[Audio Stream] Listen to Curren$y’s – The Stoned Immaculate Album in FULL

Didn’t even know this was out ’til I saw it in the Rdio new releases section. It’s actually really, really good. The album title fits perfectly for this vibey, woozy but still soulful head music. Think if Pharcyde smoked up with Cypress Hill and you’re getting close. Check it out on Rdio if this soundcloud promo preview player gets take down.
