Money Can’t Be Made Out Of Rhyme

Curren$y “Audio Dope II”

Curren$y has one of those voices that seems as though it could’ve been genetically engineered for the purposes of rap — he need not even work too hard on rhymes to make his words come out sounding smooth, seductive, and musical. You can hear echoes of Snoop Dogg and Pusha T in his delivery, but he’s certainly his own man. I quite like the way his verses have this sticky quality, as though every line coats the beat like a slow drip of honey. The music for “Audio Dope II” suits this quality perfectly — the resonance of his voice seems to slick up this rhythmic loop that grinds like gears, and the bright tonality complements his dark, nearly monochromatic cadences.
