For those who wonder where the lyrists have hidden in hip-hop look no further than Curren$y, an MC from New Orleans. Leader of the J.E.T.S crew (Just Enjoy This Shit) Curren$y injected his way into the mixtape game with an absolute assault in 2008, releasing 7 mixtapes in as many months, solidifying hard work, and a music over everything nature. Refusing to sign a major label deal so that he could “stay true to [his] music.”

Curren$y has truly taken advantage of the many networking opportunities that come with being a musician, including an exclusive clothing release with Skate Fashion brand Diamond Supply Co. this past month in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and headlining the first ever Hip-Hip Tribute at the 23rd annual Cannabis cup in Amsterdam this past November. In 2010 Curren$y dropped what could be considered his first “official” albums in Pilot Talk and Pilot Talk 2, and released a new mixtape “Return to the Winners Circle” on the first of the year. And with 3 albums slated for a 2011 release it’s very easy to make the case that Curren$y is one of the hardest working musicians making music today. He is also going on tour 40-city tour, starting on April 20th, which hits California on April 28th in San Diego and 8 other California cities including Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo, and San Francisco just to name a few. Do yourself a favor and get yourself a ticket, the Jet life is s spectacle to be witnessed. Also look out for Curren$y’s new album Muscle Car Chronicles, which is expected to release sometime this spring.
