Denzel Curry reclaims his throne with King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2, blending raw, '90s-inspired beats with his signature lyrical prowess and an all-star lineup including Juicy J, 2 Chainz, A$AP Rocky, and Ty Dolla $ign.

Denzel Curry is back, and he's bringing the heat with King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2. This album marks the return of his larger-than-life alter ego, Big Ultra, delivering a musical journey through the South's rich hip-hop legacy. Curry draws from the gritty, bass-heavy beats of the '90s, paying homage to Memphis rap and legends like Three 6 Mafia, all while enlisting a powerhouse lineup of collaborators including A$AP Rocky, 2 Chainz, Ty Dolla $ign, and Juicy J.

This album isn't just another entry in Curry's discography however, it's a statement. While his previous projects were deeply rooted in concepts and narratives, this time around, Curry lets loose, showcasing his raw rap skills and creative freedom. Tracks like "Hot One" and "Ultra Shxt" perfectly exemplify his ability to both nod to his origins and push the genre forward.

Over the past few years, Curry's rise has been noteworthy. From the underground heroics of Nostalgic 64 and Imperial, which earned him a spot on XXL's Freshman list and a co-sign from Rick Ross, to the critically acclaimed trilogy of TA13OO, ZUU, and UNLOCKED with Kenny Beats, Curry has proven himself a force in the rap game. His 2022 release, Melt My Eyez See Your Future, further solidified his status, blending his lyrical mastery with hooks that could dominate any playlist.

With King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2, Denzel Curry is not just revisiting the sound that put him on the map; he's redefining it. As he stands shoulder to shoulder with the biggest names in the genre, Curry's influence is undeniable. Whether tearing up stages at Coachella, delivering jaw-dropping performances on The Tonight Show, or setting the internet ablaze with his NPR Tiny Desk concert, Curry is unstoppable. This album is yet another chapter in a career that continues to reshape the boundaries of hip-hop.
