I've been a Curren$y fan since '09. Ever since Pilot Talk he has been a consistent artist I've listen to every year since. He has so much game in is albums it's crazy. PAY ATTENTION.
Curren$y saying “IDK” when asked about how many projects he has total had me dying 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and then I realized that the art never died and the craft is still alive
I got hooked on Currensy when wiz and big K.R.I.T. were really coming up. When I couldn’t get my music fix from them I noticed currensy kept giving me albums damn near every month. I had counted how many projects I had from spitta on my iTunes and was like damn he must be my fav artist I got like 18 albums of dude lol
Fans be upset when artist don't drop anything and then they complain when you drop too much. It's not that deep people. Just enjoy the art for what it is. This is what artists do.
04:45 I love doing projects and that statement is so true of what people have said "No one's listening to an album, if they don't know you" and that MIGHT be true, but if they did... they would get to know you the same way a single can shed some light of who you are. Music is art, so keep painting. SOmebody's gonna love it, more importantly.. You loved it if you put it out, and that matters the most.
Being a producer that releases instrumental music I feel that it’s done me more justice to my career. I’ve dropped a lot of singles in a month and done well. Hearing both of y’all breakdowns have given me some new ideas to brainstorm on. Thank you for sharing the knowledge and always helping the producer community 🐉✊🏽
I love how he said that “it’s not going to expire when you get to it” exactly man I’ve been saying for too long that music became the fast food industry. I’m still going back listen to all eras of music and it still hits.
Also, Currency knows we are in a playlist era. People are going to listen to an album fast and put their faves on a playlist. So if you want streaming dollars you need to pop up a lot on people's playlist. You do this with quantity. Smart man.
We got folks in the underground posting a track a week for a whole year in my niech of nerdcore music making $100k every so often.. it just makes sense.
this was refreshing to hear Curtiss thank you! Curren$y and Larry June's numerous projects and art pieces is something I try to model my music career off of, because as I continue to grow and work on my upcoming 4th album, every new fan I get are able to go to my existing catalog and listening to a lot of older projects that I have available for streaming, like he said there's no expiration date and if the fans want more you gotta feed em 💎- LaynoProd
What Curren$y is doing is what we called building a solid foundation, now as an indies artist what you do is create tracks, sell them, put them on streaming platform, get airplay, do shows & tours, but keep the tracks coming on a regular, then drop mixtapes, mixtapes is what runs the underground scenes in the streets, so when something may not be hot on the radio, it will be hot in the streets, then you mix both together, the radio friendly tracks & grimey tracks & create an audience that just be loving all your creations. Plus as an Indie artist your image & artworks is what sell you off, then all the merch that you create will also be selling because of having content.
Honestly bro I feel everything in this video. As an artist I’d rather drop what I feel like I need to drop and not just pushing out something trying to find something catchy
As a huge fan of Spitta I’ve fallen out of his music over the last two to three years and started listening a lot to Larry June. Tapped back in with spitta and Harry Fraud’s VICES and now right back into his music.
Larry June is like a mix of Max B and Shoreline Mafia or a old Dipset song.. The odds of me finding a something I like is slim. When I do I feel like one than the beat usually ends up going to waste. He's overrated in the underground world imo.
@@TheCuttyBrownyou really think Larry is better (I respect your opinion and can understand how you could say that) curren$y is just lyrically so much better. Larry nice but his lyrics are very easy to digest and doesn’t require much thought. I think it’s just the vibe you prefer, and I’ve honestly listened to more Larry in the past 3 years than I’ve listen to new $pitta. He definitely over saturated and dropped too much music to keep up with. After a while it all sounds the same. I’m not the biggest Jay-Z fan but because he drops so rarely I look forward to a new release. Same with future and Eminem, even if the album isn’t good I look forward to the new release. Only artist who dropped banger after banger month after month for years that I could digest was Gucci and Wayne and I’m not saying they are the best lyrically. I’m more of a Lupe fan fr
I have never heard of you, let alone heard your music! But I’m going to tap in solely off the strength of this one video. You was talking that talk that I appreciate
