i know. it’s so hard to get somebody do download a mixtape from a relatively new/unknown artist. hot spitta, i’m not saying we don’t know you! but it’s reality; nobody wants to risk scooping around 15 songs that could all be duds.

i’m here to say that curren$y’s joint is certainly not a dud. weezy f. baby’s former right hand man comes correct, from the album art to the lyrics to the beat choice. i didn’t think he’d live out there without d’wayne as his co-signee, but he’s definitely standing on his own two so far. i heard two loosies off of the joint earlier in the week, and he did such great work that i had to see what else he was working with. click the album art or the link below for the DL.
