This week I am sitting down with one of the more interesting and prolific hop hop artists working today Denzel Curry. His fans range from Billie Eilish, Thundercat and Glass Animals, they are, as I am, enamoured with his sense of passion and clarity.
A 27-year-old rapper and singer who hails from Florida. He emerged as a pioneer of what was called the SoundCloud rap genre in the early twenty-tens, synonymous with artists such as XXXTentacion (with which Denzel used to live with), Tekashi 6-9 and Lil Uzi Vert. His mixtapes garnered huge acclaim early on, followed by several critically lauded albums. Now with his 2022 record Melt My Eyez See Your Future firmly in hand for many best of 2022 lists, he takes his very personal brand of rhyming to the next level.
This chat is about two people from very different backgrounds finding common ground and finding a way to speak about pain and catharsis. It took us a while to find our footing, but when we did, some beautiful moments of honesty were shared. Make sure you listen to the end, where I'm privileged enough for him to share his favourite flow with me.
