What’s going on everyone!? Today I’d like to introduce you to an up and coming artist from Miami, Florida. He goes by the name Denzel Curry. If you didn’t already know, he is reppin for Raider Klan, and is also known as Aquarius Killa. His music definitely tells tales of the raw reality that many young people face in today’s world. Denzel is lyrical and he owns his unique versatile flow. I definitely feel his music to be influenced by different genres of hip hop and metal, mainly. There is a real dark yet light aroma that rises in his lyrics and the stream that they are carried on. It feels like his creativity and flow are so universal that you just don’t know what to expect next. Take a listen for yourself, get to know him, and be on the lookout Nostalgic 64 coming soon!
1. What is it like to grow up in Miami, FL?
It’s ok living down here in Miami but there’s a lot of things I seen that I didn’t like growing up, my cousin dying being one.
2. When did you start making music?
I started making music when I was in the 8th grade, rapping on 5 dollar microphones that I bought from Wal-Mart lol & using “audacity” on the computer.
3. How did you link up with the Raider Klan?
A friend of mine by the name of Mike Dece introduced me to Spaceghostpurrp’s music over the internet and Simmie been a close friend of mines for years. I asked Purrp can I be in Raider Klan and he said”Fasho”, since then I‘ve been reppin it ever since.
4. How did the song Threatz come about?
Ronny J and I have the same manager and he sent it to us so we can rip it and when writing the song our manager had the perfect idea for getting Simmie & Bank$ on it that’s how Threatz came about.
5. Do you do your artwork? It fits right in with the music and is very creative.
Indeed I do create all my own artwork; it shows people that I’m not just a rapper but also an overall Artist.
6. What are your other interests besides making music?
I like Meditating, Drawing, Movies, Karate, I’m into a lot.
7. I’m always interested in what artist’s eat; to fuel the bodies they use to create their art… Do you have a favorite food or meal?
Don’t really have a favorite meal to be quite honest I can say soul food at least.
8. Favorite Movie(s)?
I have favorite’s that inspire my music such as pulp fiction, kill bill Vol 1. & 2, star wars trilogy, and Movies I seen growing up as a child.
9. How did you find your musical flow or style? Did Miami influence it at all?
Certain lines like pull out the stick, let’s go get em, and Gunplay’s music inspired me because that’s home plate but How I developed my style and flow is something I had to build over with mixing punch lines that goes over people’s head with tongue twisters on my own. I listened to all hip hop from Crunk shit like Three 6 to Lyrical stuff like Big L or Outkast.
10. I saw on RapFix that Waka Flocka may be on a remix to “Threatz”… I think he would fit the song. Is it possible that this could happen?
To be honest I don’t know but I’m not even tripping about it though… it would be a tough feature to have but as of now I’m really uncertain cause no one has reached out, I’m still open to it though.
11. Anything else you’d like to say the people…?
God Speed and stay Gold …. Nostalgic 64 Late this Summer.
