So less than a year ago, Denzel Curry released\u00a0TA13OO\u00a0<\/em>(or TABOO) which garnered acclaim from music critics and rap fans as one of the best rap albums (and albums in general) of 2018, myself included. Now after doing a loosie track with Charlie Heat, doing an awesome cover of Rage Against the Machine’s “Bulls on Parade,” and appearing on the latest Flying Lotus album (which is also fire!<\/a>), he has another new album out now.<\/p>\n

First, Anderson .Paak and YG released albums mere months after their last one, and now Denzel Curry is on the list. Although to be fair, the time between this and\u00a0TABOO<\/em> was 10 months, and Paak and YG had 5 to 9 months, respectively.<\/p>\n

Let’s cut to the chase with ZUU<\/em>. It’s 12 tracks (or 9 songs, 1 interlude and 2 skits) full of banging joints all in under 30 minutes, and it’s always a good sign when an album like this isn’t too long or overbearing. This is another good album from Denzel.<\/p>\n

As usual, he’s got bars within the tracks about his family, what goes on in his home of South Florida, making it in the world and the rap game, and trying to not die in his 20s like past friends of his, though mainly the one friend he’s talking about (XXXTentacion), made obvious on the single he dropped, “SPEEDBOAT.”<\/p>\n
