Curren$y + Bodega Bamz

Louisiana's Curren$y—who has traveled a strange career path that started at Master P's Cash Money label in 2003 and didn't result in a full-length until 2010's Pilot Talk—creates lush, stoned-out rap with a gangster mentality, perpetuating the cars-and-cash cliché while boasting about his NBA Live prowess. Hopefully you'll hear a bit from his latest, Canal Street Confidential, due out Dec 4.
