Joel Q has put out a slew of dope visuals this year, all preparing for his highest-profile project yet, Daniel: The Angel In Training. Last year’s Tunnel Vision project was highly-regarded, but Daniel is a new stage in Joel’s career. He’s been performing across venues in Chicago, and the hard work and practice have paid off. Daniel is his fullest tape yet, incorporating his honesty, witty bars, fearlessness in showing vulnerability, and his ability to create influential records. There is never a lapse in the 14 tracks, as production, song structure, and diversity keep Daniel intriguing and interesting. You’ll learn about the man behind the music, and why his SoundCloud byline is “Never Stop Grinding.”
