Denzel Curry

United States

Denzel Curry's King Of The Mischievous South Volume 2 finds him presenting a sequel to the project, and bringing back the sound, that helped launch his career. While the first installment of King Of The Mischievous South was performed from the perspective of his Raven Miyagi persona, a name bestowed upon him by Raider Klan founder SpaceGhostPurrp, Volume 2 finds Curry operating under his Big Ultra persona -- an elevated version of Raven Miyagi that is bragadocious and revels in the success that Curry has seen over the last decade of his career. Given the project's sound, which pays homage to the great musical heritages of the South, 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. The intentional inclusion of Rocky and Ferg is Curry's attempt to show what could have been, fulfilling the promise that existed at the rise of their respective careers in the early 2010s. With all of the otherworldly adventures Denzel has taken listeners on over the course of his last few conceptually-driven albums, this project serves as a showcase for the fun, spontaneity and technical mastery that has made him one of rap's most in-demand talents over the course of the last decade.
