Former Young Money signee and constant Wiz Khalifa collaborator, Curren$y, has just signed a deal with Asylum/Warner Bros. Records, where he'll be dropping his upcoming fifth and sixth studio albums later this year.
The New Orleans native's career flight plan has not come without a few layovers along his burgeoning career. Initially signed to fellow Nawlins rapper C-Murder's Tru Records in 2001, Curren$y was brought over to Master P's New No Limit Records in 2002 after the founder was sentenced to jail. Then from 2004-2007, Curren$y enjoyed a stint on Cash Money Records, as part of Lil Wayne's Young Money Entertainment, before venturing out on his own, releasing a series of mixtapes and focusing on his "Jet Life" apparell and lifestyle brand.
In 2009, the effort paid off as he, in recognition of his talent and drive, was hand-picked to grace the cover of XXL's "Top 10 Freshman" issue amongst the likes of B.O.B, Kid Cudi, Wale and others.
Later that same year, the indie rapper released his debut album, This Ain't No Mixtape, and the follow-up Jet Files through Amalgam Digital.
He kept things going through 2010, dropping Pilot Talk and Pilot Talk II albums through Damon Dash's BluRoc Records. Both projects moved an unprecedented 40K and 30K sold units with minimal effort and has helped the talented lyricist generate over $750K in touring on his own.
Curren$y is now gearing up Muscle Car Chronicles and the anticipated, Pilot Talk III.
However, before the two projects, the rapper will be dropping a new mixtape with the Alchemist on April 19, titled Covert Coup. The release of the mixtape will coincide with a promo tour that begins that night in New Orleans.
