Kudos to Curren$y!
The BitTorrent Bundle for the New Orleans rapper's latest release The Drive-In Theatre recently reached the 3 million download milestone.
The BitTorrent Bundle accounted for 93 percent of downloads for The Drive-In Theatre, a landslide compared to DatPif, which only accounted for 7 percent of overall downloads.
In less than two weeks, The Drive-In Theatre has become an internet sensation.
Curren$y's longtime manager and COO of Jet Life Recordings, Mousa Hamdan, recently spoke out about the success of Curren$y's most recent project.
"We're yet to see the full impact of The Drive-In Theatre, but judging from the first two weeks and the number of downloads we're seeing everyday, I think this will have a huge impact on our Jet Life movement and the direction of mixtape culture as a whole," Hamdan said. "I believe our formula has been, and will be, studied and mimicked by artists in the future."
The 14-track tape features appearances by Young Roddy, Trademark da Skydiver, Cornerboy P, Smoke Dza and more. The Drive-In Theatre also includes trademark production from Thelonious Martin, Nesby Phips, Cardo, etc.
Curren$y also made a huge announcement for fans anxious to see him perform live. The Hot Spitta and his Jet Life crew have officially announced the first official Curren$y-curated official SXSW Jet Life showcase.
"Curren$y is one of the few artists that has maintained a steady underground buzz for years," Austin Briggs, Jet Life's digital marketing strategist said. "We've taken that buzz and turned it to eleven. And we're seeing the response."
So if you're heading down to Austin, make sure you check out Curren$y and the Jet Life crew performing live March 15 at Red 7.
