Shout out to The Madbury Club (and Phil Annand, the mastermind behind that whole movement, as well as one of the brightest young minds I know) for recruiting me to write for “The Club” this week. This marvelous Columbus Day (hey, I’m just talking about the day outside and stuff, dude. I don’t particularly care much for the actual holiday. No work, though. So I can’t complain too much.), they dropped their coverage of NY’s tour date for The Smoker’s Club, and those photos, by Vincent Picone, are crispier than that Kia Shine song that dropped a few years back.

Check the write-up here, and explore the rest of the site for other incredible features, spreads, and writing. It’s next-level genius, really. I honestly think that when it’s all said and done, they’ll be one of those sites that people talk about like they talk about Complex, Hypebeast, and The Gee Pee. Ha. I had to throw myself in there. My bad!

Shout out to Ellington, too.

My man Callender hit me up to be a part of the New York City leg of this marvelous national tour with Big K.R.I.T., Smoke Dza, and my Curren$y, aka $pitta, aka the trillest lazy flow in the game.

October 5th,  7 – 11:30pm. $20 pre-sale and $25 at the door. Purchase your tickets ASAP (here) so that you don’t get to the door, muttering angrily under your breath about how outrageous it is that these tickets sold out on you like that.

There’s also a bunch of solid guest acts, including Pittsburgh’s Mac Miller. I say grab the tickets, and then come say what’s up. I’ll be there, posted like a stamp with my small but satisfactory squadron of scrambling scholars. Shout out to Heather, GFC, 2 Dope Boyz, and the rest of the folks on this event with me. Fall through!

GRAB TICKETS HERE!!!

you’ve been waiting for weeks. and it’s finally here. sample it here:

yerp. tracklisting below, as well as the download link. enjoy, it’s wild.

curren$y the hot spitta has been so consistent as of recent. i wonder how wayne feels now that he’s established himself as a brand without the help of young money. and how does mack maine feel!? he’s still under wayne’s wing, but he isn’t making any noise!

one new joint, one old. both beats are insanity, because his beat choice is second to like only a couple people. and that’s a huge skill to have, because too many great rappers pick wack ass beats to flow on.

yup. the boy curren$y is back with another banger. you know DCtoBC had to have this joint on the site. the skydiver rips the beat of tabi bonney’s DC anthem “the pocket” right here. go ahead and download this one. props to the goonies over @nahright

from “this ain’t no mixtape”, dropping sometime soon.

i feel like pharrell had an understudy make this joint for the former cash money rhymer, who always expresses his love for neptunes beats. this is definitely on that wavelength. it’s crazy, and i don’t know whose on the hook, but if i didn’t know any better, i would say it’s kelis…i’m probably wrong, but i don’t care. enjoy.

my man jamie from funkadelic freestyles over at GWU in DC keeps me very in tune with the local scene. his radio station is ridiculous, probably the illest on the east coast, and on top of that, he supports DMV artists harder than anywhere i know! he’s a trailblazer. that’s why he put me on these new tabi bonney joints, off his new album, DOPE.

on "radio," tabi recruits former cash money representative curren$y, and they both kill it. the second joint is produced by ski, the same dude responsible for a lot of jay-z’s reasonable doubt beats, as well as a rack of those early camp lo records.

random, but has anyone ever heard tabi curse!? i’m just asking. and wasn’t the first album so hot? or was that just me? ha. anyway, look out for the album is stores everywhere, as well as his video on MTV and VH1.

"jets. where haven’t we been yet?"

yeah, whatever. it dropped like a month ago, and i could care less. i’m still jamming it hard. curren$y isn’t the best MC in the game, his choice of beats for mixtapes is superb. rather than telling you to DL the entire mixtape, i figure i’d throw you some samples from his last mixtape, "fin," and let me know if they’re vicious enough for you.

DL: curren$y – who nose

DL: curren$y – i did it myself

if you liked those joints, get the mixtape here.

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.
