What began as a tribute to the So So Def founder turned into a full-blown series of collaborative projects. Curren$y and Jermaine Dupri began teasing a joint effort for over a year at this point and in a matter of days, For Motivational Use Only Vol. 1 will finally appear on streaming services. So far, the two Southern staples unveiled a handful of singles, like “Never Enough” and the ode to New Orleans, “Essence Fest.” These two singles alone provided promising insight into what to expect from their forthcoming project.
There’s no doubt that the two pulled all of their resources together to create the 40+ songs that are currently in the vault. Today, the two shared what seems to be the final single before the album drops, “Never Fall Off.” With assistance from T.I., Spitta and JD speak to the core of their upcoming project. It’s a soulful Southern banger that’s filled with motivational gems for the go-getters and hustlers. However, T.I. comes through with a stand-out verse that indicates that he won’t be slacking on Kill The King.
Curren$y & Jermaine Dupri Prepare For A Takeover
At this point, Curren$y and Jermaine Dupri haven’t unveiled the official tracklist for their upcoming project. However, we can suspect that they have a few heavy hitters attached to the tracklist. Along with T.I., JD previewed a single from the project featuring 2 Chainz. Though Spitta and the So So Def founder can certainly stand on their own without any assistance, it’ll be exciting to see who else they call on to join them on the project.
Spitta explained the project’s title during an interview with Vibe earlier this year. “I think from that you can derive what you’re going to hear,” Spitta explained. “You’re going to be pushed to get money, to count that money, invest that money wisely, and then once you flipped it once or two times, then maybe get yourself a little something, and then continue and rinse and repeat. That’s what it’s about.” Check out their new collab above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.
Quotable Lyrics
In a world of hate, I got love and respect in abundance
They try me, may peace be upon ‘em
Word to Muhammad, promise your head will be hunted
It won’t even cost me a hunna
Came up in the 90s, was listen to Chronic
To smokin’ with Dr. Dre, ain’t that ironic?
My life is iconic, Atlanta, I run it
