TQ – Westside Part II / Westside Part III (Promo VLS) (1998) (FLAC + 320 kbps)

Influenced by the West Coast hip-hop of 2Pac and Ice-T, and the classic soul of Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin, Terence Quaites, aka TQ, scored a string of hit singles in the late 90’s with a sound self-described as ‘reality R&B’. Born in Compton, CA in 1976, he began his musical career in his teens as one fourth of B-Boy group Coming of Age, who reached the Billboard Top 30 with debut single “Coming Home To Love”, before disbanding in 1995.

Three years later, he returned to the music scene as a solo artist, armed with a sound that combined tough lyrics with melodic, soulful vocals, and achieved huge success in the US and Europe with the tracks “Westside” and “Bye Bye Baby”, and their parent album “They Never Saw Me Coming”. Future LPs, “The Second Coming” (2000) and “Listen” (2004) saw diminishing returns, but TQ continued to record material throughout the decade, with “Gemini” (2007), “Paradise” (2008), and “Kind Of Blue” (2010).
