"Q Parker is a gifted vocalist and accomplished songwriter whose career I've been involved with since the 90's when his group 112 was signed to Bad Boy/Arista," noted Lionel Ridenour, director of Malaco Records' urban division. "I am very excited about the great partnership that we've formed between Q's NeWFAM Entertainment brand and Malaco Records," Ridenour added.

"It's an amazing feeling to have been in the music business since I was a teenager as part of a hugely successful group like 112, and to now be a grown man making a name for myself as a solo artist in the current R&B climate," remarked Q Parker. "Agreeing to a partnership with my NeWFAM Entertainment brand and Malaco Records felt right for me. Lionel Ridenour and Tommy Couch, Jr. of Malaco appreciate the direction of my music, and have shown they are committed to making my album 'THE MANual' a long-term success!" Parker added.
