SAN QUINN & TUF LUV - A HUSTLER'S HOPE

SAN QUINN & TUF LUV

A HUSTLER'S HOPE

2011

1. Created A Monster

Hard beat with tight verses from both Quinn & Tuf

that make up for the lackluster hook. All in all it's

a nice track but lasting appeal is questionable. 4/5

2. Taliban Suicide

Not sure about this one. It's not bad but I would'nt

pick this song as a must-listen off the album plus

the kids chant throughout is annoying kinda. 3.5/5

3. Like me

First video of the alb, and it's a typical uplifting beat

with sone tight verses from both. 4/5

4. Rap Superstar

This is where the album truly starts and has found 

it's niche. Laidback beat with a smooth soulful hook.

What more do you want. And Tuf kills it. 4.5/5

5. Passion

More of the same. Tight hook/verse from Quinn 5/5

6. Guess Who

Uptempo club-type banga. Similar to 'Like Me' but

with less of a lasting punch. Not bad. 4/5

7. A Hustla's Hope ft. Big Rich

First great track with a nice feature from Big Rich. 5/5

8. On My G ft. Pep Love

Interesting beat and hook. The verses are tight. 5/5

9. Tryna Get Paid ft. TayDaTay

Favourite track of the album. This one is just killer.

The beat, hook, the verses, the flows...everything 5/5

10. Foolin Around

Awesome sample and great way of making it into a

track. Tuf's verse is just real. Love the beat's vibe. 5/5

11. Drunk In San Fransisco ft. B-Legit

First up big ups for B-Legit on here! Second,

i don't know how this sample works with the beat,

but somehow it does and it's crazy. Awesome! 5/5

12. Blade Runner

Very nice track to end the album. The beat is sick

and Quinn's hook is pretty dope, The verses from

Tuf and Quinn take it to another level. 5/5

Though somewhat short (2-3 more tracks maybe?)

this album does deliver and the combination of

San Quinn and Tuf Luv works extremely well.

Quinn has had a lot of collabo albs, but this one

is definitely up there as one of his better ones.

(nothing like his collabo with Messy Marv though)

The whole feel of the album is pretty mellow apart

from the two uptempo joints, but thats what i love here.

The raps shine through. Straight up street shit. 

Overall Score: 9.4/10
