Hart (album)

Hart is the fourth album by Dutch language rapper Brainpower. It was released April 21, 2008 on Lyric Recordings, together with his fifth album Hard and contains the single "Eigen Werk"...

 (Heart) and contains the single "Boks Ouwe". Hard and Hart are two albums sold together, where Hard represents the raw hip hop side of Brainpower, which is expressed in both beats and lyrics.

The notion/word 'Hard' ('Hard') is being approached from different angles. Guest appearances include Dicecream, T-Slash, The Partysquad and rap-sensation Sjaak.
