Lyrically, Denzel is just a monster on this instrumental, touching on various topics such as police brutality, racism and his feud with his former mentor, SpaceGhostPurrp. This track is impressive in that it has not only quality rapping and quality production but also a quality hook. The intro track, “ULT” has this foreboding synth bass near the beginning and some mystical, watery keys laced throughout the track. Most of the songs on Imperial are explosive, head-bashing and Denzel just sounds murderous. There’s not a lot of latitude or wriggle room and Denzel makes full use of the space he has. Imperial is a relatively short album, with only 10 tracks and a runtime of 40 minutes. Prior to the release of Imperial, Denzel also dropped a double EP, titled “ 32 Zel/Planet Shrooms”. He released his debut album, Nostalgia 64 on September 3, 2013. However, some time in 2013, Raider Klan disbanded and Curry saw fit to pursue a solo career.
4 years after its initial release, Denzel Curry’s sophomore album has aged wonderfully and remained to be one of the best works in his ever-expanding discography.ĭenzel Curry is a Florida rapper who initially blew up back in 2011 when a mixtape of his caught the attention of rapper SpaceGhostPurrp, shortly after which, Denzel joined Purrp’s hip-hop group, Raider Klan.
