Don Q is a rapper who should be on every hip hop fan's radar. He's from the Bronx and sounds somewhere between Rick Ross and Biggie. On "Take Me Alive," a standout on his new mixtape Corner Stories, he heads up to Yonkers to grab verses from Styles P and Jadakiss

Rapping over the the straight-ahead mafioso production of Scott Storch, Don lays out in plain terms what motivates him to attain success: a desire to take care of his mom and put on for his hood, and to validate his suspicion that he is talented enough to take over the game.

Listen to Corner Stories.

Quotable Lyrics

Now who am I?
Just a nigga who was on the corner selling
With warrants, felons,
It was all a lesson, now I use my thoughts as weapons
I got tired of seeing my momma work like she Florida Evans
So I flew her out to Florida and I bought her section
