Nesby Phips

Nesby Phips, Emcee/Producer from New Orleans, is the owner & operator of Bakadahouse Music, a production company which started in 2003, and long time associate of Curren$y. Last year Phips released the first edition of the Phips Files titled “The Phipstape”, but he’s mostly been recognized for the hard work he’s put in with underground heavyweight and childhood friend , Curren$y. The two have connected to make underground hits such as “Top of the Money”, “The Seventies”, “Lost in Transit”, “Mazaltov” & “Wave Race”.

Not to be confused as a tag-along to the current success Curren$y is having but more of a contributor. This artist holds his own weight on the microphone. Nesby is one artist that you should keep on your radar.

Nesby Phips, Curren$y & Wiz Khalifa – Mazaltov

Curren$y - Lost In Transit

Creative Control: Ski Beatz & Curren$y

This dynamic combo has made a huge impact on me. Best known for his work on the timeless classic, "Reasonable Doubt", Ski Beatz is a fan favourite when it comes to production in hip hop. Curren$y is a New Orleans veteran who is as of late receiving the attention he's always deserved. His lazy flow and eccentric rhyme plot and ostensibly thoughts have always been the pedigree of his appeal. Regardless of what subject he starts on, women and weed will eventually stroll its way into the verse. It’s part of the train-of-thought personality of his style. I don't personally support the lifestyle he promotes but I can't deny that musically his work is exceptional. This post will feature some of his recent videos which have all been directed by Creative Control.

If you're better off alone just say yeah you modern day hippie !

Alice DeeJay, a Dutch electronic music group, released this single in 1999. It reached great commercial success. The song is titled "Better Off Alone".



Wiz Khalifa sampled "Better Off Alone" in his 2008 single, "Say Yeah". Wiz, who of late is receiving overwhelming attention from people, started his commercial career with this song. The song feels more like a mashup between Eurotrance and Hip Hop which gives it an authentic feel. This is where it all started at.



Later on Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y, the New Orleans veteran, released a collaborative mixtape in 2009 titled, "How Fly". But before that, Curren$y, released a mixtape titled, "Fast Times at Ridgemont Fly" which featured a remixed "Say Yeah" and "Modern Day Hippie" was born.

I wish that somebody would blend in all three to create a dope mash up.
