Qasim Naqvi, (born November 11th 1991) also known by his stage name 'Qzer' is a rapper, producer, lyricist, blogger and an activist. Qzer started writing rap songs at the age of 11 and recorded his first experimental song at the age of 12. He started rapping about historical and modern day events under the rap name 'Karlim'. Due to studies and other obstacles, he did not pursue rapping till the age of 15. Living in Virginia, he describes the American hip hop culture rather more 'entertaining and well respected' as compared to the hip hop culture they had back in Pakistan. By the age of 16, Karlim had turned to Qzer, and his raps evolved from the 'boring stuff' to 'radio music'. Picking up influences from rappers such as Eminem, Jay Z, Biggie, D12 and other mainstream artists, Qzer wanted to rap about his life. Living that teenage life in States provided him more exposure to hip hop. Participating in freestyle sessions with his high school friends gave him an upper edge to sharpen his skills and bring in more creativity to his 'game'. Out of all elements in the rap game, concepts were Qzer's favorite way of expressing his thoughts.
