Denzel Curry And ASAP Rocky Team Up For The First Time On ‘Hoodlumz’ With PlayThatBoiZay

July 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Denzel Curry’s new album King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2 is out in just a few more days, and he’s keeping the hype train running with the punishing new single “Hoodlumz,” featuring PlayThatBoiZay and ASAP Rocky. UK producer Kwes Darko provides a suitably menacing and the three MCs reciprocate with some Killer Instinct Ultra combo flows, throwing punchy rhymes almost as fast as the listener can catch them.

Rocky’s appearance is notable, given the history between him and his host’s respective rap crews back in the early blog era from which both emerged. Rocky, a member of the New York-based ASAP Mob, and Denzel, who claimed the more diffuse but ostensibly Florida-oriented Raider Klan, would have been, if not outright enemies, then at least less than cordial back then.

Both groups were heavily influenced by both the Memphis trap sound and the Houston chopped-and-screwed sound, but neither wanted to share digital space with the other. Consider it a 2010s version of the “South Bronx” battle between MC Shan and Juice Crew vs. KRS-One and Boogie Down Productions over hip-hop’s original birthplace. Apparently, whatever issue Zel and Rocky had before has since been cleared up — although it should be noted, neither is really all that tight with their old crews anymore either.

“Hoodlumz” is the third single from King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2, following “Hot One” with TiaCorine and the former ASAP Ferg and “Black Flag Freestyle” with That Mexican OT.

Denzel Curry Lets Loose On ASAP Rocky-Assisted Banger “HOODLUMZ”

July 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Denzel Curry has attempted and excelled at so many styles it can be difficult to determine which version of him we’re going to get. The teaser tracks for his upcoming album have been varied in sound and vibe, but “HOODLUMZ,” the album’s latest single, is Zel at his most aggressive. The rapper links up with ASAP Rocky and PlayThatBoiZay for a banger that boils down the aggressive of Raider Klan and ASAP Mob to two electric minutes.

PlayThatBoiZay kicks “the song”HOODLUMZ” off, establishing a frantic rhyme scheme that makes the whole thing feel like half a minute instead of two (complimentary). ASAP Rocky holds down the third and final verse in typically stylish fashion. The beat, with its eerie synths and busy drum pattern, sounds like the sort of thing that would end up on Cozy Tapes, so it’s no surprise that Rocky blends perfectly. That being said, Denzel Curry is the main reason to listen to “HOODLUMZ.” The Florida rapper is sharp as ever with characteristically stellar bars. “Spinnin, now we lay ’em out the top. Capital punishment like we were backed by the government,” he raps. “Boys on my avenue runnin’ it.” The album can’t get here fast enough.

Denzel Curry Demolishes His Latest Posse Cut

Quotable Lyrics:

We made you history, ’cause we rewrote it
Wet up your body, that n**ga eroded
Move with emotion, you left with no motion
If it ain’t opps, what the f*ck am I smokin’?

Denzel Curry And That Mexican OT Delve Into 1990s Underground Rap On Their ‘Black Flag Freestyle’

June 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Denzel Curry’s new album King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2 comes out in a little less than a month, and today, he shared the next single to help build its buzz. “Black Flag Freestyle” features Bay City, Texas rapper That Mexican OT, fresh off his selection as a XXL Freshman, and was debuted via a gritty performance on From The Block filmed in Houston in front of the legendary Screwed Up Records & Tapes store.

So far, King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2 sounds like it’s a return to the Memphis trap sound that first launched Denzel’s career after his last album, Melt My Eyes, See Your Future, diverged into more therapeutic topics and sounds. The other single Denzel released, “Hot Ones,” also delved into dark samples from ’90s Memphis underground rap alongside TiaCorine and ASAP Ferg, another noted purveyor of the goth trap sound favored by the likes of Juicy J and Gimisum Family. Memphis underground legend Kingpin Skinny Pimp also appears on the tracklist, alongside Curry contemporaries like ASAP Rocky, Kenny Mason, Maxo Kream, Ski Mask the Slump God, and more.

