek Mill in a new portion of the interview. This time, he discussed rumors of Nicki Minaj’s role in his attack.

During the interview, Quentin Miller began by explaining that he felt like he was the Beanie Sigel to OVO. “I wasn’t riding like Beanie Sigel, obviously, but I definitely — I was OVO first,” he explained. “Like, in any situation, I was riding. Even down to me putting the letter out there.”

QM said that he tried to downplay his involvement in the ghostwriting scandal to protect Drake, only to have the label’s true intentions surface. “The whole time was, ‘Okay, get him to clean it up and then, fuck that guy,’” he said. “That seemed like how it felt.”

From there, Quentin detailed how his altercation with Meek Mill panned out. While rumors have swirled around regarding Nicki Minaj’s alleged involvement, Quentin Miller believes that there’s some truth behind it.

“Where there’s smoke, there’s fire, man,” he told DJ Vlad, who inquired about Nicki Minaj “escalating” the situation.

Nicki’s accused of gassing up Meek Mill following the Nike store confrontation. Vlad said that she’s rumored to have told Meek Mill to go fight Quentin Miller after the Philly rapper returned to the car.

“There’s no way you could be hearing shit, I’m hearing shit, Drama’s alluding to shit… And again, this is coming from a Nicki Minaj fan,” he said.

“If that’s true, ’cause it’s still alleged and I can’t put that jacket on there, you know? But, if it is true, damn, man. That’s all I could say,” he said.

Quentin Miller Explains Why He Never Got A Publishing Check From Drake’s Songs

by

Drake’s ghostwriting scandal hasn’t hindered his career one bit. Since Meek Mill revealed Quentin Miller was penning some of The Boy’s bars, Drake’s become an even bigger global superstar.

The two rappers patched up their issues, but Quentin Miller is still largely known for his role in the scandal. Unfortunately, the scenario was worse than the drama surrounding him. The publishing deal he signed at the time was so bad that he never saw a penny from his work with Drake.

During a recent interview with Vlad TV, Quentin Miller discussed Meek Mill’s role in the feud, calling him “inconsiderate” for how he dealt with the situation.

“It was like I didn’t matter. Like, f**k this guy. Even with Drama and them, you know, like, throwing my whole life on the backburner,” Quentin Miller said. “Just to get at a n***a, like, but what about me? What about me taking care of my family and the fact that I put my whole life into this shit.”

He added that he felt the worst blowback from the situation, especially since it ruined a relationship with someone who was going to change his whole life.

“I’m workin’ with a n***a that, literally, was about to change my life, you know? Even though, you know, I was in my horrible, horrible, horrible publishing situation with Tricky [Stewart]. So, I never got a publishing check off of any Drake songs,” he said. In fact, he didn’t receive payments for any of his songs.

“I had to feed my family off getting paid under the table in that situation because Tricky and them wouldn’t let me go,” he continued, revealing that he didn’t get out of the deal until 2019-2020. I signed in 2011…. They wouldn’t let me out. I had to let go of a lot of shit just to get out. But even while I was in it, I never got a publishing check or nothing.”
