DJ Rhettmatic's credentials in this music go back to the mid-'80s – he is a co-founder of the Beat Junkies, a two-time ITF Team World Champion (1997/1998), a DMC West Coast Champion, and the DJ and production backbone of the Visionaries. "Fire Vision" is the second single from "The QR Code," his forthcoming collaborative album with Q-Unique, where Rhettmatic handles all production and cuts and Q-Unique supplies the verses. The track features fellow Visionaries MC LMNO, which gives the pairing an internal coherence – both artists have a long shared history within the West Coast underground ecosystem. The album title itself carries a double meaning the duo has articulated: QR as in Q-Unique and Rhettmatic, but also as a code – a set of principles around pure intent and authenticity in hip-hop that both artists describe as central to their practice.
