These are songs that have been on repeat since I got them. I thought I would share them with the world and explain why I play these the most. I still don't have in auxiliary hook up for my iPod in my car, making me auto-technologically deficient. Thus, I still have to burn mixes (sigh) and these songs are usually on them.
WIZ KHALIFA - I used to avoid Wiz Khalifa until his Burn After Rolling Mixtape. He showcases various sounds and lyrical deliveries on this mixtape but the song, When U Find, stands out the most. The song has a perfect soul sample with no beat. He samples the orignals' chorus for his chorus. His subject matter is about how he fails in a relationship. If he could have went without the line, "and I apologize for sleeping with that freak b***h," he could have had a perfect relationship song where a male rapper finally shows 100% vulnerability and is realistic about the dynamics of relationships. I have not gotten tired of this song though. I love it.

JAY ELECTRONICA - As for Jay Electronica's Exhibit C, I really don't even have to explain. In fact, I won't.

CURREN$Y - Curren$y is easily becoming one of my favorite artists behind Jay Electronica. I was a late comer, I didn't listen to him when he was with Wayne and some of his mixtapes in 08 and early 09 didn't offer me much because the beats were older hip-hop tracks. As a producer I have to be brought in by the beat first, sorry. Life Under the Scope was the track that really grabbed my attention sonically and lyrically. Between the Ski Beatz (Camp Lo's producer) beat and Curren$y's nonchalant flow, this song is inextricably smooth. I think Curren$y represents a middle ground between a gritty rapper and a cosmopolitian, Supreme store vandal rapper (think Mickey Factz or Kid Cudi). Jet's Over Everything slaps and Famous samples Sade so his dichotomous nature is perfect in this day and age. You decide which Curren$y track you like the most.
