Ski spoke to Complex about the studio chemistry he has with Spitta, as well as future projects:
“Dame was like, ‘Yo, you need to come to my house. There’s this rapper Curren$y, he’s dope.’ I didn’t know anything about him. I was totally out of the loop when it comes to anything new. So I went to his crib and saw this little dude sitting on a beanbag with a hat on, getting high. [Laughs.] He was like, ‘What’s up man? I’m Curren$y.’ ‘I’m Ski.’ He said, ‘You did “Luchini.” I always wanted to work with you.’ I said, ‘Let’s do it.’ Since he was from down south, I thought, ‘Oh shit, I’ve got to make some down south beats.’ And he said, ‘Nah man, just do what you do. Make the music you make. I’m not as young as I look.’ That’s what he said, and it was an instant [connection]. That was before we [had DD172]. Back then we were doing everything out of Dame’s crib. As a matter of fact, we met him then we went to Woodstock, and we started recording. And that’s where ‘King Kong’ and ‘Scaling The Building’ and all of these songs came from. That was only a year ago.”

Wow. Spitta’s doing work. Three songs already for Pilot Talk 3 and Pilot Talk 2 doesn’t even come out until next week. A May release would be insane. That would be 3 albums in less than a year and possibly a mixtape too. Keep at it Spitta.

Pilot Talk 1 was dope as hell, you’re saying Part 2 is even better?
red said this on November 19th, 2010 at 2:51 pm

LISTENING TO PILOT TALK2 RIGHT NOW !!!
WAY BETTER THAN 1
I LIKE CURREN$Y AND I WAS DISAPPOINTED BY 1 but 2 !?!?!?!
THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE NUCCA!
ILLY said this on November 19th, 2010 at 3:06 pm
i think 1 was just as dope if not doper..the problem was everybody had heard quite a few songs on it b4 release so ppl werent shocked by the newness where as pt2 has been pretty much underraps making the experience more new. suum times leaks are like watching a movie n knowing the ending.

PT2>PT1….PT 2 is overall, a better, more solid project. Just the right amount of features, chill ass (timeless) beats… the signature spitta spits ovcourse.. and fuck. its just outstanding..I was kinda dissapointed by PT1 mainly coz of all the features, i guess. Yeah sure, the ski production was ill. but I just think PT2 wins due2 its fantastic coherence and structure…i didn’t feel PT1 had the same consistancy in terms of the flow of the tracks. 2 was well thought through IMO… As an entire project it has major replay value..
HermesThiefGod said this on November 19th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
Word, I know I’ll be buying the CD, so I’m trying to put off downloading the leak.
I want to hear PT2 so badly though.
red said this on November 19th, 2010 at 4:08 pm
I’d like to everyone who is a fan of Curren$y to purchase the album if you can.
red said this on November 19th, 2010 at 4:13 pm

G said this on November 19th, 2010 at 4:18 pm
pilot talk 2 is smooth as hell. bumped it all day at work today. i feel like it might be better than pilot talk 1 by a little at least. spitta with ski beatz production is great. plus i feel like pilot talk 1 just dropped and we have 2 already. i mean even if you don’t fuck with spitta, you gotta admire his hustle. the nigga is consistent.
