MARQUISE T. FREEMAN, POPULARLY KNOWN AS QUISE FREEMAN (OR QUISE FREE) IS A CONSCIOUS-STREET RAPPER AND BUSINESS OWNER OUT OF WEST PHILADELPHIA (OVERBROOK H.S. ALUM) BORN JANUARY 31ST, WHO SYMBOLIZES SELF-CONFIDENCE, PERSEVERANCE AND BRINGS A MOTIVATIONAL FEEL GOOD ENERGY TO HIP-HOP. INSPIRED BY THE LIKES OF THE LATE NIPSEY HUSSLE, J.COLE AND THE LOX, QUISE BRINGS LYRICAL GEMS TO EVERY VERSE. WITH HIS VERSATILE FLOWS AND “SNEAKY” LYRICS QUISE GETS HIS MESSAGE TO THE MASSES ALL THE WHILE DELIVERING GRITTY, PURPOSEFUL HIP-HOP MUSIC MADE TO BE PLAYED AT HIGH VOLUME, TO MOTIVATE AND CULTIVATE. FROM HIS DAYS AS AN IMPOVERISHED YOUTH QUISE HAS ALWAYS HAD PASSIONATE ASPIRATIONS OF USING HIS VOICE TO IMPACT THE LIVES OF OTHERS. GROWING UP IN A HOUSEHOLD BEING THE YOUNGEST OF TYRONE & SONYA FREEMAN’S 3 SONS, QUISE WAS ALWAYS AHEAD OF HIS TIME WITH HIS MENTALITY TOWARDS LIFE AND THE THINGS THAT COME WITH IT. WITH HIS MOTHER SONYA; WHO PASSED IN 2020, SUFFERING FROM SARCOIDOSIS FOR 20 YEARS AND FATHER DOING HIS BEST TO PROVIDE FOR HIS FAMILY AND ATTEND TO HIS ILL WIFE, A LIFE FULL OF STRUGGLING TO GET BY IS ALL THAT QUISE KNOWS. IN 2017 QUISE STARTED HIS BRAND "TEAM GHOSTLY LLC." WITH THE MOTTO “MAKE YOUR PRESENCE FELT”. T.G.’S MISSION IS TO INSPIRE, MOTIVATE AND EDUCATE THROUGH MUSIC, APPAREL, THE BREAKING BREAD PODCAST AND EVENTS. TEAM GHOSTLY IS A REPRESENTATION OF HAVING CONFIDENCE IN WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU CAN DO REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN SEE IT. NO MATTER HOW BIG OR HOW SMALL WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING POSITIVE TO OFFER SOMEONE, EVEN IF IT’S JUST A LITTLE BIT OF MOTIVATION. GIVING CONSUMERS A SENSE OF VALUE AND PURPOSE. THE BREAKING BREAD PODCAST GIVES GUESTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS CURRENT EVENTS WITHIN THE WORLD AND OUR COMMUNITIES AND HOW THEIR INDIVIDUAL PURPOSE CAN GENERATE CHANGE. THAT’S WHERE IT STARTED FOR QUISE, USING HIS T.G. BRAND AS A PLATFORM OF SELF-CONFIDENCE, MOTIVATION AND POSITIVITY. QUISE BEING A FORMER MAIL CARRIER FOR THE POSTAL SERVICE LITERALLY EVERY MORNING WOULD POST AN INSTAGRAM VIDEO WHILE ON HIS ROUTE OR JUST IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD DELIVERING A NEW MOTIVATIONAL MESSAGE FOR THE DAY THAT SOMEONE SOMEWHERE WOULD NEED. THAT RESULTED INTO QUISE BEING ASKED TO COME TO SPEAK AT DIFFERENT SCHOOLS AND EVENTS. QUISE'S VOICE AND MESSAGES QUICKLY BECAME SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE WANTED TO HEAR. MARQUISE SERVED AS A MENTOR FOR THE A.T.T.R.A.C.T PHILLY PROGRAM “BORN TO LEAD,” A 10-WEEK PROGRAM FOCUSED ON THE SOCIAL AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT OF YOUNG MEN IN PHILADELPHIA. MARQUISE HAS SPOKEN AND APPEARED AT NUMEROUS EVENTS AND PROGRAMS INCLUDING ROWAN UNIVERSITY RADIO “THE AMERICAN DREAM,” REVIVE IS ALIVE PROOF OF CONSCIOUSNESS RADIO, THE NEWARK RENAISSANCE HOUSE, THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF GLOUCESTER COUNTY, FREIRE CHARTER SCHOOLS AND WOODBURY HIGH SCHOOL. MARQUISE ALSO LED A BACK-TO-SCHOOL COMMON UNITY DAY FOR STUDENTS IN WEST PHILADELPHIA AND HAS BEEN AWARDED A 2019 PURPLE HEART AWARD OF AMERICAN BUSINESS OWNERSHIP BY THE NATIONAL SOCIETY OF AMERICAN BUSINESS OWNERS. WITH A DESIRE TO BROADER HIS AUDIENCE AND MAKE HIS VOICE MORE IMPACTFUL, QUISE DECIDED TO TAP INTO SOMETHING THAT HE’S LOVED SINCE HE WAS A KID, MUSIC! KNOWING THE POWER OF MUSIC, HOW IMPACTFUL IT IS ON PEOPLE’S LIVES AND KNOWING SPECIFICALLY WHAT HIP-HOP AND RAPPERS MEAN TO THE CULTURE, QUISE FOUND HIS PERFECT OUTLET. MAY OF 2020, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC QUISE MADE HIS DEBUT AS A RAP ARTIST RELEASING HIS FIRST SINGLE “DREAM BIG” WHICH APPEARS ON HIS DEBUT ALBUM “THE CURE”. IN JUNE OF 2020, WHILE PREPARING HIS DEBUT ALBUM QUISE EXPERIENCED UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES AS HIS MOTHER ABRUPTLY PASSED AWAY BRINGING HIM TO A SCREECHING HALT. ALWAYS INSPIRING AND PROMOTING PERSEVERANCE QUISE DID JUST THAT AS THE CURE WAS RELEASED ON JULY 31ST 2020. A PROJECT THAT CAME FROM THE PERFECT PERSON AT THE PERFECT TIME THAT HIGHLIGHTED NOT ONLY WHAT HE WAS GOING THROUGH BUT WHAT THE ENTIRE WORLD WAS GOING THROUGH. QUISE DELIVERED A HEARTFELT MOTIVATIONAL MASTERPIECE. A CURE INDEED. TO FOLLOW UP HIS DEBUT PROJECT, AS AN HONOR TO HIS MOTHER FOR GIVING BIRTH TO HIM, QUISE RELEASED A E.P.
