Who is Denzel Curry?

Denzel Rae Don Curry mostly known as Denzel Curry is a powerful artist from Florida. His journey began in sixth grade when he started working on his first mixtape. He was greatly influenced by SpaceGhostPurrp. Thanks to his social media influence the album got a lot of attention.

Later Curry joined Purrp’s hip-hop collective, Raider Clan, which he had left in 2013. In his former years, he lived with XXXTentacion. While X became more and more popular, Denzel was less known to the public, which didn’t bother him, because he’s not doing this career for fame, rather share his deep thoughts through his songs.

He said this about clout chasing — N***as will kill their homeboy for clout, straight up. And it’s a problem, everybody clout hungry, doing some stupid shit for clout. They want you to be animals, it’s stupid as fuck. This can be seen especially in his 2018 album TA13OO, in which he talked about suicide, drugs, it’s effects, and the society we live in. “Being sober is damn near like you’re an alien if you tell somebody you’re straight edge “That’s the society we live in.”

What is Denzel Curry’s best album?

Everybody has a different opinion about this of course, but the most sophisticated album of his is TA1300. This album was purposefully delivered in 3 parts: the light, the grey, and the dark side. Do you wonder how the idea came for the CLOUT COBAIN music video? Curry said — The idea started off as a joke. I was with my manager Mark at a festival and he turns to me and says, “Man, every Soundcloud rapper treats this like a Clout Circus.” At the time, we’d bust out laughin’. Then when we were coming up with ideas for the music video and Mark asked, “Why don’t we just do a Clout Circus?” He continued by saying — „In ‘CLOUT COBAIN | CLOUT CO13A1N’ all I did was just hold a mirror up to the world so they could see it. It wasn’t me makin’ fun of nobody.

The reason why the video is creepy is that it was the truth — I just held a mirror up. That was it.” He always felt like an outcast and that nobody respected or understood his vision or what he is capable of, which influenced him writing CLOUT COBAIN. He had the idea to do the album in reverse. It went from light to dark, when his life was going from dark to light. Denzel Curry is showing us a different side of him in every album he releases.

What is Denzel Curry’s net worth?

His estimated net worth is reportedly over 1 million. After more than 5 years of hustling in the music industry, we can say he deserves it.

His most popular song is ‘Ultimate’ from 2015. He improved his music in every way and he plans to continue this journey. Curry has over 5 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
