Catching up with Curci
by Tim Wenger
We first reported on Fort Collins rapper Curci back in July in a review of his album Curci in Wonderland. Since then, the teenage artist has been quite busy, spending some time down in Miami for the Coast 2 Coast Convention and making a video for his song “Nirvana.”
“It was a three-day event, and I performed in front of some judges,” Curci said. “It was like a yacht party, with a modeling competition on the yacht.” While he was down at the convention he made some connections, and has begun work with a Philadelphia rapper named Tone Trump.
Curci is trying to take his talent and mesh it with people from all fields of the hip-hop world. “I’m putting together a coalition of artists, kind of like my own record label, called “Conscious Minds for Righteous Revolution,” he said. The group is currently made up of a artists, film makers, and DJs, including Curci, Jizockk, Curci’s DJ, DJ Tico, a producer named Otsuka, and fellow FoCo rapper Casual. “To me, when I hear radio songs, it’s basically all about money and girls, and I feel like the people and artists in Conscious Minds are very different and stay away from that.”
Curci has also recently released a video for a new song “Broke as Shit,” filmed while he was in Miami, which will be on his upcoming album Speakeasy.
