Curren$y delivers “Still” video with Trademark and Young Roddy
The prolific New Orleans rapper, Curren$y is also known as the Hot Spitta. Also, he’s known for his effortless flow and vivid storytelling. He has just released the official music video for “Still,” a standout track from his latest album, Weekend at Burnie’s. Featuring his Jet Life crew members Trademark da Skydiver and Young Roddy, the video perfectly encapsulates the laid-back, yet sharp aesthetic that has become synonymous with Curren$y’s music.
Curren$y began his career as a member of the 504 Boyz. They were signed to Master P’s No Limit Records. When the group disbanded, Curren$y landed with Lil Wayne as the first Young Money artist.

Thus, showing off the unbreakable bond that has driven their success. For fans of Curren$y, this video is a reaffirmation of what makes the Jet Life movement so special—authenticity, resilience, and an unyielding dedication to the craft.
Jet Life is the movement Curren$y founded in 2009. This move happened a few years after he decided to leave Young Money. Despite remaining on good terms with Lil Wayne, Curren$y decided the situation wasn’t for him. After that, he signed a deal with Dame Dash, where he released Pilot Talk, his third album, last year. When he exited that deal, Curren$y decided to take his career into his own hands. Now, his label, officially titled Jet Life Recordings, is partnered with Warner Bros. Records.

The video’s simplicity allows the music to take center stage, with the visuals serving to complement rather than overshadow the lyrical content.
Trademark da Skydiver and Young Roddy’s presence in the video is understated yet impactful. Their verses flow seamlessly with Curren$y’s. Thus, creating a cohesive narrative that highlights the synergy between the three artists. Also, laid-back vibe of the video mirrors the effortless cool of the song. As a result, making it a perfect visual accompaniment to one of the album’s standout tracks.

Curren$y has gone from being a feature artist, who appears on album cuts for major artists to being a mogul. While he may not have a commanding superstar style like Lil Wayne, Curren$y has a major label deal with Warner, just like Rick Ross. As a result, Curren$y is far from being another artist. He’s an owner just like all of the other moguls. With that in mind, he’s made boss moves that include signing Fiend. That’s no small accomplishment, as Fiend turned down Jay-Z and Roc Nation for Jet Life.
