A standard 4 iron is about 24 degrees of loft. Hybrids tend to hit the ball higher and land the ball softer than a long iron. Therefore, hybrids may have a slightly stronger loft than the irons they replace. Most 4 iron replacement hybrids are 22-24 degrees of loft.
One I would recommend is the 2005 Cobra Baffler(there are several older models) 23 degree 4/R(4 iron replacement) with the Aldila HL graphite shaft. They are "stooopid-easy" to hit.
