Curren$y has held his fans down yet again with the release of his new tape Weed & Instrumentals 2. Let us not ignore the fact that this is his eighth project from the year 2016 alone. His last project Stoned On Ocean EP dropped June 27^th, not even a month prior to his latest release.

Weed & Instrumentals 2 is the sequel to Curren$y’s Weed & Instrumentals which was released back in March.

Spitta fans all over the world are probably rejoicing at the drop of this 22 track mixtape that features both Mr. Marcelo and Corner Boy P.

Also featured on the tape is the song “Good Cop, Bad Cop” in which he gives his two cents on police brutality following the killing of Baton Rouge citizen Alton Sterling.

Curren$y has provided a visual for the track “Pirates” off the tape so far but knowing Spitta, there is probably a lot more to come.

You can stream/download Curren$y’s new project below.

What up mixtape lovers? Here’s our latest Mixtape Madness!

Cassie, RockaByeBaby

Remember Cassie? “Me & U,” Cassie? Well, she recently released a tape and it’s really good. As the all-gold pistol and jewelry tape cover implies, Cassie is at her baddest: “Bad Bitch” may very well become the anthem. The tape shows a growth that separates the songwriter from her previous tongue-in-cheek style. There’s an abrasiveness and confidence in Cassie that had not been fully explored in past releases. Her specialty is mid-tempo, R&B vibes but even on turned up bangers such as “Bad Bitch” and “Turn Up,” she does a great job. Do not let the tape’s title fool you, RockaByeBaby will swaddle listeners in dirty sex-driven narratives, accompanied by sleek and luscious production.

Standout track: “Sounds of Love” feat. Jeremih

Raekwon & Scram Jones, The Chef Vs The Beast

The best of Raekwon and Scram Jones, in 26 head-bobbing tracks. Not much can be said. Whether you’re already acquainted with Raekwon or not, this is a listenable tape that captures some of his most recent work with a great hip-hop producer.

Standout track: “Shaolin Vs Wu Tang”

Jay Ant, Blue Money

Jay Ant’s Blue Money is pretty good. What works to Ant’s benefit is how versatile his tape is. From cloud-rap high vibes to hyphy bounce, the production that backs Ant reflects the Bay Area scene he reps. As a lyricist, Ant can create some telling stories. “You ever wonder why they tell you things but you can’t trust that,” asks Ant on “Temple Run.” Ant is at his best when he’s introspective, providing moments of insight, in similar fashion to Lil B. “Dreams Promises” is Ant’s “wow” song. There’s a well-balanced combination of memorable hooks, production, lyrical content and flow. Ant is still coming into his own, but judging by Blue Money, he’s headed in the right direction.

Standout track: “Dreams Promises”

Corner Boy P, RNS

“The same streets I call home might lead me to a goner,” states Corner Boy P on tape opener, “1997.” Life in ’97 was not so sweet for Corner Boy P, and this serves as his moment of retrospection, especially considering how much more upbeat the rest of RNS is. What’s enjoyable about P is he can follow in suit with his Jet Life cohorts while refining his own sound. His flow resembles that of Master P and Mannie Fresh, which is certainly a plus. At nine tracks, three of which are basically freestyles over other rapper’s songs, it’s hard to fully get an idea of what Corner Boy P is all about. It’s a decent tape but a few more songs or an increase in original tracks would have been nice.

Standout track: “Box Chevy”

Big K.R.I.T., King Remembered In Time

One thing is for certain about K.R.I.T.’s latest tape: he can definitely produce. Every track is luscious and maintains a southern backbone to it that gives the production a warm and inviting atmosphere. Peep our full review here.

Standout track: “My Trunk” feat. Trinidad James

Lore’l, Billboard Bytch

Now a TV star, it’s easy to forget about Lore’l’s rap sessions with the Outsidaz back in the day. This tape serves as a reminder that she can still spit some pretty hard bars. What’s immediately noticeable about Lore’l is her delivery, however. Confident and unwavering, her boasts hearken back to Lil Kim at her prime, and the production only empowers those boasts. The only complaint with the tape is Lore’l’s sing-song moments, which are not good and unnecessary. Aside from that, Billboard Bytch is heavy in all the right ways.

Standout track: “Outta They League”

On Wednesday the “Jet Life Tour: Direct Flight” made its stop in Chicago, and those who made the trip rocked out with several hundred Chicago faithful. Corner Boy P, Fiend, Mikey Rocks, Trademark, Roddy and last but not least the Spitta himself graced Metro’s storied stage in front of a raucous crowd. The place was packed, but this wasn’t an uncontrolled mob. To put it bluntly these people were here to see one of New Orleans’ finest, and they weren’t about to fuck that up.

One thing was clear, the buzz in the building was palpable. Patrons continued to pack into Metro’s main floor and balcony for almost an hour after the start of the show, but when Curren$y’s set started the crowd took their energy to another level. Most rappers have to resort to the tired, old “throw your hands up” pump up, but Curren$y’s fans know what’s expected of them.

To be fair by the time the Jet Life front man reached the stage it was hard to discern between the smoke from the crowd and what was coming from backstage. Nevertheless, when the DJ dropped “Elevator Musik” the venue went into full party mode. “We only two songs in, but this shit is like a wrestling match” Curren$y said. Not a complete exaggeration, but the electricity running through the building was unreal.

For all of you out there wondering if this tour is worth your time and money, you’re not just going to get a series of tracks from the New Orleans-bred emcee. This show is about that whole damn catalog y’all. Pilot Talk, Pilot Talk II, Muscle Car Chronicles and Verde Terrace all got some play, but that’s just naming a few. This attention to detail and work ethic is what gets the seats filled for Spitta’s shows. The man is willing to work for his fans, plain and simple. Ain’t nothing to it, Just Enjoy This Shit.
