In 2016, the rapper issued over a dozen mixtapes, including collaborative efforts with the Alchemist (The Carrollton Heist), Purps (Bourbon Street Secrets), and Sledgren (Revolver). The self-releases continued into 2017, with the Jetlanta EP and The Fo20 Massacre, followed by The Marina (Jet Life) EP in 2018.
February 2019 saw the release of 2009, a collaboration with Wiz Khalifa that revisited the creative chemistry of the duo's decade-old How Fly project. Not long after, Curren$y issued two more collaborative efforts, working with Statik Selektah on Gran Turismo and with Berner on Pheno Grigio. #Curren$y pilot talk trilogy track list series#.#Curren$y pilot talk trilogy track list professional#.For backpackers and underground fans, it’s a must, but anyone who wants their hip-hop both a bit stranger and a lot deeper will fall hard for this one. Much praise must be thrown the way of Ski Beatz, who handles all but two of the tracks here but still comes up with a varied set of productions that are both innovative and infectious.
So many fast and smart rhymes flow out of the man during “Breakfast” that track demands repeat listens and when he sets the flippant tone with “I’m so sorry if I don’t look excited to be here/In your label office, but they said I can’t smoke weed here,” guests Mos Def and Jay Electronica follow suit, making “The Day” a prime candidate for underground rapper anthem of 2010. The key cut must be the spacy roller called “King Kong” where the rapper revisits his pilot obsession and talks of swatting them out of the sky with more precision than that ten-story ape (by the mighty “Address” he’s got “Crooks in my neck from watching all the jets”). In other words, it introduces newcomers to the Currensy mixtape experience, which isn’t a bad thing whatsoever. Currensy’s third effort came with wider distribution than his earlier two, but rather than act like a second chance at a spotlight debut, Pilot Talk is a featured-filled album with plenty of tracks that will be familiar to anyone who keeps up on their Internet leaks.
