Denzel Curry returns to southern roots with 'King of the Mischievous South Vol 2'

There’s a rare kind of artist who can shapeshift without ever losing the thread – who can tap into different eras, sounds and states of mind, and still feel unmistakably like themselves. Denzel Curry is one of those artists.

From his early days with the Raider Klan to projects like “TA13OO” and “Melt My Eyez See Your Future,” he’s built a discography that refuses to stay still, blending sharp lyricism with raw emotion and an ever-evolving sense of self.

His latest project, “King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2,” is both a throwback and a step forward. It’s a hard-hitting mixtape that draws from the gritty, bass-heavy textures of Southern rap’s golden age while introducing a new alter ego: Big Ultra. It’s a return to roots that doesn’t feel like regression, but more like resurrection.
