Pilot Talk 4

The Jet Life boss took a six-year hiatus between installments of his cult-favorite *Pilot Talk* series (the third one dropped in 2015). On the fourth chapter, Curren$y gives the people what they want: a 10-track suite of high-end stoner rap, lush with picturesque sunsets, speedboat rides to dinner, and cars you can’t find at the dealership, delivered over silky-smooth jazz and soul samples courtesy of producer Ski Beatz. As the world descends into chaos, the ever-mellow MC is, you know, chilling: “I’m in the vault, listening to vinyl, appreciating art/As the value appreciates on my 1975 Porsche,” he spits on the expensive-sounding “Workers and Bosses.” And for the first time in 11 years, he connects with the elusive Jay Electronica, on “AD6,” where the pair rep their hometown: “New Orleans, where we still makin’ heaven out of the ghetto.”
