Shante "Curren$y" Franklin keeps his fanbase fresh and releases new material soon. His sound darkens with the arrival of the new year, the rhythms are as trap as they're dark and the New Orleans rapper spits bars with his velvety flow on melodic productions made by Trauma Tone, Cameone, DJ Fresh, Harry Fraud, Purps, Heatmakerz and Black Metaphor.
Consisting of ten short joints and 24 minutes of listening time, the tape boasts only one guest, Larry June, who doesn't impress in "Shout Out" over an honest beat by Trauma Tone. The guys behind the keyboards have offered solid rhythms, but the best is, by far, the one from "Jermaine Dupri": beautiful jazzy boom bap, wonderful samples, sparkling drum, rhythm that fits perfectly with Curren$y's rapping style, melodic, slow, flowing. I look at the producer list as I write, the beat is by Harry Fraud, unsurprisingly. The fact that this tape is one of his less successful and is still quite decent, if not good, proves that the boy is really one of the best performers of the two thousand and ten years, not celebrated enough. 6.5/10.
