Quincy Smith, 20, was born in Monrovia, Liberia (West Africa) in 1987 and was raised in Flushing, Queens NY. At the age of 11 his family relocated to a suburb in Long Island NY called Hempstead. Quincy was always surrounded by musically talented people and grew up listening to some of the top know rappers in the industry during that time. Introduced to him in the early '90s were Black Sheep, Grand Puba, Kool G Rap and Jay-Z, to name the least, but it was The Lost Boys and DAS EFX that he sought interest in. Quincy is the youngest of three boys in his family; he fought twice as hard for recognition but was never really taken seriously. However, His older brother Cooly always kept and open ear to him and encouraged him with the guidance that only an older brother can give, it was this motivation and encouragement that would soon shape how Quincy was to evolve into the musically talented Q-Mac we all know today.
