Denzel Curry Songs & Greatest Hits
When Denzel Curry hit the scene, he was still a relatively unknown star. He had an undeniable charisma and stage appeal even in those early days that made him stand out compared to the other members of Raider Klan. But eventually, when he finally grew out and became a rapper in his own right, his talent was pushed front stage and center. And fans are always debating what songs are the best examples of his work.
Well here’s our short list of essential Denzel Curry listening.
“This Life” is a lighter song that has some influence from other genres, including psychedelic rck to create a hot beat. It has lyrics that might be missed on a first time listen because of the effects, but the mystery surrounding the song elevates these effects. It’s a successful break away from a trap sound.
Next, we suggest checking out “Sangria” which actually didn’t achieve it’s deserved fame until it was showcased on “American Feature”. The song has a cool instrumental from RonnyJ that is arguably one of his best and is a great showcase of Curry’s lyrical delivery. The song is about drugs and depression and makes excellent use of Curry’s voice. It’s a great heavy piece.
Finally be sure that you give “RICKY” a listen. This song pairs exquisite instrumentals with some of Curry’s darkest lyrics. He talks about how drugs can become a coping mechanism that eventually can lead to death. It’s also got lyrics about advice given to young people by their parents. It’s also about the all too human desire to protect loved ones from the darkness of these heavy thoughts.
