Curren$y, much like all of you out there, is a super busy dude. Unlike most of you's, however, the man born Shante Scott Franklin is busy dropping rap music and videos at an alarming rate.

In the last month alone, Franklin, 35, has given us a taste of his new mixtape, dropped an Erykah Badu sample, released the instrumentals for said mixtape, showed up with Migos, released a video for "Canal Street Boys," and something with Rick Ross ("Dope Boys").

On Sunday night he arrived in Ybor — a town he is not unfamiliar with — to perform a set for the hip hop heads.

Brian Mahar was on hand, and has these photos to share.
