New Jet City Review

http://www.highsnobiety.com/files/2013/02/Mixtape-Currensy-New-Jet-City-01.jpg
After several days of listening to Spitta's new addition to his ever growing discography.The main thing that I'm noticing is the ever growing maturity that Curren$y is portraying in each song on this mixtape. The title track New Jet City with production sounding as though it was handpicked by Curtis Mayfeild himself the same man who picked the music for one of Spittas favorite movie Super Fly, Mayfeild's "Move On Up" was sampled by Kayne West for "Touch the Sky". On to more mellow of asong called "Clear". Andretti calls upon the talents of D-Block's Jadakiss, who lays down yet again another impressive, and lyrical verse.Even though "Choosin" which features heavy weights Wiz and Rick Ross was the first single realeased for the mixtape it would have to be my least favorite track on the album. Wiz and Ross held there own on the track of course but I felt as though this could have been used on another project.Going through the body of the mixtape you'll notice features from Juciy J(Three 60),Styles P(Drive), and the usual suspects Young Roddy(Drive) as well as Trademark(Coolie in the Cut). Some surprising colabs would be New Orleans legend Juvenile in the song "B***h Get Up". Also we notice Lloyd and the up and coming Trinidad James in "Purple Haze". In this Spitta paints a picture as he normally does, of him seducing a nice young lady, and clearly leads us along from start to finish through the whole endeavor.Trinidad James holds his own his track and even stays away from the "All Gold Everything" flow that made him famous.Like all Curren$y's mixtapes he doesn't disappoint.With a feature from French Montana in "These B***hes". The production allows for the two to showcase their two very unique lyrical styles, a nice reunion since the times of "So High" off Frenches Mac & Cheese 2. Next would have to be my favorite song on the tape "Moe Cheetah". The title has a playful mention at the songs content. Last but not least is "New Program". Spitta lends all lyrical responsibility to Young Roddy, who I believes put everything he had in this track. Overall the tape was a success to me. It was a little to slow for my usual liking, and far from a bass knocking anthem driven tape. If you're in the mood to chill and Landscape like many of us do, this is the tape for you...Side note its Curren$y no matter what he puts out he always deseerves a listen. Download it here. "
