RH First Listen: "Rapper Weed"
After rocking the stage at our Dimes and Dozens party (co-presented by dubFrequency) Curren$y went into SoundScape Studios with us for a closed session. We turned the lights down, played some beats, rolled a little something up, and let the creativity fly. Rocking over original production courtesy of Tony Baines, Curren$y created "Rapper Weed", a mellow joint about, well, mellow joints. Download it free below, and tell a friend to tell a friend. Also look for more RH x SoundScape releases in the future, and video from Dimes and Dozens coming later today.
