There has emerged a new wave of rappers who use aggression as a way to heighten the energy of their music. Many of Denzel Curry’s songs - including the viral “Ultimate” and this year’s “SUMO” - make great use of this hyper-aggressive streak. But “TA13OO” proves that Curry’s appeal lies far beneath a single gimmick. The beats are dynamic and consistent, Curry displays considerable technical prowess and the subject matter ranges from darkly humorous brag-raps to raw explorations of inner and outer turmoil. Key Tracks: “SUMO,” “CLOUT COBAIN,” “SIRENS”
