In the coming months, Quality Control and XSET will embark on several significant initiatives, including the creation of various forms of content, including long form, short form, and recurring series. In addition, the two companies will work together on high-profile music collaborations, joint recruitment and management of new gaming talent, integration of existing QC talent into the XSET roster, activation of exclusive music, gaming and lifestyle events, exciting merchandise collaborations, music related licensing deals with gaming publishers, and much more.

Since it burst onto the music scene in 2013, Atlanta-based Quality Control Music — better known as QC — has dominated the hip hop music space, while moving beyond the borders of genre or country into the realm of the global. Founded by industry veterans Kevin “Coach K” Lee and Pierre “Pee” Thomas, QC’s unique and proprietary star-making formula has launched the careers of such hip-hop luminaries as Lil Baby, Migos, Lil Yachty, City Girls, and Cardi B, to name but a few. QC now takes their proven expertise to the explosive pop gaming space with this exclusive partnership and investment into XSET, kicking off with the premiere of a short film featuring Atlanta native and pro Fortnite player Ashton “Astonish” Harris, who is joining QC Sports and XSET’s roster as a content creator and competitive gamer.

This relationship crystallizes our existing synergies, and synthesizes a brand new creative and artistic medium.”

“I’m extremely excited to work more closely with my brilliant and longtime friend Kevin Lee,” added Clinton Sparks, Chief Business Development Officer and co-founder of XSET. “The brains behind QC and XSET have been responsible for shaping and shifting culture for over 15 years, and have had a significant impact on building successful talent, businesses, brands, and blueprints for others to follow.

“We are passionate to help inner city kids to learn about gaming and other options for them in using their time now and careers in the future,” says QC founder and CEO Kevin “Coach K” Lee. “It’s about aligning the QC brand that we’ve built in rap with XSET in gaming to create movements for their future in gaming, to go from geeky to cool and open up that industry to black and brown communities.”
