Some of the best hip-hop songs of all time are those that tell a good story (see Children’s Story, Brenda’s Got a Baby, and Runaway Love).  Knowing what works, longtime industry-shenanigan victim Ali Vegas has gathered up two fellow Northeast emcees for an anthology of tales focused on why It’s So Hard in the streets.  While Ali shares the story of a young man who barely makes ends meet at his McDonald’s job, AZ talks about a young woman whose dream is to become a baller, and Styles P. details a man’s struggle to stay away from the street life after being released from prison.  Brought together by a hook from Danny McClane and classical production from producer L.E.S., It’s So Hard is a rarified gem in today’s musical landscape.  Vegas’ Generation Gap 2: The Prequel mixtape is available now at select stores and online retailers.

Ali Vegas & L.E.S. -where have they been??? Well Mr. McClane does a nice job on tha hook. Other than that Styles is the highlight on tha 3rd verse. L.E.S. provides a smooth beat...overall its just aiiight...

Well, it okay. The rapping is why I'm giving it a 2. The beat was hella annoying.

Agree with WOW:), the rappin is good and also the hook but the beat is kinda boring. It's not bad but a lil too slow for my tastes...I like more energetic tracks!

I dont understand the low ratings. This song was sick, had so much real life in it compared to most of the crap you here now. The production was good as well

Wow, this track is so nice. Styles P is one of the most underrated rappers IMO, and Ali and AZ are always dope. The beat is dope to, on some real classic NY type @*#$! that the rap game needs IMO. This is a classic.

Any artist who wants to learn how to do a better job of storytelling in their music, take a listen to this song.

All three verses are solid; Ali shines the brightest.

Battle rap and bragging is easy compared to storytelling. This all 3 verses were amazing.
