"Playa Hatin' 101" features guest appearances by some of today's hottest entertainers, such as, Too-Short, E-40, Scarface, B-Legit, Nonchalant ("NON"), Edley Shine formally of "Born Jamericans" & CoSign. A highlight not to be missed is "Making Love or We Can F**K" on where Big Lew touches on an issue that we can all relate to when it comes to relationships…sometimes we want to make love to our partner(s), but sometimes it's like we just want to hit it and quit it. It's a song about honest feelings with an R&B twist. Another party banging track is "F**K It" part 1 featuring Col-Beast Music's MC "Cosign" the title, says it all. "T & A" is a song tailor-made for the strip-clubs. It gives you the perspective from what some males will do and how far they are willing to go just for the pu**y. "Playa Hatin' 101" the title track talks about where the root of a hater begins and how it can evolve as a family tradition. It starts with the tradition of being born, getting married, having kids and so on…

"Playa Hatin' 101" is jam packed with different types of songs, some party/club bangers and others that make you sit-back and think of our everyday actions and how people can hate on one another…Just because. The album was written and produced in its entirety by Big Lew, except for " Soldiers" which was produced by Tone Capone. This album captures the different sides of me that not many people get to see, meaning it talks about I, the street ni**a that went to college, but I was also a college ni**a that went to the streets. This situation allowed me to live the best of both games, (the hustle). The first single to be released from "Playa Hatin' 101" is the club banger "How We Do", featuring Nonchalant. "How We Do," focuses on the reality of people being able to do things their way, despite of what others may say…. If you like a big figured woman; fine. If you like a skinny shaped woman; fine, but don't hate on me, because I preferred otherwise. Bottom line, I chose to do it my way, not your way…this is "How We Do".
