Guest Artists on Ground Beef Platter Vol.3
QNC (Q-ball & Curt Cazal.

QNC (Q-Ball & Curt Cazal) is a Long Island, New York hip-hop duo active since the early 1990s. Rooted in jazz-inflected sampling and understated lyricism, their work reflects a period when independent hip-hop prioritized feel, musicality, and craft over spectacle. Curt Cazal’s background with JVC Force and Q-Ball’s calm, measured delivery form the backbone of a sound that remains both relaxed and deliberate.

QNC became widely known through releases such as The Habit of a Lifetime (And How to Kick It) and their collaborations with producer Aim on Grand Central Records, earning a lasting place in the international underground. Alongside the duo’s work, Curt Cazal has collaborated with artists including M.O.P., Boot Camp Clik, Craig G, and Jaz-O, further anchoring QNC within the broader East Coast lineage.

Q-Ball and Curt Cazal now appear on Ground Beef Platter Vol. 3, the latest release from Ground Beef Records, with a new track produced by Propo’88 — a meeting point between Long Island hip-hop history and contemporary boom-bap aesthetics.
