Curren$y - Chasin Papers (Feat. Pharrell)

Featuring Pharrell Williams on the hook/chorus and production from The Neptunes, here is my favourite track from Curren$y's eighth studio album 'The Stoned Immaculate', which is set for release June 5th on Warner. This guy releases more music than most and has an incredible work ethic - the fact that he has the talent to match it makes him one of my favourite 'newcomers. Big tune.

Curren$y - You See It

New Orleans rapper and Hip-Hop connoisseur Curren$y thrives on making music on his own terms. With his “Jet Life” mantra about living life to the fullest, the savvy rhyme spitter is focused on a lyrical devotion to the truth and authenticity. It’s because of this ethos that the man born Shante Anthony Franklin has transcended any regional rap stereotypes to become a favourite of bloggers, critics, fans and everyone in between. Now aligned with Warner Bros., the plan is to let Spitta be himself, but have even more people get acquainted with the Jet Life. Big album, and here is my favourite track from it. Out tomorrow.

Success Is My Cologne

One of my favourite tracks from Curren$y and Alchemist’s collaborative EP/mini-album, Covert Coup. Along with some of the best Alchemist production for years, Curren$y blesses us his strongest rhymes since Pilot Talk 1, creating a quite scintillating sound - this is a special chemistry which I hope we get to hear more of in the future.
