                        Thursday, April 23, 2015

  Mr. BISHOP of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Quincy 
Brown, an outstanding actor, producer, photographer, director, singer, 
model, philanthropist, and co-founder of FourXample Productions. Quincy 
will be honored at the premiere of his new movie, Brotherly Love, on 
Friday, April 24, 2015 at Carmike Hollywood Connections Ritz 13 in 
Columbus, Georgia.
  The son of actress and model, Kim Porter, and New Jack Swing singer, 
Al B. Sure, and the stepson of singer and producer, Sean ``Diddy'' 
Combs, Quincy grew up in Columbus, Georgia and was educated in the 
Muscogee County School District. He is the grandson of the late Sarah 
Porter and great-grandson of Ms. Lila Star, the owner of the renowned 
Royal Cafe in Columbus.
  Notwithstanding his lineage, Quincy has made a name for himself in 
the entertainment industry. At just 23 years of age, Quincy is a mini-
mogul himself. In 2012, Quincy released his debut single, ``Stay 
Awhile,'' featuring Kendre. In 2013, he followed up with another 
single, ``The First Thing,'' which he co-wrote. Now Quincy is both 
behind and in front of the camera with his FourXample Production crew, 
recently wrapping up his directorial debut of singer Elle Winter's 
music video, ``No Words,'' which features Quincy's brother, Christian 
Combs.
  Moreover, Quincy just premiered his new single, ``Friends First,'' 
featuring rapper French Montana. The single has already hit number 1 on 
the Billboard ``Trending Social'' chart. Quincy's new album, 1948, is 
slated for release this year.
  Even at his young age, Quincy recognizes the importance of giving 
back to the community. He coordinated the first annual Celebrity 
Kickball Charity Event and the First Annual Celebrity Flag Football 
Charity Event with singer Chris Brown, which brought together a host of 
entertainers and celebrities. Quincy has given much to his charity of 
choice, Best Buddies, an organization dedicated to creating employment 
opportunities and leadership development for individuals with 
intellectual and developmental disabilities.
  At 23, Quincy has already lived more than many people two or three 
times his age. He

pursues each and every idea and passion, striving to connect with 
people from all walks of life and seeking to live life to the very 
fullest. Yet, as he achieves stardom, he never forgets the people, 
places, or comforts of his home--Columbus, Georgia.
  Mr. Speaker, I have long said that in our area of Middle and 
Southwest Georgia, we have some of the best, the brightest, the most 
creative, and the most talented young people anywhere in the world. And 
Quincy Brown proves that beyond the shadow of a doubt! His industrious 
perseverance and steadfast commitment to his goals set a magnificent 
example for the young men and women who look up to him as a role model. 
We are sure to see even more great things from Quincy Brown in the 
future.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me, my wife Vivian, and the 
more than 730,000 residents of Georgia's Second Congressional District 
in recognizing Quincy Brown for his remarkable accomplishments as an 
entertainer and for his generous heart and humble spirit as a 
philanthropist.
