After leaving the label at the end of 2007 with Fly Society in tow, Curren$y released a series of underground mixtapes, including 2009's How Fly, a much buzzed-about collaboration with then-newcomer Wiz Khalifa. The brand was originally planned as a line of apparel, but it evolved into a music label as the rapper's relationship with Young Money soured. Not one to sit idle, Curren$y started Fly Society with professional skateboarder Terry Kennedy in 2007. He appeared on Wayne's Tha Carter II album that same year, and in 2006, Curren$y's 'Where da Cash At' single was released - both on its own and as part of Wayne's Dedication 2 mixtape - but a promised album never materialized.

2.īorn Shante Anthony Franklin and raised in New Orleans, Curren$y was originally signed to Master P's No Limit label, but in 2005 he made the move to Lil Wayne and Birdman's Cash Money imprint, Young Money. Subsequent solo efforts include the mixtape The Drive In Theatre, Pt. In addition to strong pairings with Harry Fraud and Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y's frequent work with the Alchemist resulted in critical favorites like 2022's Continuance.

His solo discography is impressive on its own, with highlights like his 2012 Warner Bros.-released, Top Ten-charting The Stoned Immaculate and 2015's Canal Street Confidential, but Curren$y also stays highly active with ongoing collaborations and guest appearances on other artists' tracks. Over the years, his smart lyrics would catch the attention of fans and other artists alike, and along with prolific output in the form of solo mixtapes, Curren$y had high-profile collaborations with Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Freddie Gibbs, and many others. New Orleans rapper Curren$y started out as a member of No Limit Records signees 504 Boyz in the early 2000s and made it through struggles with various labels before starting his own.
