Denzel Curry is a 23 year old rapper from Carol City, Florida who has recently emerged as one of the underground's most vibrant young talents--and one of its best candidates for breakthrough success in the mainstream. Unlike other artists who are fixated on the morbid, Curry's music isn't sprawling or indulgent, trite or aphoristic. Instead, his acute sense for the less savory parts of his life has manifested in hip-hop that's laser-focused, that sounds steeped in the headier approaches of the genre's greatest technicians yet remains distinctly Southern.
