R.E. Quest Varnado (Request) Is The Hottest R&B Rapper out of Naptown
Quest was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana. He has been a music composer and found his voice by performing at various venues and composing music from a very young age. He kicks up an infectious party vibe with his uniquely genre-blending take on contemporary hip hop. Focused on clever and stylish vocal outpourings across double-time flows and a mellow tone, devotion and work-ethic unite through sound, the rapper notes influences among the likes of Rick Ross, Da Baby and Tyga, but ultimately paves his own way as a boldly versatile modern artist.
R.E. Quest Varnado (Request) IS THE HOTTEST R&B Rapper out of Naptown. DJ B Slime calls him 317 very own “A boogie” with an upbeat spin on the unique sound. This young rapper stepped in the booth for the first time just 3 years ago (age 20) and hasn’t stopped elevating his sound since. He has been featured with some of the hottest artist like Hip-Pop star Trae Simba and Detroits Michigans C.O.S Rocca. His first hit song was “secret” it hit 30,000 streams it was then DJ Stallone started spinning the track in Tiki Bobs (Indy’s downtown club) Quest knew for sure it was a hit after when DJ Dajon warren was the second DJ spinning the same track at “Fuzion Ultra lounge.” Quest really took off after he decided to relocate and take his music to the ATL music scene . He is currently locked in a two year contract with Hanger 5 ENT. They have been really pushing his brand and taking his reach to new nights.
Musical Inspiration
“My biggest supporter was my mother I lost her last year to a heart attack but the strongest soldiers make the biggest mark on the world.” The Hip Hop artist says he took that loss but now his soul shines through more in the lyrics he writes & melodies he creates. “I know she opening doors I can’t open down here,” says Quest Varnado. Right now the artist is working on merch sales and catching up on music videos. He has a Catalog or over 45 tracks ranging from hip hop, alternative, pop, and R&B. “My catalogue is pretty large so I need to focus on my visuals and create a brand I can sell.” In five years Young Varnado hopes to be touring over seas. This was his response when we asked him his overall goal for his career, “I plan to go global, and anything less isn’t an option. That’s the mission. That’s the goal.”
Latest Release
September 15th I will be dropping my first single under my new label Hanger 5 Ent. Called “Maze Runner” Produced by Anthony Williams. As I mentioned the rest of this year is about rebranding. So as for what’s next. The goal is brand deals, and building face value. I hope to use my influence to inspire and expand other business endeavors and artists like myself.

WeslyNorth: The Eclectic Artist’s Journey from The New Hippie Nation to “I Take It Back”
WeslyNorth was born in Salisbury, MD on the 3rd of December in 1988 as William Hudgins Named after his father, who was an army vet and later became a local DJ. William was raised in the church, as his mother is a devout Jehovah Witness who sung in the choir regularly.
Born into a musically inclined household, WeslyNorth developed a love for the art at a young age. At the age of 18, WeslyNorth started a collective of artists and musicians in DC called The New Hippie Nation. The collective grew into something that still thrives in DC where most know him as Willy Wesly.
His creative process consists mainly of views that allow his writing to flow. Bright rooms with windows, pops of vibrant color and tea with honey help him focus on curating the songs he’s known for, but don’t box him in. His style is eclectic as he pulls from artist inspiration he’s heard his entire life. Growing up listening to music from Fred Hammond, OutKast, De La Soul, J Dilla, Slum Village and Nate Dogg. Artists like James Fauntleroy, Jon Bellion, beaux nox, aldae, Isaiah Huron, Dijon and Sunsetto are just a few of the many he aspires to today.
His new album is titled “I take it back. An apology to those he has not shown his best to. It is a hopeful reverse of bad karma for anything negative he’s done or said. He sees this album as a way to say, “If I’ve ever hurt you or hurt myself..I take it back, maybe I meant it in the moment but I take it all back now.”
The album is a mix of melodic soul pieces that feature stadium sounds and choir harmonies. It is a cinematic, feel good, road trip, morning mood type of vibe that we cannot wait to hear.
