An insanely fun 30 minutes.
While being far from the level of Denzel’s earlier albums this is still an album that is executed well. The entire album feels like one big posse cut, with everybody delivering super fun verses. Denzel wasn’t making a masterpiece; he was making a moment. A moment that he is proudly sharing with all his collaborators. Throughout the entire 30-minute runtime you not once get the feeling that this album takes itself too seriously, not in the sense of it ... read more
This project was bound to be great the second it got announced. MIKE and Earl teaming up with Surf Gang for an entire album? Count me in!

In the 33 minute runtime, he manages to touch on subjects that leave you feel vulnerable ... read more

I really only checked this album out because Venna frequented my Twitter timeline over the last month and I was extremely intrigued if I’d like the music he makes and it’s safe to say I 100% do.
This album features some extremely smooth, soul-warming instrumentation, mixed with occasional vocal performances by some of my favourite artists (MIKE, Smino, Jorja Smith, etc.) who all perform very well on this album, although it was really unexpected to see them on this. Venna is an ... read more
