Recently, Floridian rapper Denzel Curry shared "Troubles" featuring fellow Floridian, T-Pain, and his highly anticipated new album ‘Melt My Eyez See Your Future’ on March 25th via Loma Vista Recordings. The new track was produced by longtime collaborator Kenny Beats and follows recent single Zatoichi, which featured the increasingly popular British rapper slowthai. This new music from Denzel was his first new standalone single in a year with last summer's ‘The Game,’ a song which received critical acclaim and notably appeared on the Madden NFL 2022 soundtrack. 

 

Arriving alongside a new cinematic Wes Anderson-inspired video, "Troubles" (still photograph attached)stars Curry in a standout performance as the crutched protagonist in a series of greyscaled and retro-inspired scenes where his trajectory rises from rags to riches, ultimately continuing the hero's journey narrative seen in his Kill Bill Vol. 2 and samurai film-inspired visual for "Zatoichi" and the epic Sci-Fi Western visual for "Walkin."

 

The end of 2021 marked the end of an era - the ending of Denzel's characters and alter egos. Before the release, describing his album Melt My Eyez See Your Future, he said in a press interview that: “I like traditional hip hop, I like drum and bass, I like trap, I like poetry, so a lot of that is going to be interwoven in this album including jazz and a lot of genres that I came up on as a kid and just being in my parents’ house. This album is made up of everything that I couldn't give you on TA13OO or Imperial because I was going through depression anger issues.”

 

Additionally, in support of the forthcoming project, Denzel will also embark on a world tour kicking off this spring in North America and running through performances in Europe and the United Kingdom this summer.

 

If you don’t know him already, then get to know him now – he wasn’t labelled by ‘Complex’ magazine as someone who “deserves your undivided attention” for no reason. He has been – and continues to – create some of the most exciting and experimental rap music in the industry, and with the release of ‘Melt My Eyez See Your Future’, he clearly doesn’t seem to be stopping. ‘Melt My Eyez See Your Future’ is 45 minutes of hypnotically capitaviting hip-hop which is unquestionably worth the listen.
