Curren$y - Jet Life (feat. Big K.R.I.T. & Wiz Khalifa) (Official Video)

Curren$y was signed to Master P's No Limit Records in 2005 through his friendship with Soulja Slim, a rising star on that label. He was also on C-Murder's label Tru Records. He then signed with Cash Money Records and Lil Wayne's Young Money Entertainment where he remained until late 2007. While still at Young Money, Curren$y created Fly Society with skateboarder Terry Kennedy, first as a clothing company then expanding to release music. He released the song "Where Da Cash At" as the lead single for his Young Money debut Music to Fly to in 2006, but due to several push backs and lack of promotion, Curren$y decided to leave the label and venture off to do business on his own. For several months throughout 2008, Curren$y released a series of mixtapes to gain notoriety. His work was impressive enough to land him on the cover of the XXL Magazine Freshmen 10 of 2009. After the release of This Ain't No Mixtape and Jet Files through Amalgam Digital, he joined the Def Fam family via Damon Dash's imprint DD172. With Ski Beatz handling most of the production, Curren$y's Pilot Talk album was released in July 2010 with Pilot Talk II appearing shortly thereafter. On February 1, 2011, Curren$y signed a label deal with Warner Bros. Records for his imprint Jet Life Recordings. Covert Coup was his first project on the Jet Life Recordings imprint under Warner Bros. The album contained 10 songs completely produced by The Alchemist and was released on April 20th for free.
