The Video:

Spitting detailed rhymes about his life of luxury, Curren$y is the world’s most productive stoner. Showing his romantic side in a new music video, Curren$y shares “Shout Out,” a highlight from his recent Collection Agency album. Produced by Curren$y‘s frequent collaborator Trauma Tone, “Shout Out” is an ultra-smooth, saxophone-drenched for the ladies anthem, in which Spitta proves himself to be the perfect gentleman: “I could pull up with you a couple spots and have you poppin’/Open the door for you, I know everybody watchin’.” In the video, Curren$y and featured guest Larry June–who adds his deep-voiced witticisms to the proceedings–post up on a rooftop with bottles of wine and beautiful women, showing off the casual class of a typical night in their high-rolling lifestyles. “Shout Out” is Curren$y’s latest video from Collection Agency, following last week’s “Closing Date,” which showed off Spitta’s impressive car collection

Packed with the hazy production and intricate rhymes that have been thrilling Curren$y fans for over a decade, Collection Agency finds the New Orleans native in his bag, spinning witticisms about his life of luxury and painting pictures with his detailed description. The album features production from Harry Fraud, Dj.fresh, Trauma Tone, and more, who create a smooth and sumptuous sonic palette that borrows from ’80s electrofunk and quiet storm R&B. The tape boasts recent singles like the luscious “Kush Through The Sunroof” and the wistfully horn-laden “Misty,” along with highlights like the jazzy, Harry Fraud-produced “Arrival” (complete with an animated visual), “I Don’t Call,” in which the rapper brags about getting bands in a pandemic, and the saxophone-drenched late-night heater “Jermaine Dupri,“ which drew praise from the man himself on Twitter. Collection Agency earned coverage from Complex, HYPEBEAST, XXL, and many others.

Collection Agency is Curren$y’s first new project of 2021, following a yet another busy year for the veteran rapper. In 2020, the uncountably prolific rapper released 4 full-length projects and multiple EPs, each with a different set of collaborators. He kicked off the year with The Tonite Show With Curren$y, an entry into Dj.fresh’s renowned series of mixtapes, before keeping the momentum up with the Cardo Got Wingz-produced Green Tape EP,Smokin’ Potnas, a collaborative effort with his Jet Life associate Fendi P, and Spring Clean, a 10-track project with 808 Mafia producer Fuse. The second half of 2020 brought TheOutRunners, a Harry Fraud-produced effort that earned coverage from Consequence Of Sound, HYPEBEAST, REVOLT, and more. The Jet Life CEO ended the year with Welcome To Jet Life Recordings, a label showcase that featured contributions from signees like T.Y., Black Cobain, and more.

Curren$y is always working, feeding his fans quality music while looking towards the future. Collection Agency is merely the first salvo in yet another productive year for the respected rap icon.
