This new collabo between Curren$y and Wiz Khalifa got me pretty excited. I only recently warmed up to Curren$y after hearing his latest mixtape before this. He is kind of an acquired taste. Wiz Khalifa was one of those artists you immediately love or don’t care for, I am the former. He has a very noticeable rap presence and an easy going rap style that fits in well with Curren$y. One downside to Wiz may be that he sounds a lot like Wale, but not enough to say that he is biting; there is a just a resemblance. This whole How Fly mixtape, as you can tell by the cover, is all about chilling out and smoking weed. There are no deep messages to be found, there are just two chill dudes making that laid back rap you can smoke to. One complaint about this would be that they both sound like they are in front of the beats rather than between them and their verses tend to drown out the beats. It is more of a sound problem. Some of the production could have been better on this as well. However most of the beats are smooth rap beats and fit in well with both artists. I feel like Curren$y lacked in the charisma and flow department at times. There were also a few weak and a few mediocre tracks. Don’t take this tape too seriously, it is fun, light music about macking chicks and smoking herb.The tape lived up to my expectations and came out to be a nice tape overall, minus the weak points. The standouts were Car Service, The Check Point, Layover, Friendly, The Life, Over The Building, and Rolling Up (my favorite), 3.75/5.
