It goes without saying that what will draw most people to the album is “Addictive”, a track that still gets heavy rotation featuring one of the most hypnotic and truly addictive beats in quite some time. The fat booty basslines of “Grown” will instantly get that head nodding as Truth speaks on being treated like a grown woman and doing what she pleases, while the Mel-Man produced “Tired” joins solid production with the tale of what Truth is going through. Meanwhile, star producers Dr. Dre and Timbaland also have some show-stealing moments with each “Hollywood” and “Real”, respectively.

With a diverse yet controlled environment of producers (Dr. Dre, DJ Quik, Timbaland, Organized Noize, and Hi-Tek), the songstress Truth Hurts brings a perfect combination of sexuality, sorrows and upliftment to make a well-balanced and enjoyable project.
