Today, Denzel Curry releases his new project King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2, the official sequel to the project – and revisiting the sound – that helped launch his career. While the project marks a return to his roots, it also signals the arrival of a new era in Denzel’s career that sees him standing as a peer alongside the biggest names in the genre after more than a decade of critically-acclaimed releases.
The first instalment 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, the second volume finds Curry operating under his Big Ultra persona — an elevated version of Raven Miyagi that is braggadocious and revels in the success that Curry has seen over the last decade of his career.

After announcing the project in June, Denzel has been making waves on social media with ‘HOT ONE’ featuring A$AP Ferg and TiaCorine, as well as with his three-beat medley group performance featuring Ferg, Tia, Key Nyata, and PlayThatBoiZay with On The Radar. A couple of weeks later, Denzel debuted his second single, ‘BLACK FLAG FREESTYLE’ featuring That Mexican OT with a From The Block live performance. Then, most recently Denzel and PlayThatBoiZay premiered their ‘HOODLUMZ’ verses live in London on BBC Radio 1’s Rap Show. Just a few days later, the full version featuring A$AP Rocky was officially released on all platforms.
Curry has been aiming to create King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2 for some time, though his earliest attempts to do so ultimately morphed into other projects, namely his 2016 album Imperial and 2020’s 13LOOD 1N + 13LOOD OUT. It wasn’t until he stopped overtly attempting to create Vol. 2 that its songs started to emerge naturally.

Given the project’s sound, which pays homage to the great musical heritages of the South — from Memphis to Houston and Curry’s own South Florida — 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. Fellow former Raider Klan member Key Nyata, Memphis stalwarts Juicy J and Project Pat, Texas’ Maxo Kream, That Mexican OT, and Mike Dimes, North Carolina’s TiaCorine, Atlanta’s 2 Chainz and Kenny Mason and South Florida’s Ski Mask The Slump God and PlayThatBoiZay, as well as A$AP Ferg and A$AP Rocky all make appearances across King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2.
This album arrives after Denzel Curry’s fifth album Melt My Eyez See Your Future – the sound of the mercurial Miami rapper levelling up. His fifth album featured hit singles ‘Troubles‘ with T-Pain, the samurai film-inspired ‘Zatoichi‘ and triple j Hottest 100-voted epic Sci-Fi Western ‘Walkin‘.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
