Bin durch nen Blog über sein "Für ne Umme & ein Ei" Album "Surviving Life" über ihn zufällig gestolpert und bin seeeehr angetan von dem was ich gehört habe.
Daher hab ich einfach mal folgendes ausreichend informatives Posting von nem rap.de User jeklaut, um euch den Mann näher zu bringen, falls ihr ihn noch nicht kennt.
Ausser nem Beitrag von Knowbody im "Was Hört Ihr Gerade" Thread konnte ich hier nämlich nichts zu ihm entdecken...

Is definitiv mit passion bei der Musik und die Alben sind u.a. mit das beste was ich in letzter
Zeit underground-technisch gehört hab! Zudem schreibt und rhymed er schon seit knapp 10
Jahren. Gibt allerdings leider generell nur relativ wenig Informationen über den Typen und bin
auch mehr oder weniger zufällig über seine myspace-Seite gestolpert.

let’s give the word to the artist...
“Basically I'm a hip hop artist from Connecticut which in my opinion is an untapped music resource. My style reflects the life of any real person living it the way most of us do. We got so many fake ass gangsters who just live there fantasy through there false ass raps. To me its a joke and in my eyes it just ruins hip hop in general. Heads just follow tv and radio to see whats hot and pretty much base there whole style on what they see. Im the opposite, I express what I feel and dont care if it's hot by someone elses standards. I give my music my approval and hope you do as well.
Why this name?
Back in 1993 my dog ill face got me started rhyming and gave me the name. Rising sun came from how quick I rose my level of skill. Sounds cocky but thats how it happened.
Do you play live?
I love to perform. Its the best feeling when your on stage and take control of the crowd. Im always nervous but after i get that mic im in another world. My favorite moment though was when i spit a rhyme way back in high school. It was the first time i made a crowed go nuts. Its when i knew i had what it took to be a true mc.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
well its good right now caus heads whom i wouldent normally be able to reach can hear my music. But if I blow up its gonna hurt my pockets.
But my mindstate right now is gettin the music herd so right now its good.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Of course. as long as i dont have to be a gimmick or have some fake ass image. if i had some creative freedom and dont have to compromise too much than no doubt. but if they want me to front like some kinda thug or pimpn or some sh*** like that than f*** no.
Your influences?
Redman, wu-tang, Nasty nas,black moon, mobb deep,krs 1, grand puba,black sheep, EPMD, rakim, ll cool j, kool g rap,.......”

Quest talking about himself and Hip Hop
Die 2 Video-Tracks aus dem oberen Zitat vermutlich von seinem Erstlingswerk finde ich jetzt recht durchschnittlich...also hört euch lieber gleich "Surviving Life" an.
