In this episode of the NFR podcast, hosts Luca and Anthony review Denzel Curry’s album ‘Kings of the Mischievous South Vol 2’. They explore various aspects of the album, praising Curry’s energetic and consistent performance, marked by his passionate and aggressive delivery.
The album features numerous guest appearances, with standout contributions from artists like Kenny Mason, Mexican OTU, and Maxo Kream. However, the hosts found some features, such as Two Chainz, less impressive.
While the hosts note that the album’s lyrical content lacks the depth and complexity of some of Curry’s previous work, it focuses on braggadocious themes and party-oriented content. The production is generally well-received, with tracks like “Black Flag Freestyle” and “Ultra” highlighted as strong points, although “Hit the Floor” was criticized for overly distorted production. The album is deemed highly replayable, with 7 out of 10 main tracks (excluding interludes) staying in their rotation.
Overall, they view the album positively, praising its energy, production, and Curry’s performance while acknowledging it isn’t as lyrically complex as some of his earlier work. They consider it a successful homage to Southern hip-hop, especially the sounds of Memphis and Texas, and recommend it to listeners seeking high-energy music.
