Ultimately, like Morrison did, Curren$y knows that his ‘reputation proceeds. But, while K.R.I.T.’s laconic hook is purple haze perfection, one wishes Wiz Khalifa had ‘miss this jet.’ Though, Cardo’s production on “Showroom” is the standout on the album as it straddles the line between the Alchemist’s edgier production on Covert Coup and Monsta Beatz’s ‘elevator music’ stylings on This Ain’t No Mixtape. Big K.R.I.T also provides some of the album’s best production on ‘Jet Life.’ Everyone on the track sounds like they are rapping while snorkeling in the bong water-could be the next big thing. Unfortunately, while Wale is good for a hook, his overly emphatic ‘wordplay like a motherfucker’ comes off as bemused navel-gazing when compared to Spitta’s laid-back and understated intricacies.

So, with Morrison’s hangdog shadow looming over music forever, as it should, and Curren$y’s place in the forever ‘underrated’ category, it only makes sense that Curren$y-who has garnered a cult following around his aviation-inspired collective/lifestyle/sound (Jet Life) similar to those of us ever-devoted to Mr. Shante Scott Franklin, also known as prolific New Orleans rapper Curren$y, was born ten years later in 1981 and is continually left out of the ‘best rappers working today’ conversation.
