Which is really refreshing in a time where being turnt and making stripper cheerleader music is still the de facto vibe.
On tracks such as “Get Down” bass licks and keyboards give the album at some moments a lounge feel. The jazz/boom-bap/funk hybrid style that Ski has perfected through the years perfectly compliments Spitta’s trademark couch-locked style. Ski seems to have totally figured out his partner-in-crime’s ear and the production from him creates some of the albums highlights. This being the third time they have worked together on a major project its clear that of the many rapper/producer tandems that Curren$y has created (Spitta/Alchemist, Spitta/Monstabeats, Spitta/Harry Fraud) this one remains the best.
This creates some really lush and vivid lyrics that aren’t loaded with ideas but loaded in their imagery.īut the true magic of the album is the combination of producer Ski Beats and Spitta’s lazy flow. Where a normal rapper says “I’m riding clean”, Spitta says things like “Ferrari’s 40-yard dashin’// vanishin’ behind gated mansions.” Curren$y is basically to cars and marijuana what Drake is to emotions. In previous endeavors what made the New Orleans MC a draw (beyond his stoner roots) is his hyper acute attention to detail. With this previous knowledge its easy to get into Pilot Talk 3 for a fan but a new listener might not easily get the allure. Even with such a simple formula Pilot Talk 2 remains a personal favorite and hasn’t left my musical rotation since its release five years ago. The album is usual Pilot Talk fare, loaded with weed, women and low-riders. Stuff like that is cool for the super-fan or collectors, but I think the vast majority of the masses just want the music. Downloading was widely available but a physical copy ran $100 and included a flash drive (that held the album itself) a t-shirt and a exclusive look book. Curren$y, also known as Spitta, spent majority of 2015 promoting the unique distribution of the album. One of the most consistent artists in the game right now, Curren$y, finally released the latest installment of his lauded Pilot Talk series. Sorry for the super long hiatus, but I gave up WP and Twitter for Lent *shrug* I’m back now.
