It’s crazy that this is the 5th Wiz Khalifa release I’ve heard this year and the wild ups and downs that have come in that time. But this is easily Wiz’s best release of the year and might even be Curren$ys so far also. I really enjoyed Disc 1, but without a doubt Roofless Records For Drop Tops: Disc 2 leveled everything up.
.
A lot of the little issues I had with Roofless Records For Drop Tops: Disc 1 felt ironed out here. Less Wiz hooks, replaced by some Curren$y hooks and sometimes no hooks at all, which worked really well. It fit in with the heavenly Harry Fraud production, nothing here felt forced which is what the beats needed. This album is like a Raw joint, all natural. Pink Panther was a great first track, a slow calm beat that let Spitta get the intro off before Wiz took over. Passing verses back and forth like Harlem Globetrotters in the court. The Coin Toss brings a beat that could have lost me but when the beat drops and Curren$y starts with “These Harry Fraud beats we don’t skip through these, we wreck em all”, the fuse is lit. An undeniable Jet Life/Taylor Gang hit.
.
Not to focus too much on Curren$y, I gotta give Wiz Khalifa his flowers. I’ve had some reviews for Wiz this year that were hard on him, but everything he did here was exactly what I want. His flows and raps are great, his content feels authentic and mature plus he held back on the melodic parts. He’s a big brand already and I know he’s talking streaming but you gotta respect him with lines like “Tryna keep my streams up, workin’ to get my brand big”. Still in that grind mindset even as big as Wiz is. This album is only 20 minutes and flys by with its skipless tracklist. Some of my favorite songs were The Coin Toss, Champagne Bottle Emotes, Smoke N’ Pray, Storm Shadow & Snake Eyes and z28.
.
This is arguably my favorite Wiz Khalifa & Curren$y collab project. Which is saying a lot. But for me and my tastes this might match up better than any previous releases, I’ll have to look back. But regardless we have what I think will go down as another classic in these two MCs discography.
You a dummy if you don’t know this or love it.
Who’s your guys favourite lifestyle rappers of all time? Mainly based off consistency in discography.
Jigga was talkin that player shit.
South Jersey artist Sean Roane brings laid back player vibes on “Chill City,” blending smooth talk, real life perspective, and west coast influenced production.
Any recommendations? I consistently listen to Larry, Payroll, Nip etc.. looking to discover and dive into more catalogs this weekend. Curious what recommendations you guys may have.
“You Wildin” mixes laid back production with a concept a lot of people can relate to 😭
