Pick Of The Day: Life Under The Scope - Curren$y
Today's Pick Of The Day goes to the always dope Curren$y for his cut entitled "Life Under The Scope". This track released back in 2009, a few months before his album Pilot Talk released in 2010. That album was sorta of comeback for Spitta because that album put him on a whole new level. "Life Under The Scope" was the first single off of Pilot Talk and produced by the legendary Ski Beatz as well as the whole album. Also, the visuals were shot the day the song was recorded. The beat contains some poly-technical horns with a clap along with the beats and cords from a xylophone. Curren$y is still at it, being one of the most consistent MCs in the game. Check out "Life Under The Scope" right above.