Denzel Curry & That Mexican OT Shred A Nasty Trap Beat On “BLACK FLAG FREESTYLE”

June 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Denzel Curry now has one of the most hyped-up rap projects on deck with King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2. The follow-up mixtape to the 2012 original will drop on July 19 and will feature numerous heavy hitters. Fans can expect to hear Ty Dolla $ign, Juicy J, A$AP Ferg (FERG), TiaCorine, A$AP Rocky, and plenty more. So far, Zel has put forth five singles, with the first dating all the way back to August of last year. Now, Denzel Curry is up to number six with “BLACK FLAG FREESTYLE”.

Every song will have some guest performer in the fold, and on this one, it is That Mexican OT. The Texas rapper has had quite the last 12 months or so, dropping viral singles. However, this feature placement on “BLACK FLAG FREESTYLE” may be another springboard for him. This single is technically not out yet, as Denzel and OT linked up to perform it on the 4 Shooters Only YouTube series, “From The Block”. That being said, this track should be coming to streaming platforms shortly. Overall, this is another banger for Denzel, as him and OT make light work of a grimy and grim Southern trap instrumental that would have come from the Raider Klan days.

Listen To “BLACK FLAG FREESTYLE” By Denzel Curry & That Mexican OT

Quotable Lyrics:

Ayy, black flag all on my mic’ (On my mic’)
I been known to spend a lot like Bob Barker, the price is right (Hey)
Being broke my kryptonite (Huh), being rich my superpower (Huh)
Smokin’ on these bitter n****s, in my hood we call it sour (Want the smoke)
From the southside of FLA, been through Dade and Broward
Musty a** kush on me, smellin’ like a golden shower (The shower)

Denzel Curry’s In-Your-Face ‘Hot Ones’ Video With TiaCorine And Ferg Is A Block Invasion

June 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Denzel Curry’s aggressive new single “Hot One” gets a suitably gritty video today, as he, ASAP Ferg (who recently dropped the ASAP), and TiaCorine (fresh off her first-ever headlining tour) take over the block with their crew. Shot in the sort of grainy, lo-fi style of an early Memphis trap video or a mid-90s skate video, the visuals end up perfectly matching the tone of the song itself, which borrows and updates the sounds of early Three 6 Mafia classics. It even samples some old school Memphis rap from Gimisum Family, interpolating their 1993 track “Fear No Evil.”

“Hot One” will appear on Denzel’s upcoming album, King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2, which is slated for release on July 19 with features from 2 Chainz, Armani White, ASAP Rocky, Juicy J, Kenny Mason, Kingpin Skinny Pimp of Gimisum Family, Maxo Kream, Mike Dimes, Project Pat, That Mexican OT, and more. King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2 will drop two years after Curry’s last full-length release, Melt My Eyez See Your Future, and apparently find him returning to the combative aesthetics of his early music after the more introspective material on its predecessor.

Denzel Curry Announces “King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2:” What We Know

June 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Denzel Curry has officially announced his new album, King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2, alongside the release of a new single, “Hot One.” This highly anticipated sequel revisits the sound that initially propelled Curry into the spotlight. With the release of “Hot One,” it promises to deliver the same intensity and creativity fans have come to expect. With a mix of nostalgic homage and fresh innovation, Curry is set to redefine his musical landscape once again.

On The Radar Debut

In conjunction with the announcement of the project, Curry has released the FNZ and SkipOnDaBeat-produced single “Hot One,” featuring TiaCorine and A$AP Ferg. Curry debuted the track earlier this week during his “Mischievous Cypher” on On The Radar, alongside Ferg and Tia. The collaboration with Ferg is particularly notable, given their shared history and the creative exchange between A$AP Mob and Raider Klan in their early days.

“Hot One”

“Hot One” is a long-awaited collaboration between Curry and Ferg. The two have been pivotal forces in hip-hop in the last decade. However, the addition of TiaCorine serves as a co-sign for one of the most promising new artists. The track blends their unique styles, creating a breakout hit that captures the energy of summer. There’s no doubt that it sets the tone for the forthcoming album.

