Compton crooner TQ is gearing up to open a new chapter in career since making a run with Cash Money Records in the early 2000s.
Today, the R&B vet is independent and headed back to the Westside in the new video for his single, "Coming Home." It's a homecoming that represents the sonic core of his upcoming project of the same name.
"'Coming Home' is a bridge musically between where I've been and where I wanna go," said TQ. "The funk inspiration is definitely West Coast and the lyric and melody comes from the soul, which is where I started."
The distinctly West Coast vibe of "Coming Home" finds TQ expanding his zone while staying in his pocket. Watch the premiere of "Coming Home" below to see TQ play the part of a man who just got out of jail amid rumors his girls is cheating.
ABOUT TQ:
With hit singles “Westside” and “Better Days,” Compton crooner TQ established himself as an R&B singer with a rapper’s musical sensibility. Subsequent work with Lil Wayne, Juvenile, Baby and the Cash Money Records roster solidified TQ as a creative force who carved a lane for himself amongst his A-List collaborators.
With acclaimed They Never Saw Me Coming LP, his lead single “Westside” catapulted TQ to international fame. In addition to being a Top 15 hit in the United States, it was a Top 10 single in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia and New Zealand. Subsequent singles “Bye Bye Baby” and “Better Days” helped pave the way for TQ to sign with Cash Money Records.
While with the New Orleans-based label, he wrote and was featured on a string of gold and platinum albums, including Big Tymers’ Hood Rich, Lil Wayne’s 500 Degreez, the Baller Blockin’ soundtrack; Birdman’s Baby aka #1 Stunna, Juvenile’s Project English and Hot Boys’ Let ‘Em Burn, among others.
Today, the R&B veteran has established himself independently and has made time to get back to making meaningful music. TQ has cooked up a lot of exciting new projects, including his new application iTQ, the Legendary 2.0 EP, the Coming Home LP, a relaunched TheRealTQ.com website, a revamped live show with fresh new songs and visual components, and many others to be announced soon.
