History
2011-present: Jet World Order and Jet World Order 2
Trademark Da Skydiver and Young Roddy first appeared in collaboration with long-time friend and mentor
Curren$y on his album "Pilot Talk." Since then, he has referred to them as his Jet Life Crew, with the
addition of new members in 2011. The name of the group is a term that Curren$y and The JETS often use to
describe the "high life" that they claim to live. This life is marked by an extravagant lifestyle and also alludes
to their glorified use of marijuana, both of which are evident in Jet Lifes lyrics.[2] The acronym J.E.T.S.
stands for "Just Enjoy This Shit", and furthermore exemplifies the crews carefree and positive perspective
on life. The acronym was first popularized by Curren$y. Jet Life calls their style "luxury rap", in which they
rap about their everyday lifestyle and things they do. The JETS are also known to be "weed-rappers"; titles
of their songs include "Paper Habits," "Smoke Break," and "We Get High."[3]
On February 1, 2011, Curren$y signed to major record label Warner Bros. Records, becoming the CEO of
his imprint Jet Life Recordings. Curren$y's long-time companions Trademark Da Skydiver and Young Roddy
were immediately the first signees on board Jet Life Recordings, shortly followed by Fiend, Street Wiz, and
Monsta Beatz. On October 23, 2011, Curren$y signed major artist Sir Michael Rocks of The Cool Kids to Jet
Life Recordings. Three days later, on October 26, long-time collaborator Smoke DZA joined the label as
well.[4] In March 2011, original Jet Life members Trademark Da Skydiver and Young Roddy paired up to
release the first project from members of the Jet Life collective. The duo released a free online mixtape titled

"Jet Life To The Next Life," produced by Cookin Soul, in March 2011.[5] The project features Curren$y on
four tracks entitled "Spitta Intro", "Jet Set", "No Days Off", and "Jet Life to the Next Life." The mixtape has
all original production. Curren$y's solo project entitled "Covert Coup"[6][7] produced entirely by The
Alchemist, was the produced under the new label in April 2011, with individual features from Jet Life
members Smoke DZA and Fiend. Smoke DZA and producer Harry Fraud released "Rugby Thompson" via
High Times Records/Cinematic Music Group in April 2012 which received positive views from music
magazine XXL, among other critics.[8]
Curren$y presented Jet Lifes debut album, "Jet World Order",[9][10] on November 29, 2011 via Jets
International and iHipHop Distribution. Both Trademark Da Skydiver and Young Roddy appear on every
track. Curren$y appears on three tracks entitled "Exhale," "Excellent," and "1st Place." The sole single from
the album was "1st Place" produced by Show Off, which released on iTunes on November 2, 2011.[11] Other
features include Jet Life members Nesby Phips, Sir Michael Rocks, Smoke DZA, Corner Boy P, Fiend, and
Street Wiz. The album placed on the years Billboard 200 at number 148 in the United States. The album
also charted Billboard at #25 for Hip-Hop/R&B Albums and #3 for Heatseekers Albums.[12] In late July
2012, Curren$y revealed the name of two upcoming Jet Life projects in an interview with AllHipHop.com.
The first is titled "Curren$y presents: New Jet City," which will be headed by Curren$y and will feature the
Jet Life Crew. Curren$y says the album will be a compilation, but Young Roddy will "take the wheel." The
other project was Jet Life's second studio album, "Jet World Order 2" which was released on November 20,
2012.[13] The first single off of Jet Life's "Jet World Order 2" was "No Sleep".[14]
