Curren$y is Getting A Key To Downtown Main St.

8/5/2021

And the view from the rocking chair improves/But I have yet to see a team fucking with the crew/Near and far, I saw it all, wide-frame/Everything with wings ain't a plane, mayne/Endo get rolled up like car windows/Avoiding the policemans, them Carl Winslows/The wind blow and change, and I am not mad/All garbage bag rappers need to find a style fast/It's written all over niggas like a Dapper Dan/Survive rough lands, cactus plants growing in desert sands/Alive I stand, left for dead, though a nigga didn’t die/I got highed up so I could autograph the sky, fool/
- Curren$y 2nd Verse "Michael Knight

Why would anyone ever get a key to downtown? Especially the Louisiana native Curren$y. He is set to perform at Cain’s ballroom on August 20th (Doors open at 8pm). For anyone that knows smoking culture knows that Curren$y is one of the pioneers of stoner rap and a champion for the cannabis world. His 3 part-mixtape series Pilot Talk showed the evolution of an artist with almost 2 decades on the mic, getting his first deal with Master P’s No Limit Records, and an early roster of Young Money/Cash Money Records. The Stoned Immaculate artist was even been signed to Dame Dash’s DD172 label. Curren$y truly is an artist that has seen the ups (one being on the Freshman cover of XXL) to the downs (Having Dame Dash sell his music without his permission.). But to see his performance is to be engulfed in the audio dope that spills from every bar. He’s one of the few rappers that can start rapping a song then hold the mic out to the crowd and hear every word, every pause, every inflection perfectly replayed. When they say all you need is 1,000 true fans, Curren$y is the artist who has taken this blueprint and build a career off it.

But should Curren$y get a key to the downtown Main St.? No but the other artists that are performing on the same stage with Curren$y SHOULD! Artists Dialtone, 1st Verse, Keezy Kuts, Clutch Barz, Doc Free, and Bezel 365. These are the ones that really deserve a key to the downtown Main St. These are the artists that have spent years building a rap scene in Tulsa. From the shows that used to have only 3 people in the crowd, to now a whole festival that saw thousands cheering them on as they looked out onto what Tulsa hip-hop scene has grown to become. It’s their music that’s now being played on the local radio stations. And it’s their talent that had Motown knocking at their door to get a piece of that Tulsa sound. They even brought uncle Charlie home. And choose to stay in Tulsa right downtown they have proclaimed that hip-hop will have a place downtown. Right where Black Wall Street was. They built downtown into a hip-hop scene that not even the major city like Cali or New York City can say. If you don’t believe me check out the World Culture Music Festival.

So come to Cain’s on August 20th and come see some artists from right here in Tulsa, get the key to the city. They are Tulsa. They are Main St. And when the Jets are gone, it’s going to be them still here. Still reppin Tulsa. And Still yellin’ Everything IS US!