I LOVE and APPRECIATE how much he released and continues to release. He is right when we find it - we find it, and fall in love with a new masterpiece. No one will ever compare to him. #ProudSuperFan I'll die before I stray away. It's forever #JetLifeToTheNextLife.
Chatt from Now or Never and just wanted to share my appreciation for the the thorough content and breakdowns been following since the SoundCloud bandcamp days salute to your craft🫡
It’s facts man. There’s now way to digest the amount of music he makes right when it drops. But I always go back. And guess what. I always find heat! Keep going spitta!
Real triple OG🫱🏾🫲🏼🫡 this man changed everything on its head in the early 2010’s. Datpiff was an era of its own. This man discography is astonishing and real quality🙏🏽💫
Nas dropping 6 albums in 3 years. I like at least 2-3 songs per project. Let’s say 6 x 3 is 18 songs. Nas has successfully gave me an albums worth of music scattered between projects. This also allows a new comer to travel back in time to his other classics. Next thing you know you might have 30+ songs from Nas on your playlist ready to recite all of his songs at his next concert. Love for the art repays itself 🙌🏾
Now I don’t feel so bad lol I thought I needed to like/listen to everything my favorite rappers have while also trying to hold space for newer artists. It can be exhausting at times trying to catch up to everyone’s music. Both past and present.
It’s Art the word consistency is dropping as much as you want without other telling you when to even if it’s for yourself stay releasing music spread it out though
Everything said in this video was on point and true. Personally for me, I can care less about being famous. I rather make $25,000 a month doing what I love and be grateful if I make even more than a work labor job. Appreciate this video King🤙🏾🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
He’s smart for dropping a lot of work the bigger the catalog the more u have to keep ppl interest and booking u for shows…those artists who stop dropping stop getting booked or the music becomes dated…gotta stay fresh and keep dropping…at the least drop once/twice a year but even then u gotta still focus on dropping quality shit
Biggest regrret is not seeing Curren$y during that Rock The Bells Tour when he was dropping that first Alchemist joint. Curren$y is an inspiration to anybody on the grind.
I don’t feel like it’s “too much” I got a playlist with all the curren$y on it and I just add to it as he drops more, he’s the only artist I listen to who never disappoints , project after project nothing but heat💯
I saw Ghostface Killah on Oahu around 10 years ago. Dope show! when I walked in and saw the merch table, I saw all of his albums on CD. I’ve bought everyone of his albums either on CD or digitally so I wasn’t interested. I saw some shirts that were 40 bucks and were dope but I don’t really wear T-shirts and I didn’t really feel like dropping $40 on a T-shirt. After the show was over as I started to walk out, I saw that Ghostface went to his merch table to sell stuff personally. Better believe I got in that line for that merch table and bought six shirts Since I was giving him the money directly! I had him autograph them all while I got to talk to him for a minute and give him daps. I did screen printing for many years, so when I look at the cost of those shirts versus how much he was making off of them that profit margin is insane. I also went to a grouch show probably 15 years ago and they were selling a grouch skateboard deck for like $75. I wasn’t going to buy it but then after the show grouch was selling the merchandise himself so I bought that skateboard and had him sign it and thanked him for his music
“3 piece set” a closed sesssion …fucking cigarette boats…fucking verde terrace, fuxking weekend at bernies (before burner cookies blew up shit ages well) pilot talk, the drive in theater, carrolston heist, ,,,1030, 11/30,12/30…i got lost somewhere round their when i woke back up he had like 20 more tapes
Facts Weed & instrumentals 1 , 2 and 3 Stone ocean 1& 2 Spring collection 1& 2 Fire in the clouds The outrunners & the director's cut And there's still more
I just saw this interview dope....curren$y is my favorite rapper and jay z..... Verde Terrace mixtape a rare gangsta grillz done by dj Drama and Curren$y im still in shock Curren$y has a gansta grillz...a chill laid back lyricist as such as himself
Damn, I just realized I’m one of those people who have been watching for years, but never have subscribed. I subscribed today though Brody. My bad, it’s all love tho. 😂
Curren$y speaking facts cause look how we miss X vs how fast JuiceWrld became discovered upon his passing... Its your legacy... you write your narrative everyday with your art as a imprint............. Also I'm the 777 like on this... Jah really talking rn
Dude is Dope, from the Chi but when I moved down South, my homeboy put me up on Winners Circle, and I was like yeah, Bro got his own sound, I love that in Hip Hop!
“Sometimes we over value the casual fan” 💎
Exactly
aye what the answer i’m curious asf

