Curren$y - Smokee Robinson


New Orleans native Curren$y had a busy 2009 and hasn't slowed down either in the new year. His first mixtape of oh-ten, Smokee Robinson, has Curren$y in his best form yet. Last year's collaborations with Wiz Khalifa (who appears here a few times) helped Curren$y to hone his flow and style that all culminates here with this release. But that is not all that this New Orleans rhymer has planned: his 2010 holds an official album (The Grand Scheme of Things) as well as time in the studio with his new supergroup Center Edge Territory (featuring the culturally significant but musically inept Mos Def as well as THE hot rapper right now and fellow New Orleans native Jay Electronica). Promising stuff from a rapper who has finally began to live up to his hype.
