On songs like ‘Froze’ which features production by Harry Fraud and has claps laid over a soft string instrument and features Riff Raff with his usual buffoonery and choppy rhyme scheme. At times, the album undoubtedly takes strides to become more than a follow-up and to set itself apart. He clearly enjoys his lifestyle and it is his level of content that make all the lifestyle talk about smoking, luxury and women sound like they mean more to him than your typical commercial grade rapper. He elongates the last syllable of each bar on the chorus and they fall supremely into their place amidst the peaceful notes of some horns.
The album opens to the soothing hymn of a well chosen sample and introduces some brassy horns and bass on, ‘Opening Credits’ and it segways into the smoked-out thoughts of Curren$y on a typical morning on the second track ‘Long as the Lord Say’. Production is again helmed largely by the knowledgeable Ski Beatz who seems to know all too well how to make Curren$y comfortable on a beat. This album is a return to the jazzy-soulful vibes and overall beautiful production of his first two entries in this series.
Now, after five years of continued Spitta releases unrelated to the two-part series, a trilogy reveals itself in the form of Pilot Talk 3. In 2010, he released both part one and part two to positive feedback. To this day, even with the vast array of options, many Curren$y fans and even those not overly fond of his relaxed, comfortable style would say his best work lies within the Pilot Talk album series. He has used his time since leaving Cash Money Records to drop a seemingly endless amount of music in the form of EP’s and mixtapes that gained a respectable number of followers, especially resonating with the marijuana indulgent folks out there. If there was one emcee out today who embodied and personified the previous statement, it would likely be New Orleans artist, Curren$y. Often times in the music realm, consistency is synonymous with relevance and even success.