A Sequel To A Groundbreaking Project

King Of The Mischievous South Volume 2 sees Curry return to the roots of his career. The first installment, performed under his Raven Miyagi persona—a name given by Raider Klan founder SpaceGhostPurrp—was a pivotal moment in Curry’s early days. Now, Curry adopts his Big Ultra persona, an evolved and more confident version of Raven Miyagi. It reflects the success and growth he has experienced over the past decade.

Curry has been actively building anticipation for King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2. Recently, during a visit to New York City, he stopped by The Lot Radio and teased new material on his “Mischievous Radio” show with DJ Dylan Ali. Additionally, Curry engaged with fans on Instagram, revealing the project’s features and re-releasing the original King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 1 on SoundCloud, setting the stage for the upcoming sequel.

Honoring Southern Musical Heritage

Creating King Of The Mischievous South Volume 2 has been on Curry’s bucketlist. Earlier attempts at the project evolved into other significant works, such as his 2016 album “Imperial” and 2020’s 3LOOD 1N + 13LOOD OUT. It wasn’t until Curry ceased forcing the creation of Volume 2 that the songs began to emerge organically, culminating in the project now ready for release.

The sound of King Of The Mischievous South Volume 2 pays tribute to the rich musical traditions of the South, from Memphis to Houston to Curry’s native South Florida. The project features a stellar lineup of artists whose styles are deeply rooted in the Southern legacy. Contributors include Key Nyata, Juicy J, Project Pat, Maxo Kream, That Mexican OT, Mike Dimes, TiaCorine, 2 Chainz, Kenny Mason, Ski Mask The Slump God, PlayThatBoiZay, A$AP Ferg, and A$AP Rocky.

The Fun & Mastery Of Denzel Curry

Throughout his career, Curry has taken listeners on various conceptual journeys. With this project, he aims to showcase the fun, spontaneity, and technical prowess that have cemented his place as one of the most sought-after talents in rap over the past ten years. This project is a testament to Curry’s versatility and his ability to keep his audience engaged with fresh and dynamic content.

Denzel Curry Teams Up With TiaCorine And ASAP Ferg For “HOT ONE”

June 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Denzel Curry has quietly put together one of the best rap careers of the past decade. He’s repeatedly changed up his sound without sacrificing his quality. He’s proven that he can make aggressive club songs and reflective, chill tracks alike. At this point, Curry can follow his muse wherever, and he has enough goodwill with fans that they’re willing to follow him. “HOT ONES” is the first single from the upcoming album King of the Mischievous South, Vol. 2, and it sees Curry turn out a solid posse cut.

The energy is there from the word go. Denzel Curry’s ferocious delivery pulls listeners right into the song, and his opening verse is packed with quotables. “I can make money from the comfort of my sofa,” he raps. “So much drive, now I gotta get a chauffeur. One day I’ll be big, but I know I’m gettin’ closer.” It’s classic ‘Zel, but the guest features actually manage the rare feat of outshining him. TiaCorine whips out a slick flow that sounds great over the airy instrumental. Vocally, she provides great counterbalance to the main rapper’s gruffness. Then ASAP Ferg comes through and steals “HOT ONE” from both of them.

Denzel Curry Has Great Chemistry With His Features

The charismatic hitmaker sounds energetic as ever, and he comes in so confident on the beat you’d be forgiven for thinking the single was actually his. “F*ck a new chain, I got a new house,” he spits. “That’s your boo thang? She need a new mouth. I flash the gold fangs, that’s just my root canal.” Ferg shines on what sounds like an ASAP Mob type beat. The only thing that holds “HOT ONE” from being a capital “G” great song is the hook. Curry and Ferg crooning about catching hot ones isn’t the earworm they seem to think it is.

