In this episode of Calm Before The Storm, we go backstage with rapper Curren$y. He talks about the importance of being authentic and writing about actual life experiences, because it allows people to relate to his music. Additionally, he reminisces about attending numerous concerts with his mother as a child. Out of all the concerts he attended, he specifically recalls attending a Marvin Gaye concert that inspired his performance style. Curren$y was captivated by Marvin Gaye's ability to connect with the audience and his mastery of working the audience. At that moment, he knew "that was the way to do it".
