"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.

just when i felt like my iPod needed updating, the homies christian rich bless me with an exclusive. we are officially the first blog to have this precious gem for download, and we appreciate that love greatly. read on.

if you haven’t heard about these guys (we’ve featured them before), let me catch you up to speed. the nigerian-born, chicago-bred twins have been making power moves behind the scenes for a minute now, producing hits for industry juggernauts like the clipse and lil kim. hungry for more, the eclectic duo decided to shift focus on their own careers.

but wait a second. this isn’t your average hip-hop mixtape that every one and their grandmothers put out. i said the young guys were eclectic , and i meant it. think of a slight electro vibe with a dash of soul, three shots of hip-hop, a sprinkle of pop, and a hefty scoop of some moon powder or something of that potency. my point is, the sound is out of this world.

the mixtape concept is pretty straight forward. it’s called i found my favorite beats and rhymed to them while watching "coming to america" and frankly, it’s pretty damn awesome. with production contributions ranging from mf doom to pharrell to christian rich themselves, as well as sponorship / co-signage from the world famous streetwear company lemar & dauley , this mixtape promises to entertain. it should hold fans over until their full-length album drops in stores everywhere.

enjoy the streaming version below, and click the insane album art to download the entire mixtape.
