Like friend and frequent collaborator Wiz Khalifa, he's become one of the dominant voices in the rap underground by making a form of unassuming stoner-rap that owes virtually nothing to J Dilla. Over a few years' worth of heavy mixtape-circuit work, he's become a great rapper with his own aesthetic- he's a nimble, affectless drawler who favors airy, spaced-out beats. And he presumably did it so he could clear his own path, rapping about the stuff he actually cared about. But he left the label just as Wayne was becoming the most popular rapper in the world. The New Orleans rapper got his start in Master P's then-waning No Limit empire, then jumped to Cash Money, playing foil and second banana to Lil Wayne during Wayne's historic mixtape run a few years back. Curren$y's also had a weird, bounced-around career.
