    Ep 27 - Drake - Nothing Was The Same (10 Year Anniversary)

    "Give it time, we'll see who's still around a decade from now" - Aubrey Drake Graham

    A decade later I don't think there's any denying Drake's massive impact and staying power in music. For the latest episode of #Hard2Earn Torae & Bonsu get into Drake's 3rd album NOTHING WAS THE SAME. With so many questioning what is Drake's "classic" album, if any, let's get into this project and see if it's stands the test of time & if this could in fact be the one.

    Ep 25 - Noreaga - N.O.R.E. (25 Year Anniversary)

    Ep 25 - Noreaga - N.O.R.E. (25 Year Anniversary)

    With the success of their debut album THE WAR REPORT Capone-N-Noreaga had the hip-hop world on notice and the anticipation for their follow up LP was high. There was only one problem, Capone was locked up and he would be for a while. Instead of letting that momentum go to waste Noreaga took matters into his own hands & enlisted some of the hottest artist in the game to come along for the ride on his solo album N.O.R.E. The result was a 13 track project with certified bangers, tap in with the latest episode of #Hard2Earn as Torae and Bonsu revisit Nore's freshman effort. Press play and have a drink, champ.

ALCON,
If you want a true unbiased account of an album, tap in to “Hard 2 Earn”. The reviews are thoughtful and honest, with the dare to offend because we know like Ms. Badu said “I’m an artist and I’m sensitive about my Ish” the Brothas Torae & Bonsu deliver and give a entertaining but real assessment!
So tap in and enjoy!
#Hard2Earn!
