Quen, “Girl Of My Dreams”

by | May 13, 2013

I have come across some rather peculiar clips since I’ve been covering RVA hip hop videos, but this one (which is not actually from RVA) is one of the most eccentric that has caught my attention. This comes from a rapper out of California who goes by Quen.

I have come across some rather peculiar clips since I’ve been covering RVA hip hop videos, but this one (which is not actually from RVA) is one of the most eccentric that has caught my attention. This comes from a rapper out of California who goes by Quen. This song could have several meanings to it, though to the broad mind it may mean only one. The video starts off with Quen waking up in an open field to what seems to be a dream and sees a beautiful redhead girl. You might think that it’s about nothing more than that, but the funny thing about this song is that in my eyes, it seems to be about political injustice in America and government. Like I said, though, another person may come up with another conclusion. Feel free to draw your own. This video was shot by Jon Primo, an independent videographer in Elk Hill, California. Catch Quen on his upcoming EP I.Q., dropping later this month. Check out his older work on bandcamp, and keep up with him on facebook to find out when the new EP drops.
