Hard to Earn is the fourth studio album by American hip hop duo Gang Starr.

Guest appearances on the album include Group Home, Jeru the Damaja, and Big Shug.

At the time, all were part of the Gang Starr Foundation, which made the album a stepping-stone for future DJ Premier-helmed projects by Group Home and Jeru.

The track "Now You're Mine" originally appeared on the 1992 soundtrack White Men Can't Jump.

The single "Mass Appeal" appeared in the video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4.
