You know that voice on the tracks? "Quincy Tell Em." For nearly a decade, that tag has quietly linked some of the UK’s biggest trap-wave moments. M Huncho, Nafe Smallz - Quincy’s been there, behind the scenes, making it happen. Now he’s doing something different. With Make Wave Great Again, he’s stepping out from behind the curtain - not because he has to, but because he’s ready.
Moving from producer to artist is a big leap. Quincy’s not forcing it; this feels natural, like he’s been building to this moment for years. He’s adding his own voice to the conversation he’s helped shape. Trap-wave had its moment, then drill took over and went global. Quincy’s focus is clear: reminding us why we fell for this sound and showing where it can go next.
That title, Make Wave Great Again, might seem like a joke, but there’s more to it. Wave never stopped being great; it just got pushed aside. Quincy’s not mourning the past - he’s reclaiming the space. He made the project in five days in Oxford. No emails, no remote exchanges - just artists together, feeding off each other’s energy.

The lineup says it all. Big names like M Huncho and Nafe Smallz bring the audience. New artists like Laicositna, Kilo Jugg, and Cal1sto bring hunger. It’s smart business, but more importantly, it’s community. Quincy’s always been a curator, bringing the right people, sounds, and moments together. Now he’s just adding his own voice without changing what he does - he’s expanding it.
Take 'Patience' with M Huncho and Kilo Jugg different energies, classic Quincy production, but now with his own voice in the mix.
The visuals matter too. The M.W.G.A video is clean and thoughtful. In 2025, dropping music isn’t enough; every piece needs to connect sound, visuals, and story.
Quincy’s worked with major artists for years. Now he’s stepping into the spotlight himself and it shows. With 600 million streams and sold-out tours, most debut artists would kill for his platform. But Quincy uses it to lift others up, shining a light on those who deserve it.

In an industry driven by algorithms, viral moments, and manufactured hype, Quincy bets on good music and real relationships no gimmicks, just quality and authenticity.
The lines between producer and artist are blurring worldwide. Quincy’s doing the UK version naturally, like this is where things were always heading.
This isn’t just about streams or numbers. The real question: Can Quincy lift the scene while establishing himself? If he pulls it off, others will follow, and trap-wave will reclaim its spotlight.
Quincy’s betting on quality over novelty, patience over hype. It’s about evolution, supporting the next generation, and building real connections amid a sea of manufactured moments. His approach feels human and authentic - exactly what UK music needs. If this works, the ripple effects will be huge. Other producers will take risks, invest in their scenes, and support new talent.
Quincy’s not just making wave great again. He’s showing how artists can give back and build a legacy. That’s exactly what the scene needs right now.
