Who says radio promo has to be the boring, same ‘ol same ‘ol? Towards the end of this video clip, Curtis spruces up his interview at a Florida station with a lil in-studio energy. I take it he’s enthralled with the aggressive content from his new CD, BISD. Ha! Spotted: Hip Hop N More

This deserves a tardy pass. But hey, better late than never. Over the last few weeks, I’ve familiarized myself with Mike from his various gigs throughout the city.

Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
