With Quincy B’s sudden death, the Grain Coast Magazine in collaboration with Tunesliberia.com decided to evaluate the ‘Wonda Boy’ discography.

Quincy Luwokollie Burrowes, best known as Quincy B was a Liberian musician and music producer. Quincy was born on April 24, 1996, and died on March 3, 2017 in a car accident.  Though he died at an early age, his golden voice and musical talents put him amongst Liberia’s leading Afro-pop artists, thus leaving him as the brand ambassador of Lonestar Cell MTN telecommunications company, and the marketing face of football club, Barrack Young Controllers.

Quincy talents was recognized by one of Liberia’s top music producer, Infectious Michael.  He was later signed to Heart Beat Records and exploded into the Liberian musical industry with ‘’My Dream’’ a song he featured his musical idol, Scientific.

Since his musical explosion, Quincy has has worked on songs like ‘’The Hope Song’’ by Liberian Artists Together for Advancement (LATA), and ‘’Save Liberia’’ by the Liberian All-Stars during the Ebola crisis in 2014. He has also produced hit songs for various Liberian artists such as; Eric Geso – Go Home, Kobazzie – Go Sleep, D’Ameko – Handle Me, Christoph featuring C.I.C – Jay Sabu, etc….

4. ‘’My Dream Ft. Scientific’’

– Most fans don’t know that this was originally Quincy’s song. He was currently working on it when Scientific visited Infectious Michael at Heart Beat Records. When Scientific heard the track, he asked for a collaboration, and the rest became history. My dream was Quincy first released single, and first major hit.

 

3. ‘’Tumba Baba’’

– Tumba Baba was the first song to actually take Quincy viral due to its dance hall sound. It tears the house down every time it gets played. Years later, and it will still be thrilling.

 

2. ‘’My Pledge (Baby Oh)’’

– One of the best things about Quincy was his ability to shift from Afro-beats, to Colloqua, and R&B.

Before his death, speculations of the two stars being in a relationship took over the media after a behind the scene kissing photo leaked from their video shoot. Though it might have been rumors to make it a trending song, “My Pledge” became a great chapter in the Quincy B/Sweetz catalog.

1. ‘’Mr. All the Time’’

– Like a lot of Quincy songs, ‘’Mr. All the Time’’ came out of nowhere. One day the Liberians woke up, checked the internet, or turned on their radios and life was never the same.

As the chorus goes ‘’It’s hurting my head bah, eh turning my eye ball’’, Mr. All the Time (Quincy B) used the Ivory Coast–decaler coupe, and the Ivory beats along with words to give his Liberian audience a mixed genre dance hall. This song remains Liberians favorite Quincy B, and though his death left them with a bittersweet feeling, his music will live on.
