There were only gonna be seven records at first. There were just a lot of names floating around last year. Sonically, first, and then, we named it maybe two weeks before it dropped. So we need to figure out a way to convey this without saying it, and thus, the Continuance was born. So, I was like, people keep trying to make something be the next Covert Coup but if you say that, it’ll never live up to it. We already had Carrollton Heist and Fetti under our belts, as well, by this point. When I met Al, I just kept rapping over beats that day and then we’d end up with an album. HNHH: How different was the approach with Continuance compared to Covert Coup?Ĭurren$y: Well, the first time, we didn’t know what we were doing. You get out of it whatever you put into it,” he told HNHH of his latest project with Al.įollowing the release of Continuance, we sat down with Curren$y via Zoom to discuss his collaborative streak with The Alchemist, bucket list collaborations, and the perfect weed strain to accompany Continuance. You’d have straight A’s.’ So I was like, alright, let me apply myself a bit more, and people have made note of it. “ My teachers would always tell me, ‘You’re making C’s and B’s and you’re not even here so like imagine if you applied yourself. However, Spitta’s lyrical aptitude is glowing with an admitted chip on his shoulder from the years of being overlooked. Alchemist’s cloudy, smoke-filled world of hypnotic loops meets Curren$y’s hazy flow in an exceptional marriage of beats and bars.

However, their latest collaborative project puts those many years of chemistry on full display in their most ambitious effort together. They worked together the past ten years on projects like Carrollton Heist and Fetti alongside Freddie Gibbs. Spitta and The Alchemist's fourth joint project together, Continuance arrived in mid-February, a decade after their chemistry captivated the underground with Covert Coup. But what gets me paid is the fucking studio because I can’t do shows if I don’t have songs. “If I was, like, a fucking bad bitch and I got paid ‘cause I was hot, I would be in club sections, like hosting, and that would be what gets me paid.
“It made sense to live in the studio ‘cause that’s where you’re making your money off of so there’s really nowhere else for you to be,” Curren$y told HNHH of his time with No Limit and Cash Money. Since 2009, Spitta’s put out a minimum of three projects per year. The ever-prolific 40-year-old MC has delivered countless projects in the span of 10 years, emerging victorious through the mixtape and blog era, to now, the streaming era.

And that’s Curren$y’s biggest takeaway from his time on both No Limit and Cash Money – how to become a machine. Cash Money’s explosive rise in the late '90s and early 2000s positioned Lil Wayne for his unparalleled mixtape run in the mid-aughts.ĭespite the tension between the two camps, there were similarities in their approach to the music industry. The incessant string of releases from No Limit between '98 to '99 should’ve earned the label its own section at record shops. However, regardless of the opinion on the music itself, it’s hard not to argue that No Limit and Cash Money kicked down doors at their heights. New Orleans’s regional sound wasn’t exempt from the same narrative that downplayed the South’s success throughout the '90s and early 2000s. Curren$y discusses the evolution of his working relationship with The Alchemist, his biggest takeaway from his time with No Limit & Cash Money, and why he was more lyrically focused than ever on "Continuance."
