Sick and Tired, the highly anticipated debut solo album from Big Fiq is definitely âoff the beaten trackâ in regards to where current hip hop is today. The album is purely Fiq with limited distractions i.e. cameoâs or guests appearances. The album leaves behind the gaudiness of todayâs hip hop and machismo, but focuses on realness that true hip hop fans can bob their heads to.

Sick and Tired is no doubt a thematic journey; covering themes of struggle, hope, despair, and redemption with a lyrical content that is hard-hitting and a delivery that is controlled and modest. On âThe Wake upâ, Fiq immediately sets the stage for his purpose, âthe industry needs a wake up/the game needs a shakeup/ âcause half of these cats aint hot/I gotta keep it real for the streets bringing life to the beats/on my mission tryna make it to the topâ.

âLuv Meâ proves the album is not lacking in production. Producer, Wax, laced this track with a mesmerizing beat and catchy sample that keeps âmaking your head bop till your neck bone popâ. The song also features a guest appearance from Bostonâs own Peazy.

âSick and Tiredâ offers plenty of meat in 10 tracks â from opening up to the fact that his daughter doesnât share his last name in âSick and Tiredâ, to fighting for survival on the Philly streets in the âCity of Godâ, and reminiscing over the deaths of loved ones in âMissing Youâ. But it all culminates in the last track, âMy Own Equalâ which is a powerful message of overcoming obstacles, finding your passion, looking to the future, and claiming your greatness.
