I've been getting a lot of comments from people saying that Mr. Marcelo IS Curren$y's brother. In this video, I said that he wasn't because Curren$y HIMSELF in an interview said he wasn't his blood brother. He says this at the 1:15 mark of this interview. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rQbUwsNdfuc.html

@KDThreeSixty 10 месяцев назад

I actually got into his music pretty early in my life because he appeared on a couple tracks with my uncle. Then I heard weekend at Bernie’s in the rap channel. Once I heard him again on how fly it was a wrap for me. He's probably my all time favorite due to his insane work ethic.

@kamakaze098 Год назад

Curren$y was the rapper to get me out of my "I only listen to classic hip-hop" phase. Heard him in 08' and been a fan since. Only thing that kinda bothers me is his new slow almost slurring flow.

I remember hearing She's on my Mind and thinking he was funny, and giving the mixtape a listen and being kinda shocked that he was a background guy for so long with his talent. 2008 was a good year, I had just graduated high school and I remember getting high and listening to Curren$y a lot with all the new music he had coming out. I remember right after How Fly came out there was a Wiz Khalifa concert and I went hoping Curren$y would be there haha, there were like 15 people at that concert, including me and my friends.
