Description
Denzel Curry039s forthcoming 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. Creating King Of The Mischievous South Volume 2 has been a goal of Curry039s for some time, though his earliest attempts to do so ultimately morphed into other projects, namely his 2016 album Imperial and 2020039s 13LOOD 1N 43 13LOOD OUT. It wasn039t until he stopped overly attempting to create Volume 2 that its songs started to emerge naturally. Given the project039s sound, which pays homage to the great musical heritages of the South from Memphis to Houston and Curry039s own South Florida its features include the region039s greats, both old and new, as well as others whose style is indebted to the South039s musical legacy. Features include fellow former Raider Klan member Key Nyata, Memphis stalwarts Juicy J and Project Pat, Texas039 Maxo Kream, That Mexican OT and Mike Dimes, North Carolinas TiaCorine, Atlanta039s 2 Chainz and Kenny Mason and South Florida039s Ski Mask The Slump God and PlayThatBoiZay, as well as ASAP Ferg and ASAP Rocky, among others. The project more broadly and the intentional inclusion of Rocky and Ferg is Curry039s attempt to show what could have been had relationships not soured with SpaceGhostPurrp, 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 conceptuallydriven albums, this project serves as a showcase for the fun, spontaneity and technical mastery that has made him one of rap039s most indemand talents over the course of the last decade.
