Fortunately, the new album from Curren$y’s studio crew, Jet World Order, carries over the consistency that Spitta has built up over his past half-dozen or so releases. Read the rest of this entry »

As a fan, in order to get the most out of your entertainment experience, you obviously want your favorite artists maxing out their creativity. But, while above and beyond would be nice once in a while, I can almost guarantee every fan of Spitta and his Jet Life crew are just fine watching their heroes hibernating with ladies and Moet in a luxurious launch pad, high amidst the New Orleans skyline for the video to their Jet World Order single, “1st Place.” Read the rest of this entry »

Since Jet World Order has finally landed at your local retailers, it was only right we gave a little more incentive to get in the whip and pick up a copy. Or, if you already hit play on this hazy dedication to hard work, you may be so zoned, downloading from iTunes is probably be the better idea. Read the rest of this entry »

You know when you’re over at your aunt’s house and they’ve got one of those old, Casio keyboards, with the built in Entertainment-Tonight-esque demo songs? Well, slow down the BPM about thirty and you’ll have something similar to the beat behind “Excellent,” the lead track from Curren$y & crew’s Jet World Order. Read the rest of this entry »

That pesky foot injury may have slowed Spitta down for a moment, but everything seems to be falling right into place for the young man from the bottom of the map.

The first single from the group album Jet World Order is the hazy and endearing “1st Place.” Read the rest of this entry »

They say all work and no play is an easy way burn yourself out in whatever path you take in life. But when you’re Curren$y and your work is your play, there’s really no way to lose, especially when getting high is part of the job description. Read the rest of this entry »

When you’re rolling with The Jets, you’re bound to be in slow motion. This time out however, $pitta and his cohorts put the freeze frame on their smoking session because everyday is a Weekend At Burnie’s. Tour bus life. Hotel daze. Roll something, bitch. Read the rest of this entry »

Can we go ahead and give DZA his own strand of O.G. Kush already? The man reps for marijuana like a D.A.R.E. commercial (just on the opposite spectrum). Amazingly though, Big Smoke Dog has avoided the four walls and convenient roofing of being boxed in as “weed rapper” as he consistently paints his life’s memoirs in between the papers lines, amongst the blunt ashes.

However, that time’s long since passed as the CK masses wait–without held breath–for any sight or sound of When Fish Ride Bicycles.
