Curren$y – Pilot Talk II (Review)

Curren$y

Pilot Talk II

Released by DD172


This past summer Spitta floored us with his major label debut. His hyper-visual wordplay delivered in that unmistakable drawl of his seemed to be a perfect, if unlikely, match for Ski Beatz's smooth, crisp production. That album yielded a few classics, and while I can't necessarily say the same for it's follow-up, the formula hasn't really changed since. Somehow the tone of this project has shifted from it's predecessor despite all the same basic factors being left in place. If Pilot Talk was the daylight that showcased Curren$y's talent to ...

Ski Beatz – 24 Hour Karate School (Review)

Ski Beatz

24 Hour Karate School

Released by DD172 / Def Jam


There's a point where you just stop caring about certain projects. Detox crossed that threshold a long time ago, and last spring, after narrowly missing it's most recent intended drop date, 24HKS joined it's ranks. (Funny how both projects involve legendary producers). While Dre's perpetual delays are undoubtedly caused by an almost OCD-like level of perfectionism, the pushbacks in Ski's case seem to mostly be due to industry politics. It's been almost a year since the much buzzed-about "Taxi," featuring Mos Def, hit the blogs. Ten months later, only it's ...

Pilot Talk

Released by Roc-A-Fella / Def Jam


Five years ago Curren$y was a sidekick. The only New Orleans MC garnering any type of real national attention was Lil Wayne, and as his lablemate at the time, Spitta was languishing on the Cash Money roster, fighting for mic time on mixtapes like The Dedication 2. I'm going to be dead honest, back then there simply was nothing special about the droopy-faced rapper with the drawling flow.

Curren$y Leak “Fly Monsterz (prod. Monsta Beatz) (MP3)

The first leak from Curren$y’s upcoming album, Monsterz Meets Aliens, brings us the aptly titled “Fly Monsterz” with production by Monsta Beatz. I like themes, and I wonder how the rest of the album compares to this cut…

“24 Hour Karate School” Trailer (Video)

24 HOUR KARATE SCHOOL TEASER from Creative Control on Vimeo.

Dame’s crew is at it again with a flick to hype up Ski Beatz’s 24 Hour Karate School. The song featured in the video by Mos Def and Ski is available here. The link is still up so get it while supplies last. Additionally a video for “We Can Do It Big” already dropped and that song will be on the tape as well. The guest list is pretty heavy on this one (peep the tags) and Ski Beatz is no slouch behind the boards. That’s enough to mark my calender for its release on February 15th.
