Denzel Curry and Kenneth Blume, the dynamic duo behind the critically acclaimed album 'Unlocked', are back with a new collaborative project titled 'ii'. This highly anticipated follow-up to their previous work comes with a unique twist: a return to basics. The album's creation process was intense, marked by creative differences and a desire to push boundaries. According to a press release, the artists had to overcome significant challenges, ultimately deciding to strip down their approach to music, using only an SP-404 and a cheap microphone. This decision, as Blume himself notes, symbolizes the growth and struggle inherent in their creative process. The lead single, 'Difference', showcases Curry's fiery delivery and technical prowess, featuring a catchy hook by Yebba. The track's energetic boom-bap style sets the tone for the entire album, which also includes collaborations with Westside Gunn and JPEGMAFIA. The 'Difference' video, directed by NOTACHANCE, offers a glimpse into the artists' creative journey, with a VHS-style split-screen showing Curry and Blume in their natural elements. The album's release on August 21st via Loma Vista Records promises to be a significant moment in the underground rap scene, offering a fresh and raw take on the genre.
