The problem is, Go Hard's constantly unsure if it wants to top the charts of its own accord, dominate Radio 1 with big-name collaborations or avoid getting friendly with the mainstream at all, and so flits between the three hoping no one will notice.

Go Hard is worth a listen, if only to laugh at all the bravado.

This album works best when it does what it implores and makes its beats go four to the floor: a heavy take on Salt-n-Pepa's Push It is among the best things here. But this is a record let down by odd decisions, chief among them being an awful slowed-down vocal effect that acts as its recurring motif.
