Curren$y’s Warner Bros. Deal Confirmed, Announces Tour & Alchemist Mixtape

Warner Bros. ended fan speculation and rumors  today by confirming that Curren$y has signed to the label.

The prolific New Orleans emcee has released a fusillade of mixtapes over the last three years, including seven tapes in 2008 alone. Last year, he released the albums Pilot Talk and Pilot Talk II.

According to Warner Bros., the album series helped Curren$y gross over $750,000 in touring proceeds for 2010. In addition, the projects boasted sales of 40,000 and 30,000 respectively.

Under the Asylum/Warner Bros. signing, Curren$y retains his Jets International imprint. The first project will be a mixtape collaboration with Alchemist entitled Covert Coup. The release date is scheduled for April 19 on iTunes, and functions as a precursor to Curren$y’s 4/20 start date for his two month nationwide tour.

At press time, Curren$y is also working on his fifth and sixth studio albums: Muscle Car Chronicles and Pilot Talk III.  Confirmed tour dates are listed below.
