Curren$y had an underground hit in 2006, Where Da Cash At, which can be heard on several of Lil' Wayne's mixtapes, including Dedication 2. He was featured on Lil Wayne's song "Grown Man" from the album Tha Carter II. Due to certain issues concerning the release of his album Music 2 Fly 2, he left Young Money and formed his Fly Society crew with professional skateboarder and rapper Terry Kennedy.
He has since focused on his Jets movement, which helped introduce various rappers such as Trademark da Skydiver, Young Roddy, Fendi P and T.Y., as well as slightly reintroduce No Limit veteran Fiend to new audiences. He later started to work in New York with Ski Beatz and other MCs at Dame Dash's DD172; where he released Pilot Talk and its sequel Pilot Talk II both in 2010, and was also featured on several songs on Ski Beatz' 24 Hour Karate School. Since then, Curren$y has put out eight more albums, 25 EPs and 43 mixtapes.

Fool
Spitta' get this whole shit jumpin' like
Kangaroo pouch Louis Vuitton
The small things keep me different from these fools
Pull my draw strings
Keep my sweats off of my shoes
I'm a dog mang keep my paws clean
I ain't fuckin' with you at all
Lames is your whole set
Please don't recognize y'all
Independent acrobatic
Make that loo somersault
Rememberin' my license
And restrictions in my moms car
Came a long way
But I don't got time to be
Sittin' at the dock of the bay
Wastin' every second
Money can be made out a rhyme
I can do it on the dime
Kick the shit out the beat until it die
Call C.S.I.
I got um runnin' scared tryna catch up
57 heinz Gregory the dance legend
Make music I'm steppin' out
At a major event
Best dressed in attendance
And I never left the house
Right back at it
Like the Pilot get the pot
We can get it crackin' in here
Audio Dope
We track traffickin'
And they askin' for mo is you back again?
And I ain't talking bout practice no mo.
When it's game time show me to the stove
Audio dope
Yea nigga we track traffickin'
They askin' for mo is you back again?
Greens rolled under the gazzibo
Lemonade level vodka
Badgamon playin' Keno
Musical Mafia
Loaded bases bring my Team home I'm the great bambino
Roulette wheels in the casino
Fat max scammin' off the top
But that's the game we in
What you gone do about it huh?
Sacrifice and hit the independent prolly not?
They not like me.
That's why they don't like me
Me I'm like Lee
In my trilla in between
Scenes got the feature girl from the video full of weed
Break your foot tryna kick it like I kick it
Kill yourself tryna live how I'm livin'
Spitta'
Right back at it
Like the Pilot get the pot
We can get it crackin' in here

(All around the world the same song
Cali buzz strong it's that love phase gone
So high tell my neighbors thought I moved out
Because your boy stays gone
Now tell me that I ain't got it
And then keep a straight face punk!)

Yep this from when he was signed to Dame Dash's short lived label DD172. Spitta released Pilot Talk 1 & 2 while on the label, and later had to take Dame to court to try and get the rights to the albums, he also was able to get a couple million in the lawsuit. Jay Elec was also featured on Pilot Talk so that's prolly when this pic was taken.
