Curren$y's laidback and carefree attitude doesn't quite reflect his remarkable hustle. He first gained attention as a member of the hip-hop crew 504 Boyz's second lineup, releasing two albums with them. After dropping almost a dozen mixtapes, he finally released his independent solo debut—ironically titled This Ain't No Mixtape—before his critically acclaimed commercial debut Pilot Talk. He now operates his own record label—Jet Life Recordings—and is known for his collaborative projects with Wiz Khalifa, The Alchemist and his own Jet Life crew.
