“May God be with us, never saw this being apart of our journey (sic),” the rapper stated.
In addition, mix engineer Alex Tumay described the artist as “one of the greatest songwriters of an era”.
“One of the nicest people I’ve worked with. A truly bright spirit in every session,” he recalled. “Watching (Young) Thug and Quan go back and forth on so many records in the rich gang era is quite literally my favorite memory of my career. In fact, I was just speaking on those memories yesterday. I’m absolutely heartbroken by the news. RIP Quan. Listen to Up Up and Away all day.”
Quan found success following the release of his 2013 single Type of Way and 2015’s Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh). Alongside Young Thug, he was a member of Cash Money Records’ Rich Gang.
