Hard (Hard) is the fifth album by Dutch language rapper Brainpower. It was released April 21, 2008 on Lyric Recordings, together with his fourth album Hart (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.
Hip Hop veteran Brainpower separates his more melodious material from his famous 'braggin' & boast' side.
'Hard' represents the harder side of Hip Hop. From traditional MC-ing and battle raps on raw beats to club bangers in all sorts and forms. The notion/word 'Hard' ('Hard') is being approached from different angles. Guest appearances include Dicecream, T-Slash, The Partysquad and rap-sensation Sjaak.
