Miami-area rapper Denzel Curry balances rhymes packed with intense and introspective content and an evolving production palette that can draw upon hazy cloud rap and classic hip-hop songcraft. After issuing a series of well-received mixtapes in the early 2010s, he made his official studio debut with 2013's underground favorite Nostalgic 64, later entering the charts for the first time with his 2018 major-label debut TA13OO. That May, Curry released "Percs," the lead single from his third album TA13OO. Split into three acts (Light, Gray, and Dark), the set marked Curry's first appearance on the charts, entering the Billboard 200 at number 28 upon release. TA13OO also featured the single "Clout Cobain" and appearances by GoldLink, J.I.D., and more. Following a viral 2019 cover of Rage Against the Machine's "Bulls on Parade" for Australian Triple J radio, Curry returned in May of that year with the single "Ricky." Named after his father, it was the first taste of his fourth album, Zuu, a summer-friendly set influenced by everything that made him, including his hometown, Miami bass music, local Florida rap icons such as Trick Daddy, Plies, and Trina, and his parents. The set debuted just outside the Top 30 and featured guests Rick Ross, Kiddo Marv, Ice Billion Berg, and more. 1930 |
