Quan’s dad also revealed that the artist had several records stashed away in the vault.
“Quan has probably over 2,000 unreleased songs,” Lamar stated. “But once he gets in a mode to record those songs become old to him. And when they become old he wants to focus on the new stuff.”
“He has a catalog in the vault. He has a ton of music that the fans need to hear,” he continued.
