Substantial Wins The Vote @ MTVu’s The Freshmen

THEY CAN’T HOLD US BACK!

After the controversial whirlwind which was Mallory-Gate, your votes poured in by the thousands. As of today, Substantial has been added to regular rotation on the MTVu network, which can be seen in colleges all over the country (to over 5 million viewers!).

Everyone here at QN5 Music would like to thank each and every one of you for making your voice heard and fighting for us on this one. I for one, was personally overwhelmed by the rabid response this particular story received and while some of y’all got a tad wild, we certainly appreciate the sentiment shown.

Also, I’d like to thank the folks @ MTVu for playing it straight and allowing the fans votes to be the deciding factor in having the video added to rotation and not politics. They even reached out to me via phone to clear up all the mess, which was definitely classy. I look forward to providing them with more QN5 material in the near future.

At the end of the day, the lesson we can take from this whole thing is – people can talk shit about us, they can change the rules of the game, they can do everything in their power to stave off the New Hip Hop – but when we got the support of the blueschoolers behind us – THEY CAN’T HOLD US BACK.

BEST...FANS.........EVER!

Hollerate,
Tone.

P.S. I’ll have an update on my sunken studio this week – keep your fingers crossed
