| MobbDeen: Wiz Khalifa & Curren$y, Live and in Concert | April 22, 2013 |
Deen’s original draft was written in psychedelic fonts. So the long-awaited sequel to How Fly is finally here. And it’s more or less what you’d expect: a pleasant, competent and occasionally excellent collection of songs about the lifestyles they lead. If I have to spell out what these two are rapping about in this space […]
| MobbDeen: You Choo-Choo Choose Me: Curren$y’s Rolodex Rap Single w/ Wiz Khalifa, Ricky Rawse & Lex Luger | January 31, 2013 |
Deen’s from Houston, you know how he’s coming. I’m fairly certain that February 3rd’s, New Jet City, is yet another Currensy freebie (intended to commemorate N’awlins hosting the Super Bowl), so I’m left wondering how and why the man decided to let this one go for free. Look at the star power on this shit! […]

| Curren$y is Priest Andretti | November 2, 2012 |
Max Bell is Bishop Fittipaldi. Muscle Car Chronicles, The Stoned Immaculate, Cigarette Boats. Spitta Andretti has been on his Max Julien in 2012. And now, as Priest Andretti, Curren$y, a.k.a. The Stoned Cinephile (residuals), has cast himself as himself in his second best offering this year. While Cigarette Boats is Curren$y’s best tape this year […]
| Go Crazy? Don’t Mind if I Do: Newly Minted Curren$y | October 1, 2012 |
For all we know, this new track from Mario Andretti’s most stoned son could be a new single, an old cast-off, or a blunted session that occurred last night in the laboratory. What we do know is that this is another modest gem from the man who spends his money on expensive cars, smoke and […]
| MobbDeen: Trademark Da Skydiver – Anxious… | August 6, 2012 |
You say no to ratchets, MobbDeen can’t. This isn’t the best song on Trademark’s latest mixtape, Flamingo Barnes, but it’s the perfect excuse for me to let y’all in on a rap bloggist secret: writing about Bob James’ “Nautilus” is always a good and convenient starting point for a post. I shouldn’t have written that, […]
Se Llamo es Max Bell. La música de Harry Fraud es bueno. Pero la música de Harry Fraud con Curren$y es fantástico. Juntos, ellos nos dan Los Barcos de Cigarrillos. Lo siento. That’s what three years of high school Spanish and Google translate will do for you. Cigarette Boats is Miami Vice. It’s the gangster […]
