These matter-of-fact bars, plus the video in which Curren$y walks around on the beach in Chucks burning down his second joint of the day, are simultaneously Spitta’s ethos and selling point: rapping really well about life’s small pleasures, and aggressively not doing things he doesn’t feel like doing.

The beat was practically begging for a chronicling of someone’s perfect day, and so Curren$y rapped over it about whiling away an afternoon eating Zapp’s chips and playing 2K: In 2010, however, Mos played the role of producer on Curren$y’s Pilot Talk album alongside the legendary Ski Beatz - who crafted towering classics like “Dead Presidents” and “Who You Wit” for Jay Z, as well as most of Uptown Saturday Night for Camp Lo - and Mos strung together jangling samba guitars and lolling horns to make this gorgeous song that sounded like when orange juice meets champagne. “Breakfast” was made by Curren$y, a rapper from New Orleans, and Mos Def, a rapper who used to be from Brooklyn but is now a global citizen with universe brain named Yasiin Bey who has transcended both people orientation and international politics as well as the need to rap, sort of. I always find my way back to that strip and Hobbes’s fulfillment in tiny joys when explaining the draw of a song called “Breakfast” and, indeed, the guy who was responsible for crafting it. The final panel depicts Hobbes eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in the kitchen, saying, “I got my wish.” Calvin, upset at his imaginary friend’s lack of vision, says he’d ask for a “trillion billion dollars,” and his own private continent. Leauge and Pharrell, was back for the rapper's 2012 street release, The Stone Immaculate.In one of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes comic strips, Calvin asks Hobbes what he’d wish for if he could have anything in the world at that moment, and Hobbes says he’d like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The stopgap release Weekend at Burnie's followed in 2011, with the retro backing tracks coming from producer Monsta Beatz. With the label’s in-house producer Ski Beatz handling most of the production on both, Curren$y's Pilot Talk album appeared in July of that year, with Pilot Talk II landing in 2010. The relationship continued that October with the download-only Jet Files, but in early 2010 he joined the Def Jam family via Damon Dash’s DD172 imprint.

After leaving the label at the end of 2007 with Fly Society in tow, a series of underground mixtapes appeared before Curren$y hooked up with the digital-only Amalgam Digital for the early 2009 release This Ain't No Mixtape. The brand was originally planned as a line of apparel, but evolved into a music label as the rapper’s relationship with Young Money soured.

Not one to sit idle, Curren$y started Fly Society with professional skateboarder Terry Kennedy in 2007. He appeared on Wayne’s Tha Carter II album that same year, then in 2006, Curren$y's “Where da Cash At” single was released - both on its own and as part of Wayne’s Dedication 2 mixtape - but a promised album never materialized. Born Shante Anthony Franklin and raised in New Orleans, Curren$y was originally signed to Master P’s No Limit label, but in 2005 he made the move to Lil Wayne and Birdman’s Cash Money imprint, Young Money.
