In 1999, three young friends - Big Qweezy, Sho & L.U.V. - started a rap group named Black Reign at TMH Studios in Virginia Beach. The trio then formed QSL Entertainment as a production company with aspirations of one day becoming a label. Our first release in 2000 was Black Reign’s debut CD, DOWNPOUR, led to BR’s first radio spins for the song “Dope Hits”. We gained popularity performing up and down the east coast from NYC to FL, and frequently at home in the Hampton Roads of Southern VA. Qweezy and Sho would later move out of the state, but we've continued to create as a group, as individuals, and with other artists. We've built a considerable catalog over close to three decades and have scored placements in multiple films in recent years. Technology has provided us with ways to continue to create together that we only imagined when we first started this journey. In 2021, we decided to become the label and began releasing music and videos. We added “QSL” to the end of the group’s name to draw distinction from other artists. 

A lot of our music is reminiscent of the 90s era of hip hop and r&b, though we are not afraid to spread our wings and fly out of our usual comfort zones. We are lovers of music, drawn together in our common passions to explore, create, share and leave behind music for generations to follow. Expect bouncy grooves, catchy hooks, a bit of nostalgia and even a laugh or two. 

To date, we have released 10 full albums and over 60 singles. Our 10th album release was the L.U.V. solo project, “L.U.V. Potion 3.16”, following the release of VickyVal's self-titled debut LP. QSL is the first label to originate in VA & win a Blendzville Award.

In the past year, we’ve placed songs in the film “Skeletons In The Closet” starring Terrence Howard & Cuba Gooding Jr., coming to nationwide theaters Feb 9th 2024, All Blk Network’s “Deadly Desire” starring Erica Peeples, and indie features “Mercy”, "One Night in LA"  and “Angie’s Cure”. 

In 2023, L.U.V. started a live music review show on Tik Tok which has quickly grown in popularity, further expanding our network of artists and producers. 

In January of 2024, we created QSLRadioFM, a station which plays independent music exclusively 24/7. We followed up the launch of the station with the introduction of our website QSLent.com, which has blossomed into this. 

Qweezy is a founding member and 1/3 of Young, Fly & Dangerous with O Redd & Majest. Sho is 1/2 of the God-Hop duo, THEORIA, with his wife, VickyVal, and 1/2 of Erb’n Telepathy with legendary VA Producer Joe City. L.U.V. has collaborated and released music with a multitude of artists over the years, including Haze Banks, Taurean Cooke, Dahavknotz, T-Rifik & Solo Muzik.
