I‘m amazed that skating is like walking out there and everybody has clothing lines or a boutique out there. There was always a presence but you had to go lookin’ for it.
Yeah man from day one! It’s just that being here (N.O.) it’s not that many outlets. So tell me about the role you play in that, were you always a skater and into that culture?
Let’s talk about that because I think the last thing people associate New Orleans hip-hop with is streetwear and skateboarding. This the founding office! New Orleans right here with me. Then I come home and do everything from right here. so we put together a group out there too Fly Society West. That’s my man, I set up Fly Society West with him and he put one of his homies- actually his cousin- H.I.T. Now from there I got the Fly Society West that I gave to Terry Kennedy. I couldn’t just be me and say “I wanna save the city!” So I came up with my company Fly Society. I needed an umbrella to be under to make all them moves. So just to make a way for that and help skatin’ grow in my city. That was when my Cash Money situation was lookin’ prosperous, so I put that together for all my homies from the city so that they would have a ticket, be it through the clothing line or be it through niggas from New Orleans who’re skatin’ ‘cause now I see that they got a lot of kids skatin’ out here. I figured with me being “on” that it would be a good thing for me to set up a label. Then we decided we might as well start knockin’ some music out ‘cause I had some homies from the city that get down and they just needed some situations too. first it was gonna be a streetwear brand/clothing line that I was puttin’ together and my homeboy Terry Kennedy (Ice Cream skate team) was helping me to get skate teams involved in the brand. Regrouped and refocused, Curren$y got with OnSmash to talk about Fly Society, streetwear, New Orleans skate culture and bouncing from the house that Baby built.įly Society is a company I started a year ago. In December of 2007 The Hot Spitta let his fans know via MySpace that he’d left Young Money/Cash Money to focus his own endeavor, Fly Society. The video got played on outlets like BET but then months passed with no album apparently, his debut was somewhere behind the long-delayed Carter III in the YM release schedule. 2006 saw the release of video for “Where The Cash At,” the first single from his debut LP Music 2 Fly 2. After getting shine on The Carter II and Weezy’s Dedication 2, Curren$y was supposed to be the next round in the Young Money clip. Originally down with the No Limit and Master P’s 504 Boyz, he parted ways with N.O.’s first hip-hop giant and linked up with Lil’ Wayne’s Young Money/Cash Money in 2005. Considered one of the best lyricists to come out of New Orleans, he’s seen his share of false starts.
