Shante Anthony Franklin (born April 4, 1981 in New Orleans, Louisiana), better known by his stage name Curren$y, is an American rapper and former member of the group.
Currensy officially announced the release of The Stoned Immaculate, this second release on Warner Bros. Records, on November 11, 2011.[1] It was first set to be released in March/April 2012 but was pushed back to May 22 and finally to June 5. On March 10, 2012, Currensy announced he officially completed the album.[7][8]
That being said The Stoned Immaculate isn't an album to be slept on. It features all the attributes you'd look for in a release from 'the hot spitta' and should be ranked amongst the top of his discography.

Currensy explained during an interview with HipHopDX that The Stoned Immaculate was more complicated to record than his previous albums, and noted that he had finished off past projects in only a few days: 'Just from working with more people. I did more traveling than I usually do when I’m working on a project. I did Weekend at Burnie's in Miami with Monsta Beatz in two days. With this one I moved around. I was in L.A. with Daz, in Miami with Pharrell, and I recorded some of the records in New York and shit. That’s really the only difference, the music and my mindset is still the same,'[9] The album featured West Coast artist and producer, Daz Dillinger, which Currensy explained 'I tried to find Daz a few times on Twitter but that didn’t really work out. One time in a meeting with Warner [Bros. Records] I brought up his name and asked them to try find Daz for me. A couple days after the meeting I got his e-mail and we smoked, burned it down, made sure everything was cool and did some work.'[10]
The title of the album is reference to lyrics from the song 'The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)' by American rock band The Doors, off of their 1971 album release L.A. Woman. In the track, lead singer Jim Morrison sings 'Out here on the perimeter there are no stars/Out here we is stoned – immaculate.'
