When it is said that I keep it real, it's an understatement.

If we're all saying that rap is an artform then we
gotta be More Responsible for our Lyrics. If you see everybody dying
because of what you're saying, it don't matter that you didn't make
them die, it just matters that you didn't save them

It Ain't Just The Size


"Hardie’s unflinching courage to open up and sustain dialogues on multicultural issues, as well as his persistent engagement with everything that is wrong with American society, certainly makes a lasting contribution to the struggle." - Push Nevahda Review

"With It Ain't Just The Size, MG Hardie's intentions shine as he presents the good, the bad and the down-right ugly aspects of life in the hood. Hardie seamlessly weaves various viewpoints and perspectives together and presents them perfectly from the minds of Lance's motley crew . "-Joey Pinkney

"definitely different than the 'norm' of today...as you can guess, I do a LOT of reading, and everything seems to be a lot the same, It ain't just the size was a refreshing change, and it makes you think long after you've finished the last page."
-Publisher, Editor  Leila Jefferson
