Denzel Curry Has New Music on the Way
Look out world, Denzel Curry is coming. Today, the newly minted 22-year-old rap dynamo let his fans know that he’s got new music heading their way with an Instagram post.
Curry captioned the post, “This is my attitude towards everything Let’s have some fucking fun Be ready for some music soon.” For the actual photo, Curry uploaded a screenshot of a quote from the One Punch Man manga. The quote is from Gaoru, perhaps the most lethal villain in the martial arts comic book. It reads, “I will become the strongest monster and change this scenario.”
The quote is a fitting one for the ascendant 32 Zel/Planet Shrooms artist, who left his mark on 2016 when he was named a XXL Freshman, but still has plenty of room to grow. During the cover shoot for the 2016 Freshman list, Curry made it clear he doesn’t plan to rest on his laurels.
“I watched people blow up after the XXL cover and I watched people drown, you know what I’m saying? And that’s not what I’m trying to do,” Curry told XXL.
He continued, “The stakes are higher. People want to see what you going to come with next and I gotta keep evolving. My favorite artists always keep evolving so I gotta do the same shit, keep evolving. Like Kendrick, he’s one of my favorite artists and I seen him here. On the cover and now, he evolved. He worked. J. Cole same thing, a little shaky, but he evolved too and you can’t be mad at him at all. That’s what I’m trying to do.”
Curry didn’t offer up any clues as to win he’d be dropping some new heat, but we hope it’s sooner rather than later.
