Your previous album, This Ain’t No Mixtape, had a lot of futuristic sounds courtesy of Monstabeatz. Ski Beatz has produced most of Pilot Talk, and he seems to use more live instruments. Do you prefer that?

Curren$y: Actually the music was recorded the normal way, and then it was played over. The band was brought in after i had already made that stuff. I was going to release it like a regular studio album, but once i had to push it back, I was like, “I gotta do somethin’ to switch it up” because I had already shot videos for “Prioritize” and “Breakfast,” so everybody had heard them; I wanted to make sure they had new shit without pushin’ the album back again.

New Orleans native and most likely one of the highest guys in the game just released his major label debut album Pilot Talk yesterday so if you haven’t hit up iTunes or your local record store to pick this album up, you’re slacking. While out in New York, Complex sat down with Spitta to talk about linking his journey, working with Rick Ross, and why his good friend Wiz Khalifa wasn’t on his album. Head over to Complex to check out the full interview.

After my initial move to Chicago I met up with the founders of Dynastee Clothing Company, a growing clothing company that does something very different from a lot of their competitors. Utilizing a bottle of paint, a steady hand and creativity, they craft their designs onto t-shirts for customers. They categorize their brand as an upscale-urban fashion label that specializes in designing sophisticated, artistic clothing that represents the vision of our culture.

With any business, you need to adapt to growth and they’ve done that quite well. Understanding that every t-shirt cannot be handcrafted, they’ve adopted the screen print method to ensure their customers are taken care of in a timely fashion, but they will gladly create a handcrafted tee for anyone willing to wait. The process is quite unique and after the jump you’ll be able to see a behind-the-scenes view of the life in the design shop as Marcus, Co-Founder and Chief Designer puts together their classic “Recession Aggression” tee. More photos after the jump.

Tonight the Leaders Of The New Cool event comes to Chicago at the Viaduct Theater. Doors will open at 9pm and you can expect to see some of the biggest up and coming artists in the game such as Vado, Big K.R.I.T., Phil Ade and plenty more (see flyer). I’ll be in the building to capture the event for everyone who won’t be able to make it and we’ll be sitting down with Mississippi’s own Big K.R.I.T. to see what’s on his mind. If you don’t have your tickets yet you can purchase them before the show for $15, otherwise get them at the door for $20. See everyone there!

6th Sense is one of the producers who in my opinion doesn’t get the limelight he deserves. He’s worked with so many artists in the game and yet when people are asked about him, they give you that scrunched up face implying you’re talking in another language. Regardless, anyone who has worked with him or gets the chance to knows the caliber of his work.

He’s put together a little mix for all of the aspiring artists out there which features 34 tracks of some of the instrumentals he’s used for The Kid Daytona, Donny Goines, and many others. All you have to do is hit the jump to download it and then get in the studio to make good use of the material.

Mr. Steal Your Girl or Trey Songz to most is gearing up to release his upcoming studio album Passion, Pain & Pleasure on September 14th and he’s linked up with Nicki Minaj for “Bottoms Up”. The crazy Nicki is back though and personally, I wish she would keep her flow and style as she had it over “Up All Night” with Drake but we all can’t have everything we want. Shouts to HHNM.