Hearing your own voice and releasing anxiety through music is therapeutic and also " one hell of a drug" lol
🤣💯

Drive -In Theatre Album is a Classic..There is no Skip on that Album..One of his Top 3 Curren$y Albums for me…
Biggz Was Here. Peace.
That tape is why I watched the godfather series and why I read the book. Curren$y is the truth.
04:45 I love doing projects and that statement is so true of what people have said "No one's listening to an album, if they don't know you" and that MIGHT be true, but if they did... they would get to know you the same way a single can shed some light of who you are.

Started following Spitta when he sampled my Dad's music for his Jet Files project.. Been a fan since then. Great commentary and video. Thanks!
Who's your dad and what song did he sample?
I need to know

One of the best catalogs in hip hop history 🔥🔥🤙🏿
He knows his lane and his lane will never go out of style.
Currensy is my guy. My favorite local artist down here in Louisiana. It would be dope to work with spitta ..that man is an independent Giant
I love how he said that “it’s not going to expire when you get to it” exactly man I’ve been saying for too long that music became the fast food industry. I’m still going back listen to all eras of music and it still hits.
2:10 I definitely feel you, I had to take a break on Spitta projects for a cpl years and looking back they’re still lit lol real quality music
I actually listened to all Currensy music and missed out on discovering new artists lol🤷🏾♂️jetlife🤙🏾
THIS 📍
Also, Currency knows we are in a playlist era. People are going to listen to an album fast and put their faves on a playlist. So if you want streaming dollars you need to pop up a lot on people's playlist. You do this with quantity. Smart man.
Never thought of it like that 💯

Spitta's work ethic is no different than Flee Lord, Papoose, and Griselda. If you got it, give it.

Valueable content curtiss my brother 💯
Definitely on point as usual 💯🙏🏾 A lot to think about
Currensy had a thing late 2000s or early 10s where he dropped a mixtape for every month for like almost a yr.
hes still keeping up the work ethic
Curren$$y been goated for the longest
Gave value for years Curtis. This video ❤
i appreciate this breakdown 👀
This is such a good vid, alot of solid info
"You have to figure out what gets you going." Too many artists, including myself, sleep on this gem.
Thank you Curtis for knowing quality music 🎵🎶
Dropped a lesson right here Sir! Salute!
Today's rap music is like McDonald. You gon keep eating it, but it doesn't satisfy. Because is not real food 🤣

When bro dropped Andretti every month the last 4 months in 2016. I knew whatever Curren$y was reachin for……He was going to get it 💯💯🔥🔥

Super dope. My uncle's put me into Spitta since I was in elementary. And still looking forward to more of it.
Also I'm almost 25. For perspective
curren$y is dope. I can put him on shuffle for an hour.
For days
my biggest inspo, i drop music the same, it pays me well each month owning my masters on top of it. Art never expires
16:11 i agree
My favorite artist of all time.. natural energy refreshes 🔋
I bought a beat from you back in the day 🔥 glad to see this channel
Overvaluing the casual fan is so spot on.

Great video brother keep it up

I was in middle school when “How High” dropped and I’ve been on every tape the day it drops, true legend !
I think it's between Currency and Tha God Fahim (dump gawd) on how many projects have been dropped. Those two stay dropping 🔥
Curren$y the 🐐 💯🛩️
He’s one of my favorite artist of all time. I haven’t listened to any of his new albums because I can’t keep up
Much love brother curtiss from india.
