Curren$y – Pilot Talk 1
Released: 13 July 2010
Pilot Talk 1 is the album that turned me into a Curren$y supporter. Prior to Pilot Talk 1, I did not understand Curren$y’s rhyme-style and was generally unimpressed by his work. However, the chemistry between him and Ski Beatz on this album connected the dots for me. Years later, and I’ve listened to the large majority of Curren$y’s discography! This is the album that started it all for me.
Salute to Dame Dash!
