This Ain't No Mixtape


One thing you have to respect about hip-hop is that it is filled with artists that have almost obsessive work ethics. Say what you want about people like Lil' Wayne as sometimes he leaves a lot to be desired but there is no denying two things. First, he is talented and secondly he's a worker. This is evident simply in the seemingly unstopping torrent of mixtapes from Weezy which have featured some of his best work such as in the unstoppable 'Da Drought 3' and 'Dedication 2'. When Wayne proclaimed in an interview with Fader that his daily routine consisted of waking up, lighting up, and heading to the studio until he went to sleep, he may not have been exaggerating. 

Now it seems some (not all) of Wayne's attributes have rubbed off on Young Money protoge Curren$y. Known as primarily a mixtape rapper, he recently delivered his official release appropriately titled This Ain't No Mixtape in case you mistook it for one of the many unofficial releases he rattles off on the introductory track. You have to respect that kind of work ethic and if you do purchase the album here. Lord knows the man has put out his fair share of free work.
