Quentin Miller’s name is often reduced to a footnote in Hip Hop history — the “ghostwriter” at the center of Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late controversy. It’s a narrative that has always been unfairly limiting. Long before and after that moment, Miller was carving out his own lane as a songwriter, collaborator, and artist with a distinct ear for melody and storytelling. His catalog proves he was never just a behind-the-scenes pen; he’s a voice that can command the mic, shape the sound of a crew, and bring out the best in those around him. And even the tragic loss of a limb hasn’t stopped his forward progression.
This list highlights 11 tracks that showcase Miller’s true range, from solo cuts that reveal his reflective side to collaborations with heavyweights like Hit-Boy, Gucci Mane, and DJ Drama. Together, they paint a portrait of an artist who deserved to be recognized for far more than whispered credits and controversy. These songs remind us that Quentin Miller isn’t just someone who helped shape moments in other people’s careers; he’s been building a legacy of his own.
