Been hyped in anticipation on this one for ever now and it did not disappoint. Was starting to get a lil worried with the preorder being back in february but it came out clean asf nonetheless
I might be late to the party since I'm never on YouTube, but I noticed some new tracks on the JLR page, that aren't on streaming
CURREN$Y - SMART WATER (Official Video)
CURREN$Y - VIP PARKING (Official Video)
CURREN$Y - HAT COLLECTION (Official Video)
CURREN$Y - NAIL GUNS (Official Video)
Vibes immaculate. Too many good videos to post. Started with some new stuff and then did the classics as well. This was my 4th or 5th time seeing him and his energy and banter has been great ever since the beginning
A much needed detail was done today. Hot af today in Fl, but my shit clean & it smell good af…lets make it a good week yal.
In my opinion, these two meshed surprisingly well. Would love to see them collab in the future.
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$y collab project. Which is saying a lot. But for me and my tastes this might match up better than any previous releases, I’ll have to look back. But regardless we have what I think will go down as another classic in these two MCs discography.
Always gotta go vip it was so packed lol
It’s hard for me to listen to curren$y in public. I can’t help but to react. People probably think I’m crazy 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was listening to alert “Alexander or whoever made it I jus know she paid it it cost nething” 🔥🔥🔥🔥
He puts out so much music I forgot that he put that out. I was trying to find a song and forgot what tape it was on. I was thinking “cracking jokes in the office Micheal Scott “ thinking for motivational purposes only vol 1 but it was on the tonight show the sequel then I had to listen to that. Paul wall verse is the best feature on the tape.
What’s up people
I wanted to talk a bit about The OutRunners, now that some time has passed since it dropped. Mixtape, album, whatever you wanna call it.
In my opinion, it’s honestly one of Curren$y’s strongest projects from the 2020s, or at least from the last few years. It has such a clear personality. To me, this is maybe the moment where that whole yacht rap / luxury cinematic Spitta x Harry Fraud sound reached its highest point. The vibes are immaculate, seriously.
From the beats, to Spitta’s voice and tone, to the features, everything feels locked in. Rick Ross, Jim Jones, Wiz, Conway… all of them fit the world of the project perfectly. You can really feel that both Curren$y and Harry Fraud cared about making this one feel like a proper body of work, not just another quick drop. And I think it shows.
I don’t know if you guys have as much love for this project as I do, but for me it’s kind of special. I remember it was the first Curren$y project that dropped when I was starting to really get into his music. I was around 18 at the time, so I didn’t really live through the Blog Era properly, and being from Spain made that whole context even further away from me.
But I have great memories of listening to this album in the summer, burning an infinite amount of weed while it played. Is there nostalgia involved? Yeah, probably. But even putting nostalgia aside, when I compare it to some of his more recent projects with Harry Fraud, I feel like The OutRunners has really solidified itself as something important in his catalogue.
And then the continuation with The Director’s Cut and the bonus stuff made that whole era even more interesting.
How do you guys see it now? Do you think it aged well? Where would you rank it among Curren$y and Harry Fraud projects?
I was doing some work for fiend aka international jones, I do a lot of mixing for him while I was finishing up a project and spitta ended up coming in the session so I played him some joints from my album and he blessed me with a hook and gave me some dope game! Wanted y'all to hear it
