Lil Quant

Lil Quant is an up and coming rap artist based in the United States. He is most known for his hit single Haters.

Early Life: Lil Quant was born in and raised in Fort Myers, Lee County, Florida. As a wee child, Lil Quant had a predilection for music and rap. However, he did not take it seriously until he was 16 years old, at which point he dropped his first single, "watch ur friends". This was followed by "da kidd got swagg" and then the super hit, "Haters". 1

Haters: Haters is a piece about timeless themes such as envy and success. It speaks about how no matter what stage of life one's in, there will always be people who want to see one fail or are jealous of one's success. The line "roll call, where's hater 99?" emphasizes this point. This music video is also quite well done, given the limited resources. Not only is it extremely relatable, given the local casting, but it's use of entertaining freeze frames keep the audience engaged.

Controversies: On his Reverbnation profile, LIL Quant claims to be "the first person in Fort Myers 2 make a video"1. This claim, however, has not been validated.
