Synopsis

TQ's "The Comeback" follows a wounded man recovering at his mother's home after a shooting leaves his pregnant girlfriend and unborn children dead. Still limping from his injuries, he becomes consumed by revenge and tracks the shooter back to his own neighborhood. The confrontation ends in another burst of violence, but the aftermath forces him to confront the possibility that an innocent child may have been caught in the crossfire. Kurupt and Daz Dillinger contribute to the song's hard-edged West Coast perspective.
