Denzel Curry – Ta13oo

Spanning all three sections of "TA13OO," the Natty Dread explores themes of child abuse, fame, hate, paranoia, love, and revenge. He raps about the presidential election, the face of current music, and recounts his own near-death experience. This diversity is also reflected in the sound of the album. "TA13OO" combines paranoid sounds with brooding melancholy and mood swings that seem to come straight from hell

The new album is Denzel Curry's most groundbreaking release to date. It bridges the gap between the older generation of American hip-hop and the current trend of SoundCloud rappers, in whose musical and stylistic inspiration he played a major role. Denzel Curry demands his respect from both sides - with killer lyricism and deeply personal storytelling.
