After getting his start in the early '90s with the group Coming of Age, the Compton-born crooner TQ (short for Terrance Quaites) dropped his first solo album—the Mike Mosley–produced They Never Saw Me Coming—in 1998 and scored a sizeable hit with "Westside." Half a dozen solid records followed, plus countless collaborations with everyone from RBL Posse and The Outlawz to Swizz Beatz and C-Bo. He was signed to Cash Money for a while and worked extensively with The Hot Boys and Big Tymers. Legendary is TQ's eighth album. It finds him still delivering his unique brand of streetwise R&B, singing about a life of crime on joints like "The Pusher" and the Curtis Mayfield–inspired "Bad Man" (featuring Mystikal), plus lustier jams like "Head." Slick beats abound, and rock-inspired guitars liven up several tracks. Don't miss the stuttering, futuristic opener, "No Better Love," with Gilly the Kid.
