With all this backpacker rap I been posting lately, I thought it was high time for you to show you my BAD side. First off, I'd like to introduce you to my man Curren$y. A New Orleans dude whose accent you can spot 15 tracks away. One thing about this rapper can be said, he's not lazy. He's dropped a mixtape a month for the past 7 months, and his last one, appropriately titled "Fin..." is certified white girl. I can easily say that Curren$y is one of my main mixtape dealers and his product is consistent. His wordplay has strong east coast influence but with a southern comfort ease about it that makes him appealing to hip hop hippies like myself.
Formely of Lil Wayne's Young Money record label, this MC is currently riding dolo with hopes that these major finally start paying attention. And I don't know why they wouldn't. Curren$y's ability to make songs about things we've heard before, sound like its the first time makes me wish I was a virgin again. Not to mention the fact that when he rhymes over classics like Camp Lo's "Cooley High" or Nas's "The World is Yours" I can't help but go back in my mind on some "I remember where I was when I first heard this" shit (Riding around with my brother in the summer in the baby blue Volvo, fyi)
I couldn't possibly post all of Curren$y's mixtape (it'd help if I knew how) but here's a list, I'll let you fiends fend for yourself.
