New Orleans emcee, Curren$Y blessed his fans with another project on Friday (December 24), continuing his Pilot Talk series with its fourth installment. The project is entirely produced by legendary producer Ski Beatz, who crafted Jay-Z’s Dead “Presidents II.”

The 10-track album is Spitta and Ski’s first collaboration in over half a decade following their work on 2015’s Pilot Talk III. But that isn’t the only long-awaited reunion found on the record.

Pilot Talk 4 features a guest verse from fellow New Orleans rapper, Jay Electronica, on the track “AD6” where the two trade verses for the first time in over a decade. The pair previously teamed up alongside Yasiin Bey (f.k.a. Mos Def) on 2010’s “The Day” from the first Pilot Talk installment.

Before the album dropped, Curren$y took to Twitter Thursday night, praising Jay Electronica for his stellar performance on the album. 

“J A Y E L E C T R O N I C A lost his mind … glad we’re buddies man…dude is out of control with rap,” he wrote. “Thanks for the verse man… you are a source of motivation for me man…I’ll carry this inspiration into 2022 and bring it@to the studio errrday let’s fuckin go.. #pilottalk4.”

However, some fans were disappointed to discover that Jay Electronica’s verse was missing from streaming services. According to Spitta, Jay’s verse was added to the album at the last-minute and the full version will be released for all to enjoy in the next few days.

“The Jay Elec verse got mixed and added to the album a few hours ago,” he explained. “Hopefully it makes the album at drop time…. if not it’ll show up within a few days u know how day shit go.”

Pilot Talk 4 is Spitta’s eighth solo album released in 2021, following the projects, Highest in Charge, Still Stoned on Ocean, and the Regatta EP with Harry Fraud. The Jet Life captain has plenty more in store for 2022, including joint projects with legendary producers The Alchemist and Jermaine Dupri.