What are your thoughts on “HOT ONE” by Denzel Curry, TiaCorine and ASAP Ferg? Do you like Curry’s harder sound? Do you want to hear more of it on her next album? Does Ferg steal the show? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Denzel Curry. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

My bulletproof vest was made out of chinchilla
Walk through the trenches, no need for the hitters
I flip a lil milli’, I copped me a villa
Diamonds is silly, more ice than Vanilla
Got a Ricky, bought Bottega Veneta
Walk in my section, you need an umbrella

Denzel Curry Heads Crazy Lineup For On The Radar Cypher With TiaCorine, FERG, PlayThatBoiZay, & Key Nyata

June 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Denzel Curry revealed to us just a couple of days ago that a new project was on the way. His Instagram post revealing the cover art and features got a lot of attention and for good reason. The Carol City, Florida rapper revealed that names like Juicy J, 2 Chainz, TiaCorine, FERG (A$AP Ferg), and more will be on it. A couple of names for the LP that are floating around are ULTRAGROUND and ZXLTRXN BIG ULTRA. Additionally, no release date/month is known, but we can tell you this. In an interview from four years ago, the veteran songwriter alluded to the fact that this will be one of his last projects. While we wait on that though, Denzel Curry recently made an appearance for On The Radar.

However, he was far from alone on this, as four other artists joined him. Those include Key Nyata, PlayThatBoiZay, FERG, and TiaCorine. This “Mischievous Cypher” is almost nine minutes of pure energy. Zel raps alonsgide Zay, then Nyata, followed by Tia and FERG. You can tell that everyone was having blast with it, as the vibes were extremely high. Everyone had some witty bars and one liners, so there was no shortage of firepower.

Listen To “The Mischievous Cypher” With Denzel Curry, FERG, TiaCorine, & More

While this cypher is fire, we could not help but notice a sly thing that Denzel pulled here. As we mentioned earlier, FERG and Tia are confirmed features for his next tape. There is great chance that Zay makes it as he was on a recent single with Denzel, “WOO”. Finally Key Nyata was also tagged in that IG post. We think that is a bit of promo for the album and that he wanted to give listeners a sneak peek of what sort of chemistry he has with each of them.

What are your thoughts on this latest On The Radar freestyle with Denzel Curry, FERG, TiaCorine, Key Nyata, and PlayThatBoiZay? Who had the best verse/performance on it and why? Do you think Denzel used this as a marketing tactic for his upcoming album? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Ski Mask The Slump God Confirms New Album Coming This Week

June 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s about time. Ski Mask the Slump God was part of the Soundcloud generation that broke out in the 2010s. He worked closely with other Florida rappers like XXXTentacion and Denzel Curry, while at the same time carving out his own eccentric lane. His debut album, Stokeley, was a testament to this. The thing is, Stokeley came out in 2018. Fans have waited six years to hear new Ski Mask music. Thankfully, the wait is over. The sophomore album, 11th Dimension, is almost here.

Ski Mask the Slump God dropped an album teaser on June 1. The teaser opens on complete darkness, while an elderly voice asks the rapper where he’s been. Then there’s a hard cut to his face in close up, which is shrouded in darkness. The elderly voice continues to question Ski Mask’s absence. “They are asking where you are,” the voice states. “Asking where you have been.” The rapper then turns his head up, showing that half of his face is scarred. “Said I’m fighting my demons,” he says, before giving us a glimpse of a verse from the album.

Ski Mask The Slump God’s Last Album Dropped In 2018

The most unexpected part of the teaser, however, comes at the tail end. The camera zooms out to show Ski Mask the Slump God sitting on the floor of an empty white room. He can be seen wearing white angel wings, and his arms are tied. Hard cut to the release date, which is June 7. This is a thrilling development for an album that was first announced in 2021. Ski Mask revealed the album title, 11th Dimension, a year later, and there have been two singles released thus far. “Shibuya” dropped in March, and “Headrush” in May.

Ski Mask the Slump God has kept his inspiration behind a secret, but he did tease a dream list of collabs for 11th Dimension back in 2021. “I want to try and have Tyler, the Creator on it,” he told XXL. “I want to try and have Don Toliver, try and have Dominic Fike. He’s somebody I’ve always wanted to work with… I want to try and work with Post [Malone] at least.” There hasn’t been an official tracklist released, so it’s unclear whether Ski Mask was able to secure any of these features for the finished product.
