Live reviews
Shante Scott Franklin better known by his stage name Curren$y is an American rapper from New Orleans who is quickly becoming one of the most likeable performers on the hip hop circuit. Away from the music, he is known to be one of the most personable artists currently touring as he attempts to build rapport with every member of the audience.
There are stories of him looking after dehydrated patrons, calling fans who couldn't make it from the stage and serenading individual audience members. He also has a fantastic ability to entertain the masses with his likeable and enthusiastic personality. Add into the equation his high quality music and you have a star assured for international domination.
Having a discography that stands at four official albums and two independent releases, the young rapper performs sets of over twenty tracks in length yet the energy and pace never dips. The audience is dancing and singing along to the unpredictable star's entire show and when the final beats of 'Jet Life' fade the whole crowd is yearning for more.

I had only seen a few videos of Curren$y's performances, so I was going into this without knowing what his energy would be like. After arriving and waiting for what seemed like forever to see Curren$y perform, when he came out to do his set, the crowd immediately got excited. He came out and was suprised to see the energy throughout the building. The whole time, he was making eye contact, between songs he would talk to the people out in the crowd (not just the front) and make jokes, he even held someone's phone and spoke with someone on FaceTime that was unable to make it out. He's extremely personable. And song, in and out, the songs sounded very good, live and all. No doubt when he comes back out, I'll be in attendance.

Curren$y was Awsome. He is a true stage preformer. As soon as he walked out he energized and took complete control over the crowd. Majority of the concert was a cappella, which brought that true feel of hip hop and recognition for his music. Most artists couldn't rock it a cappella, their fans wouldn't have followed along; the fans at this show damn near out rapped Curren$y through how loud and how knowledgeable of the lyrics we were. Overall Curren$y's performance was Awsome. Absolutely no shine taken away from any of these performers; I have seen the likes of: Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Toro Y Moi, Devin the Dude, and Curren$y has the best live performance. The best show I have seen so far.

This was literally the best concert I've ever been to. Hes an artist you can reach out and touch he is not Hollywood at all one of the coolest ppl I've ever met. he played every single song you expected and wanted him to play. The most energetic show I've ever been to. Definetly worth the money you spend. My head is buzzing from how much fun I had.

TY, Corner Boy P and Curren$y had us LIT!!! I enjoyed the show from beginning to end! We were given a show. Didn't leave venue until 1:30am. Well worth being at work exhausted this morning. Thinking I may go see him in Milwaukee again tonight. Only an hour away!!! #JetLife!

Guess there wasn't that many day 1 Curren$y fans in the building. We had to wait 3 hrs and listen to 4-5 opening acts. Security guy kept taking people joints. He performed a short set and seemed like the vibe wasn't so good. Oh and he brought Cornerboy P.

Yooo...concert was lit!!! Curren$y and Wiz have the best chemistry! I was really close to the front so I had a great view of everything. It was almost surreal seeing Spitta that close up (getting to see all of his facial expressions was priceless)!!!
