Freshman...'16 Part 9 of 10: Denzel Curry

Grinding till the sun up,
middle finger flashed, thats a one up,
I'm a young gutta,
Dog I nutterm
Curry said cut 'em with his butter.
- Denzel Curry (track: Threatz)

I know what your thinking, not another Curry. But before you ghost ride the page, realize that this Curry's story starts on the polar opposite coast. I talking about Florida, home to some of the biggest artist like Trick Daddy, Dj Khalid, Rick Ross, and now the spot light is shining on Denzel Curry. An artist following the independent label movement is making a name for himself and gaining notoriety for the work he has put in. Denzel Curry is one of the more reserved artists on the cover, choosing to keep certain aspects of his life private such as woman or record deal offers, which is a very different look in an age where consumers want to know more of the day-to-day life of the artists they love. An interesting fact is that Denzel Curry is influenced by Big K.R.I.T which is reflected in some of his earlier work such as 'King Remembered in Underground Tape 1991-1995'. Sort of full circle for Big K.R.I.T who has been quoted as saying that in that conversation of top 5 that one day there will be that little kid in the corner of the room yelling what about K.R.I.T tho? And it seems like Denzel Curry was that kid. With a spasmatic flow, and hard hitting vocals it seems that the energy of this artist is what attracts fans to such a unique artist. The more imporanant question is what will be his future? Mainstream or underground, as far as now it seems like he is shooting for the stars. Here are some quick facts about Denzel Curry:
