Established in 2009, Brooklyn transplants Quincy Vidal have drawn notable comparisons to Digable Planets and A Tribe Called Quest. Those are big shoes to fill, and yet their debut project The Cookin' In Brooklyn have placed them at the top of new acts to look out for. Blending a feel of nostalgia with jazz influences, QV is duo you don't want to miss out on.
