curren$y is a new orleans rapper who originally was the founder of fly society.later created jets. his real name is shante scott franklin. was a member of the 504 boyz back in 2002 and once repped no limit master p’s record label. around 2004 he left and hooked up with young money and created a single where tha cash at. 2007 came and lil’ wayne kept pushing curren$y release date further and further(because of his talent) obviously he was the better of the group and left. 2008 came and released a serious of mixtapes that gained him mainstream media attention by xxl magazine which led to him being on the freshman issue back in 2009.

his debut alb-m was back in 2009 ‘this ain’t no mixtape’
following the release of pilot talk i and ii, weekend at bernie’s and the stoned immaculate.

as for mixtapes check out dat piff!

curren$y is one humble rapper and by far one of the best today. he is doesnt label himself a weed rapper as he is called to some. you can always catch him rappin about women,cars,weed, and his experiences. watch one of his interviews he never disappoints.

curren$y is an example of what hard work does and being an independent rapper doing it all on your own. he put his homies trademark da skydiver, young roddy, and street wiz on as well.

also his mixtape with wiz khalifa ‘how fly’ is a cl-ssic

catch him with the jets! and any other real cat he raps with.
