Denzel Curry releases ‘King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2’ via Loma Vista Recordings

Denzel Curry releases his new project King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2, the official sequel to the project – and revisiting the sound – that helped launch his career. While the project marks a return to his roots, it also signals the arrival of a new era in Denzel’s career that sees him standing as a peer alongside the biggest names in the genre after more than a decade of critically-acclaimed releases.

The first installment of King Of The Mischievous South was performed from the perspective of his Raven Miyagi persona, a name bestowed upon him by Raider Klan founder SpaceGhostPurrp, the second volume finds Curry operating under his Big Ultra persona — an elevated version of Raven Miyagi that is braggadocious and revels in the success that Curry has seen over the last decade of his career.

After announcing the project in June, Denzel has been making waves on social media with “HOT ONE” featuring A$AP Ferg and TiaCorine, as well as with his three-beat medley group performance featuring Ferg, Tia, Key Nyata, and PlayThatBoiZay with On The Radar. A couple of weeks later, Denzel debuted his second single, “BLACK FLAG FREESTYLE,” featuring That Mexican OT with a From The Block live performance. Then, most recently Denzel and PlayThatBoiZay premiered their “HOODLUMZ” verses live in London on BBC Radio 1’s “Rap Show.” Just a few days later, the full version featuring A$AP Rocky was officially released on all platforms.

Curry has been aiming to create King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2 for some time, though his earliest attempts to do so ultimately morphed into other projects, namely his 2016 album Imperial and 2020’s 13LOOD 1N + 13LOOD OUT. It wasn’t until he stopped overtly attempting to create Vol. 2 that its songs started to emerge naturally.

Given the project’s sound, which pays homage to the great musical heritages of the South — from Memphis to Houston and Curry’s own South Florida — its features include the region’s greats, both old and new, as well as others whose style is indebted to the South’s musical legacy. Fellow former Raider Klan member Key Nyata, Memphis stalwarts Juicy J and Project Pat, Texas’ Maxo Kream, That Mexican OT, and Mike Dimes, North Carolina’s TiaCorine, Atlanta’s 2 Chainz and Kenny Mason and South Florida’s Ski Mask The Slump God and PlayThatBoiZay, as well as A$AP Ferg and A$AP Rocky all make appearances across King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2.

In celebration of the project’s release, Curry will host “Club Mischievous” with No Strings on Thursday night and a pop-up event at le PÈRE with Pigeons & Planes on Friday evening in New York City.

Later this year, Denzel will hit the road on the Grey Day Tour along with some select festival dates.
