With tears in my ears, sorrow in my heart, It’s just too difficult to believe that four years ago today, Liberia lost a legend. Our rising star, who was putting Liberia music on the map died in a ghastly motor accident along the Sinkor-Monrovia road. Quincy B passed away on March and the amount of sorrow that is going throughout the music industry today, can’t be compared to the one felt when he died on that Thursday morning.
Quincy B whose real name is Quincy L. Burrowes rose to industry prominence after the release of his first single titled “My Dream” featuring legendary rapper Scientific.
He started off his musical career as a singer but later switched to audio production. His talent was brought to light by Heart Beat Record CEO Infectious Michael. But later in his career he joined Lewiz McCarthy at ALM Record, where he recorded several of his popular and hit songs.
He came into the spotlight in 2014 after releasing his first single with Scientific which gave him popularity and he gained prominence and he huge fan base in Liberia.
He released couple of good songs which took over several top Liberian music chats and even up to present they are still fans favorite at various joints, clubs, hoods and community corners. Some of his most popular songs are “Tumba Baba” “Crazy” “Olukupay” “Pledge ft Sweets” “Put Liberia First” “Mr. All The Time” “Check and Balance” etc…
How It Happened:
Later in 2016, he became the brand ambassador of Lonestar Cell MTN, just prior to his death in 2017.
On March 3rd, his last day, Quincy B went out with some other musicians including Feouls, and Margas and CIC they all decided to chill at Angler’s Bar, not knowing that that night and chilling was going to be Quincy’s last.
Around 2:30am, He (Quincy B) was driving home with his friends when he lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the walls of the fence surrounding the One United Nation Building on 1st Street Sinkor. He was pronounced dead; after being rushed to the JFK medical center to receive medical attention, while his friends sustain some major and minor injuries. CIC leg got broken and Margas and Feouls got some body injuries.
Fans and community dealers on the scene quickly contacted His parents and major entertainment stakeholders immediately. At around 5am the news of his death was already circulating on the internet.
Till now his parents, fans, friends, loved ones, and children still miss the presence of QB in the industry. He was a legend to uphold. He was paving the way for the music industry.
RIP Quincy L. Burrowes (Quincy B)
We love you 🥰 QB
Sleep On Till We meet Again!
