Label troubles with both Young Money and No Limit caused this talented New Orleans MC to see his debut studio album to face delay after delay. It actually got to the point that Curren$y was no longer affiliated with those two crews and found himself instead releasing a steady stream of mixtapes. And it was not until 2009 that he finally made his debut with the appropriately titled This Ain’t No Mixtape. While his mixtape game didn’t slow down, he began also focusing on his proper studio records, such as Pilot Talk, his first album due out on the Blu Roc label. As the title implies, Curren$y’s still got a thing for getting high and rapping about it. After the jump you can watch the video of the second single “Roasted”. Pilot Talk drops July 17th. Prefix

Buffed by adulation from all corners of the industry and backed with remixes from Hud Mo, Ikonika & Optimum, Machine Drum, and Falty DL, American Men deliver their first five tracks of Miami-lazer-rock for Lucky Me. The Glaswegian group comprise three members of the short lived Russia outfit and a current member of the hotly tipped Dananananaykroyd supergroup, playing a canny fusion of complex Math Rock and arcade game melodies. The remixes range from Ikonika and Optimum’s 8-bit Funky ride to Falty DL’s febrile beat collage and a boldly epic recomposition from Hud Mo. Get it now on Boomkat. Thanks to Perf10.
