I got done working later in the evening the other night, and I wanted to hear a particular song, but I didn’t feel like digging through my music, so I went over to You Tube and listened to it while watching the video, and then I saw related videos in the side bar and I went to one of them, and on and on, and I spent a few hours that way.

He got to thinking that he would like to work with an old school R & B artist, and he heard that Al Green was looking to work with some people from the hip hop community. The two got together, Questo put together a band, and the album “Lay It Down” was born. Check it:
