3. "This Ain't No Mixtape" - CurrenSy

It's coming!!! Jets, nigga!!! When it comes to rappers, I think that a level of understanding has to be reached before one can dismiss a rapper as wack. You have to be able to level with them and see the hotness in what they portray. Curren$y is coming out with his album "This Ain't No Mixtape", which should solidify him as one of the bigger up and comers in the rap game today. While he doesn't have the wordplay of Mickey, he has the grittiness of Cory Gunz and flair for laid-back delivery like Drake. Seriously, over chilled out beats, this man can hold your attention. His lyrics are simple, but he does them in a way where the average and serious rap fan can enjoy him, without the nonsensical idiocy that Wayne brings to the table. I'm guessing that Tha Hot Spitta will have a few GTA Vice City themed tracks on there, which should be interesting to say the least. Curren$y always seems to have the dopest themes on his mixtapes and finds a way to integrate them into his tracks. But anyways the album drops on April 21st. Here are some previews, snippets and random tracks from the album. JETS NIGGA!!!
