HipHopDX

Curry has constructed a project that plays to the sonic structures of the era without sacrificing meaningful content in doing so. TA13OO is the culmination of his promise and talent, resulting in Curry’s magnum opus.

Denzel has developed so much as an artist, where every song is at least great. That's genuinely insane.
