FAT TAPE – March 2012

Abe Beame is in a different world and you kind of look like Jasmine Guy. Download:  http://www.mediafire.com/?zg79d7f82wf3bz7  Hodgy Beats – “In a Dream” As most people observed when this dropped, Hodgy’s Untitled EP is a vision of what OF could’ve been if the internet didn’t ruin everything. To me, the projects harkens back to when… Continue reading »

Mixtape: Curren$y & Styles P – #The1st28

Did you know that Curren$y smokes weed? Apparently, so does Styles P. They both like money and sex too. With such esoteric interests, it was only natural that the Ghost and Spitta Andretti would join up to rap about their very rare preferences. There is a guest appearance from Daz and a Fela Kuti sample.… Continue reading »

Here Here: Curren$y’s Peerless Consistency

Jonah Bromwich is on standby to join the J.E.T.S. Here we go again. It’s early in the year and Curren$y is on his grind, releasing an EP as casually as you or I would decide to drop an extra twenty-five cents into the Salvation Army bucket. Here is typically excellent: beat selection on point with… Continue reading »

Mixtape: Curren$y – Verde Terrace

Like a powdered wigged man chopping cherry kush, Spitta doesn’t lie. His new tape has a song called “Hennessy Beach,” where Curren$y admits that he’s never sipped such high octane cognac. He’s more of an XO man. That’s the thing about the Jet Life pilot, he turns his realness into high art. It’s a stretch… Continue reading »

Not A Blogger Redux: A Weekend At Burnie’s Starring Curren$y & Vincent Chase

Doc Zeus is the new face of Avion Tequila. I like Curren$y and by extension his music, precisely because he seems like the kind of Trey Kerby-certified bro who likes arguing about sports and would enjoy watching aggressively stupid movies under the influence of stimulants. He spends time in his raps complaining about shitty officiating… Continue reading »

A Merry 4/20 From Spitta and Smoke DZA

The lava lamp glow that 4/20 once held has turned into my more monochromatic late 20s. I need neither my weed phosphorescent nor my celebrations elaborate. Don’t need to hit a Dragon or a Volcano or a gravity bong, or some other invention from a ingenious evil engineer.  I don’t need to skip work to… Continue reading »

I’m Trying to Make a Million Dollars, Fuck a Million Downloads

Skeptics questioned Freddie Gibbs’ decision to join Young Jeezy’s CTE imprint. They wondered why an established independent rapper with a modest but loyal fan base would link with a trap rapper who seemingly can’t get his album released. After all,  rappers aligning themselves with already established imprints hasn’t worked well in the past — see … Continue reading »

Curren$y — “The Winners Circle” mixtape

Curren$y crushing the “Rainy Dayz” beat and 10 others, including the “Moon and Stars Remix.” 9 out of 10 medical professionals recommend this mixtape, herbal vapors in biblical papers, and a large glass of tang to start your year off right/cure your hangover/fill your need for race cars and weed jars. Regardless, it’s better than… Continue reading »

Curren$y ft. Young Roddy & Trademark Da Skydiver – Hold On

Curren$y – “Hold On” Feat. Young Roddy and Trademark from Creative Control on Vimeo. The Jets Crew win fathers of the year with their anti-Dr. Spock approach to parenting — Boston terrier vs. Pitbull skirmishes and spliffs the size of Saturn. The longer Pilot Talk 2 simmers, the more convinced I become that it’s the… Continue reading »

The Curren$y Boom

Renato Pagnani likes it when people talk fast over 4/4 beats.  Over the last several years, frequent collaborators Curren$y and Wiz Khalifa have had reasonably similar career trajectories. Both excel at making sleepy stoner jams equally indebted to Lil Wayne and Devin the Dude. Both have seen massive success in 2010 after bubbling for several… Continue reading »
