Curren$y - Jet Files (Review)

Yeah, yeah, yeah... I haven't done an album review in a minute. Hip-hop is so cyclical that you guys might get sick of album reviews by the end of this month. Regardless, I'm hyped that I got to listen to this one. Curren$y had the best summer out of all the Freshman 10 in my opinion, dropping his first album and a classic mixtape with Wiz Khalifa. Now that the summer is over, and we're looking for a new fix, it's only natural that Hot Spitta would be working on some new ish. Turns out he was way ahead of us, putting out his 2nd digital album, titled 'The Jet Files' (check my preview).

Now, if you've listened to any Curren$y in the past an didn't like him, I think I can tell you why: CONTENT. If you don't smoke weed, watch sports and cartoons, or obsess over sneakers, you're probably not as quick to jump on his bandwagon. However, 'Jet Files' is the dawn of a new day for the man. His delivery has continued to improve, and his lyrics are now reaching a new plateau of creativity. Tracks like 'The 70's' and 'I'm Just Dope' show that Spitta has been spending his time doing a lot more than smoking. Of course, with any Curren$y work, the production is IMPECCABLE. His beat selection has caught fire, with relaxing, breezy, laid back instrumentals to complement Spitta's flow. Honestly, I'm not going to mince words anymore. Curren$y is a monster.

Curren$y - Jet Files

Curren$y has arguably had the best summer out of all of last year's Freshman 10. He dropped his first album, a dope collab mixtape with Wiz Khalifa, and is working on a mixtape with Don Cannon as we speak. But for now, he's JUST going to release another mixtape called Jet Files. This time around, Hot Spitta is promising two In and Outs (quick verses over popular beats), another one of his favorite stories and, of course the slick lyrics that made his first seven mixtapes as good as they were. Check the tracklisting, some loosies and three preview videos from Curren$y off his new mixtape, 'Jet Files'...
