Album: The Director’s Cut by Curren$y (2020)
Genre: hip hop
Record Label: Jet Life Recordings
Format: Digital Media

Description: One of the most consistent rapper-producer duos in hip-hop over the last decade, Curren$y and Harry Fraud bring blockbuster energy with every release. Through projects like Cigarette Boats and the 2020 nail-biter The OutRunners, they make movies without a camera, blending the respective oeuvres of Hal Needham and Michael Mann with their own contemporary twist on classic crime capers. The Director’s Cut continues their modern-day Smokey and the Bandit-styled run, replete with low-riders and speedboats. Highlights “News on Mute” and “180 Days” evoke epic chases, midnight exchanges on both land and sea, and decadent Jet Life business with Jan Hammer-esque aplomb. Look out for cameos from Larry June, Styles P and Trippie Redd.
