unofficial import on colored vinyl - Pilot Talk IV on one side, Highest in Charge on the other - Unlike past Pilot Talks, the fourth is produced entirely by Ski Beatz, producer of illustrious tracks like Jay-Z’s “Dead Presidents” and past tapes. His production is on full display while riding a vibe that gives Curren$y a level stage to deliver solid tracks buoying on his lyricism.
Pilot Talk IV is jazzier than most of Curren$y’s projects this year; it adds definition to the percussion with luminous and lax vibes, along with the array of layers from the horn and wind sections makes the album a smooth flight from start to finish. It emboldens its cultural influences, which derive from prominent music in Louisianna – particularly, NOLA.
