This morning Curren$y released the video for “This Is The Life” off his newest album Weekend at Burnie’s.  Spitta splices video of rocking crowds and kicking it with his crew for the visuals here, but makes sure to mix in plenty of rolling up shots too.

Curren$y’s Weekend at Burnie’s, which dropped online and in stores yesterday, brings Spitta’s normal flow to the forefront on another impressive piece of art.  His collaboration with Fiend, Trademark Da Skydiver and Young Roddy creates an interesting mix of vocals over the album’s beats.  The 12-track album doesn’t disappoint in many ways, but on some beats Curren$y brings more heat.

With the hope of piquing your interest, here are my top 4 tracks off the album:

#JetsGo: On the first track Curren$y hits on the usual topics: weed, cars and living the life, doing so over a chill beat.

You See It: Curren$y lets the world know that he’s shining bright, bright enough for everyone to see.

This Is The Life: My favorite track on the album.  Here Spitta found a beat that you can’t resist and totally kills it.  Chilling poolside and rooftop sounds pretty good to me too.

On G’s: Trademark and Young Roddy come back in again, and provide some much needed variety.  The trio perform much better in this case, especially Young Roddy who sets it off with the second verse.

Curren$y’s bars overshadow the beats that at times could have been better, but Weekend at Burnie’s is classic Hot Spitta.  Now the only thing left to do is check out the rest of the album.

In anticipation of his newest album’s release on June 28th, Curren$y has been streaming his album online over the movie original.  It’s been 22 years since Weekend at Bernie’s came out, but Spitta may be hoping to capitalize on some nostalgic sentiment.  He keeps it real simple on the album, just letting bars go over some velvety beats courtesy of Monsta Beatz.  Be sure to check out This is the Life, the seventh track on Weekend at Burnie’s.
