Background
Currensy officially announced the release of The Stoned Immaculate, this second release on Warner Bros, on November 11, 2011.[7] It was first set to be released in March/April 2012 but was pushed back to May 22 and finally to June 5. On March 10, 2012, Currensy announced he officially completed the album.[8][9]
Curren$y explained that ‘The Stoned Immaculate’ was more complicated to record than his previous albums and noted that he’s finished off past projects in only a few days. “Just from working with more people. I did more traveling than I usually do when I’m working on a project. I did "Weekend at Burnie's" in Miami with Monsta Beatz in two days. With this one I moved around. I was in L.A. with Daz, in Miami with Pharrell, and I recorded some of the records in New York and shit. That’s really the only difference, the music and my mindset is still the same,” Curren$y told HipHopDX.[10]
As for working with legendary West Coast Artist & Producer, Daz Dillinger, Currensy explained "I tried to find Daz a few times on Twitter but that didn’t really work out. One time in a meeting with Warner [Bros. Records] I brought up his name and asked them to try find Daz for me. A couple days after the meeting I got his e-mail and we smoked, burned it down, made sure everything was cool and did some work."[11]
