Spitta performs one of my favorite tracks off of This Ain’t No Mixtape for the good people of Chicago.

“I’m in the zone, like a 1-3-1, looking down on the Superdome getting super dome.”

CURREN$Y + STALLEY: ADDRESS from Creative Control on Vimeo.

Dame Dash’s media project, Creative Control, put together some visuals to this excellent track by the Hot Spitta and fairly unknown artist Stalley, who hails from Massilon, Ohio. I have to compliment Dame Dash, whenever Creative Control puts out a video, the visuals are always so crisp and well edited. Don’t sleep on Stalley either, the dude has bars as deep as his beard.  Props to him for rocking the Indians hat!  Also, Curren$y is just decked out in Diamond Supply Co. gear in this video. I’m jealous.

Produced by Big K.R.I.T. himself, Spitta hops on this smooth joint with Smoke DZA off of the upcoming work K.R.I.T. Wuz Here, dropping April 5th.  To listen to K.R.I.T.’s other music check out his myspace HERE and be sure to hit the jump for the making of the song from CinematicTV.

Here comes a new record from Cory Gunz, entitled “The Ultimate.”

With production from Precize, along with a supporting cast of Curren$y, Mickey Factz, Smoke DZA and Nakim, Cory Gunz delivers another great record.

Though I enjoy listening to this track, there is nothing memorable on it. And quite honestly, without Curren$y and Mickey’s features, the song would not be worth downloading. Nonetheless, the link is below. Take it or leave it.

Off the upcoming album Mictape Vol. 1 from Michael Sterling Eaton, said to feature Mos Def, Curren$y, Scoop Deville, Stalley, The Cool Kids and others.

Directed by Jonah Schwartz, Curren$y stars in this piece about waking up in paradise, entitled “Breakfast.”

We don’t have the power to change the weather as of yet, but those of us with means can change our location to fit the climate we desire. In Curren$y’s latest video for his song “Breakfast” he does just that going from sleeping through NYC’s harsh winter to waking up in a sun drenched Jamaican villa. Director Jonah Shwartz leads us through Spitta’s daily routine of early morning doobie rolling over a mellow Mos Def produced soundtrack.”

The official music video for “Rooftop” by Boo featuring Curren$y and Capo. Originally on the Cool Guys Always Finish First mixtape by Don Cannon and Eighty81.com.

Here comes the first single from Smoke DZA’s “Substance Abuse.”

Entitled “Marley & Me,” Smoke recruits Asher Roth, Curren$y, Devin The Dude, and June Summers.

Though I respect Smoke DZA, Curren$y and Devin The Dude, my favorite verse goes to Asher Roth. Link below, people.
