19-year-old Denzel Curry dropped a few mixtapes before he became widely recognized, and then bust onto the rap scene in 2013 with the release of his debut album Nostalgic 64. Some well-established artists in the genre, notably Mike G and Earl Sweatshirt, best known for their work in the collective Odd Future, noticed the American rapper for his earlier work, and Mike G went on to collaborate with Curry in his 2013 release.
Curry’s live performances can be compared to that of the Odd Future guys; hectic, lively and has an awesome atmosphere and, more often than not, attracts a decent crowd – he just seems like he’s enjoying himself on stage, something that you could come to expect from a 19 year old performer.
Nostalgic 64 has some certified tunes on it, and Denzel Curry always ensures that his set lists are packed out; be sure to check out ‘Threatz’ ft. Yung Simmie & Rob Bank$, and ‘Zone 3’, two songs in particular that get the crowd buzzing.
He is one of the most exciting live acts at the moment, and his flow is always on point - considering his age you can be sure that Denzel Curry will be on the scene for a while. Look out for this teenager, because I, for one, can’t wait to see what he does next.
