The Q Brothers Collective
Award-winning and internationally acclaimed theater artists, the Q Brothers generate original work fusing hip hop and theater, adapting classic stories to a wholly original, entertaining and fast-paced style of comedic performance that has been energizing audiences for over two decades. The Q Brothers conceived the term Add-Rap-Tation in 1998 with their Off-Broadway hit “The Bomb-itty of Errors.” MTV has called the Q Brother’s “Nothing short of brilliant” and Time Out London says “The rhymes—and the energy— just don’t stop…”
Stream our new album Notice x Wonder Today!
The Q Brothers Collective is back with Notice X Wonder, a 10-track, 90s-inspired hip-hop album that marks a special milestone: the official rap debut of the newest member of the Q Brothers family, 12-year-old JJ Qaiyum (JJQ) — son of co-founder Jeffrey “JQ” Qaiyum — who went viral for his freestyle dinosaur rap at Austin City Limits.
Recorded by the full crew — JQ, GQ, JJQ, Jackson Doran, Postell Pringle, and Cage Pierre — the album blends old-school boom bap with the playful, family-friendly energy the Q Brothers are known for. Highlights include the New Orleans-flavored opener “Q Bros Bounce,” the nostalgia-packed “Powerful Potion” (loaded with 90s throwback references), and “Bother the Bee,” a track JJ calls his personal favorite about letting people be. JJ also gets his own spotlight on “Boom Bap Dad Rap.”
Notice X Wonder is a celebration of passing the torch — and the mic — to the next generation, all while keeping that classic hip-hop spirit alive.
