ALBUM Explicit

After "Westside," his infectious ode to the West Coast, catapulted him into the spotlight, TQ released his debut THEY NEVER SAW ME COMING, in hopes of cementing his status as one of the up-and-coming faces in the hip-hop game. The eighteen-track album demonstrates that this cat from the west is definitely no one-hit wonder. His voice combines with the beats to take the listener on a smooth and relaxing ride. Of particular note are the collaborations with Erica Vancey ("When I Get Out") and Daz Dillinger and Kurupt ("The Comeback"), sure to convince listeners that TQ is one of the promising and refreshing artists to enter the crowded late-'90s West Coast hip-hop scene.
