Curren$y keeps busy in 2011 making sure I have plenty of music to get stoned to

Last year was a banner year for New Orleans’ own Curren$y, with both of his albums Pilot Talk and Pilot Talk II receiving critical praise and dozens of hours of play time during my smoke sessions. As we all know, Curren$y is a hard-working fella, and it looks like 2011 will be another great year for the mellowed-out, dope-smoking MC.

Curren$y has already released a new mixtape, Return to the Winner’s Circle, a follow-up to 2008’s Welcome to the Winner’s Circle that features Curren$y doing what he does best over tracks like Rick Ross’ “Live Fast, Die Young” and Raekwon’s “Rainy Dayz.” If you feel so inclined, and I know you will, you can download the album at Nah Right.

Curren$y has also just recently become a member of the Asylum/Warner Brothers family, so now that he’s hit the big time (if he hadn’t already hit it before), the young rapper has announced yet another mixtape on the way, paving the way for two official albums. On April 19, Covert Coup (the second mixtape of the year) will be released through digital means and features production by the one and only Alchemist. Furthermore, while there are no release dates set in stone yet, Curren$y is also working on Pilot Talk III and a second new album, Muscle Car Chronicles.

Lastly, and sure to make Curren$y’s life busier than it already is, the MC has announced a North American tour that kicks off April 20 (Curren$y’s favorite day). Just in case you ask, the venues for the tour have NOT been announced yet, so stop bothering me about them. Just be patient, I’m sure that Curren$y is going to be playing somewhere cool.
