So I haven't been able to give Independence [the Mixtape] Day a full spin. But it ain't cause it sucks (at least not as far as I can tell so far yet); I can't stop listening to the first song:

Currency's Sole Man is the freshest thing I've discovered this year since Animal Collective. It's retro thump with Pharrell-meets-young-Jay-Z flow with Weezy's vocabulary of absurdity and knack for fluidity in shifting gears between narrative and image.

It's one of those tracks that's got me excited about the state of hip hop and that's got me excited about this guy's career. And what's more is that I'm not even to the point where I'm ready to stop just enjoying the song and start figuring out why the hell it's so appealing. i don't even wanna pick it apart at this point.

I will later. And you can bet you'll hear about it. And the rest of the tape if I ever get past this gem. It's gonna be a tough act to follow, that's for sure.

Here's the link to the torrent one more time for those of you in the back via MixtapeTorrent.com.
