The man who helped build Curren$y's empire
Before the fame, accolades, and a whole lot of money. Currency had a manager who believed in him, the vision, and played his role to perfection. Now Musa Hamdan is a cofounder and chief operating officer of JetLife, which is a label, a clothing company who's worked with Reeboks, Pelicans, and even NASCAR. Musa was never the star. Star. He was a guy who refused to work for anybody else. At 17, he created his own record label, and this is a connection between him and Currency because Currency's brother, mister Marcelo, was signed no him. In 2002, Musa brought Jadakiss and Roughriders into Magnolia. And at that point, Currency knew who he wanted to work with. Twenty five years ago in 2001, Spitt assigned to Young Money, made one call to Musa asking him to be his manager. That same year, Katrina emptied out a building next to Musa's rim shop. So he leased it, turned it around, and created New Orleans Street customs and brought in Currency as his partner. When they went on the street dreams tour with Wayne and Jeezy, it was just them too. Musa had to handle the operations, the management, the wardrobe, everything. Around the same tier, currency came to Musa and told him that he wants to do his own thing. So they created JetLife, which started as a record label, turned into a clothing company, and is now a brand that even billion dollar entities work with. Through their own tier were selling out tours, selling their own merch, and they were learning how to cut out the middleman in every way possible. In 2015, they went direct to consumer and sold pilot rank three straight to their fan. In 2017, when the NBA all star weekend went into New Orleans, better life dropped their own shoe with Reebok at their own home. A year later, Reebok took them global. The merch just didn't stop there. It actually turned into a flagship store tier Canal Street and a partnership with NASCAR in 2024. Twenty one years later, same artist, same city, just the tier has gotten better. The brand partnerships all gotten bigger all because they both knew how to play their role to perfection. You don't have to be the star to make the millions. You just gotta be great at your role and watch the best start to stack. Let me know if you agree or disagree with me in the comments.
