Denzel Curry - "King Of The Mischievous South" Vol. 2 | @denzelcurry

 

Denzel Curry has just dropped his latest project, "King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2", a highly anticipated sequel that revisits the raw sound which kickstarted his career. This release not only marks a return to his roots but also signifies a new phase in Denzel’s journey, solidifying his position among the genre’s elite after more than a decade of acclaimed albums.

Since announcing the project in June, Denzel has been making waves on social media with tracks like "HOT ONE" featuring A$AP Ferg and TiaCorine, and a standout performance on On The Radar alongside Ferg, Tia, Key Nyata, and PlayThatBoiZay. Recently, he debuted "BLACK FLAG FREESTYLE" featuring That Mexican OT with a live performance on From The Block. Most notably, Denzel and PlayThatBoiZay premiered their verses on "HOODLUMZ" live in London on BBC Radio 1’s Rap Show, followed by the official release featuring A$AP Rocky across all major platforms.

To amplify the album launch, weeklong billboards have been strategically placed in NYC's Times Square and LA's Sunset Boulevard, courtesy of YouTube and Spotify.

In this new installment of "King Of The Mischievous South", Denzel adopts the persona of Big Ultra, an evolved version of his Raven Miyagi identity, characterized by confidence and a celebration of his decade-long success in the industry, originally dubbed by Raider Klan founder SpaceGhostPurrp.

 

 

Curry has been aiming to create King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2 for some time, though his earliest attempts to do so ultimately morphed into other projects, namely his 2016 album Imperial and 2020's 13LOOD 1N + 13LOOD OUT. It wasn't until he stopped overtly attempting to create Vol. 2 that its songs started to emerge naturally.

 

Given the project's sound, which pays homage to the great musical heritages of the South -- from Memphis to Houston and Curry's own South Florida -- its features include the region's greats, both old and new, as well as others whose style is indebted to the South's musical legacy. Fellow former Raider Klan member Key Nyata, Memphis stalwarts Juicy J and Project Pat, Texas' Maxo Kream, That Mexican OT, and Mike Dimes, North Carolina’s TiaCorine, Atlanta's 2 Chainz and Kenny Mason and South Florida's Ski Mask The Slump God and PlayThatBoiZay, as well as A$AP Ferg and A$AP Rocky all make appearances across King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2.

 

In celebration of the project’s release, Curry will host a pop-up event at le PÈRE with Pigeons & Planes on Friday evening in New York City.

 

Later this year, Denzel will hit arenas on the Grey Day Tour along with select festival dates - full list of shows below.
