Denzel Curry

ZUU

In less than a half hour, Curry establishes himself not only as one of the most capable and exciting artists of his generation, but also worthy of a place in Miami's rap pedigree, right alongside the local icons who inspired this gem.

For the most part, Zuu shies away from becoming too emotional. Instead, Curry presents himself in a reflective state, showing fans (newer ones especially) the full story-where he came from, who inspired him, how he’s gotten here.

The South Florida rapper puts on for his city and delivers the best, most dynamic, and altogether hardest album of his career.

Although the project’s unbridled embrace of such a localized style may limit its mainstream appeal, the LP proves Curry cannot be pigeonholed as an artist.

This is an album you're going to want to nod your head and dance to. Curry has come a long way since he blew up and has fully solidified his place in the game. If ZUU isn't in your rotation, you're sleeping.

‘ZUU’ is further proof that Denzel Curry is one of hip-hop's most interesting and progressive MCs.

The 24-year-old Floridian rapper combines dreamy, ethereal beats with hard-hitting sounds and rhymes to relay his unique – and compelling – life story.

This is an album for the day ones, a soundtrack to the Dade County summer experience filled with aggressive parties, violence, and the consequences they demand.
