Rochester, NY rhyme-vet, Curtis Coke has dropped a new single this morning, “F’k What They Talk About.” Laced with spacey soul and massive drums, courtesy of Producer Kidd Called Quest (Young Black And Gifted, Jae Hussle) Curtis takes the listener down memory lane, talking about the hardships that made him the man he is today.

With a decade plus of recorded music to his belt, Curtis (who formerly went by the names Curt Laisi and L.I.) has had street classics bang out on radio in Rochester and Buffalo. He has also worked with such notable producers as Midnite (38 Spesh), DJ Sight and Eto as well as collaborating with such artists as Lady Luck, Bobby Valentino, SunNY, 38 Spesh, Brogawd and YEAROFJORDN.
