Denzel Curry Blazes Through Lil Durk’s “AHHH HA” On L.A. Leakers Freestyle
It’s been a fruitful year in rap so far with plenty of incredible releases including Denzel Curry’s Melt My Eyez See Your Future. The latest from the Florida rapper arrived in March with appearances from 6lack, JID, Rico Nasty, and more. And while it was a strong, cohesive body of work, it was another reminder of how good of a rapper Denzel Curry is.
This week, the rapper slid through to Power 106 for an L.A. Leakers freestyle that he absolutely destroys. The rapper kicks off over Lil Durk’s “AHHH HA” which dives deeper into his competitive spirit in rap. He weaves the production with fierce lyricism while issuing a warning to his competition. “You lookin’ at the future, my n***a, you can’t escape it/ You rather wait for n***as to die to say I’m the greatest,” he raps.
The second beat Denzel tackles is Jeezy’s “I’m Just Sayin.” “I gotta murder everything I’m touchin’, you feel me?” He says before completely obliterating the beat.
Check out the latest installment in L.A. Leakers freestyle series with Denzel Curry below.

Lookin’ up to the GOATs and no, I’ll never degrade ’em
But didn’t Kobe admire Jordan before he played him?
When Ali was the champ, wasn’t Frazier callin’ to fade him?
You beef the best to be the best, my ultimatum

Klay Thompson Hilariously Roasts Steph Curry For Crying On The Court
Today was a very special one for the Golden State Warriors and their fanbase. After defeating the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals, the Warriors got to have their parade in the streets of San Francisco. Championship parades are a tradition in every single sport, so it should come as no surprise that the Warriors were going to show up and show out for the fans in San Francisco.
In the past, the team has been able to celebrate their championships in Oakland, but with the team moving to San Fran, you can imagine just how excited some of the fans were to attend this event.

As for the Warriors players, they were more than enthusiastic about the proceedings. One person who was loving the attention was none other than Klay Thompson, who decided to make some jokes at Steph Curry’s expense.
After winning the title on Thursday, Curry broke down in tears while the game was still being played. With that visual fresh in Klay’s mind, he decided to roast Steph by saying “Who cries on the basketball court?”
Curry ended up taking the jokes like a champ as he laughed hysterically at it all. The crowd most definitely loved it and it was yet another example of just how tight-knit this Warriors dynasty is.
