Curren$y & Jermaine Dupri's Highly-Anticipated Project "For Motivational Use Only Vol. 1" Is Here

From New Orleans to Atlanta, the South has produced some of the greatest music in hip-hop’s 50-year history. However, the two cities now collide on Curren$y and Jermaine Dupri’s joint project. This morning, they finally unveiled For Motivational Use Only Vol. 1, the first of several collaborative projects they have in store. The 7-song EP includes previously released singles like “Essence Fest” and last week’s “Never Fall Off” ft. T.I., along with the official release of “Never Enough.” 2 Chainz serves as the only other guest feature on the project. 

For Motivational Use Only Vol. 1 perfectly unifies Curren$y and Jermaine Dupri’s respective styles. Spitta finds a new sense of energy across the project while also bringing out youthful energy from the So So Def icon, who also lays down a few bars across the EP. However, For Motivational Use Only marks one of the several projects in the works with a follow-up potentially set to drop in exactly a month.

Curren$y and Jermaine Dupri connected by chance. After Spitta released a song in homage to the ATL legend, JD caught wind and ultimately, the two began plotting away on a joint project together. They first began teasing the effort in 2021 but only this year have they started rolling out the project. However, they’ve now collected over 40 records together, which signals a partnership that will hopefully continue beyond their own joint efforts.

During a sit-down with Interview Magazine, JD explained that he needed to feel motivated when he works with someone, hence the title of the project. “If I ain’t motivated by the person that I’m working with, then the music probably ain’t going to come out better than the records that I’ve made in the past,” Jermaine Dupri said. I think that we started working with each other and we start talking, kicking and just saying shit. And then it starts motivating me to want to be better. Everywhere I go on my way here, somebody done ask me, “Yo, when that album coming out?” Check out the project above.
