Denzel Curry Returns To Officially Announce “The Scythe”

Denzel Curry returns to officially announce The Scythe, including Curry himself alongside members Ferg, Bktherula, TiaCorine, and Key Nyata, as well as a full-length project, Strictly 4 The Scythe, arriving March 6 via Loma Vista Recordings. With the announcement, the crew shares a first taste of new music and the forthcoming release in the BNYX-produced single, “Lit Effect,” featuring Bktherula and LAZER DIM 700, a commanding rock-tinged anthem that sets an energetic stage for more to come. Denzel and co will also appear on The Ebro Show today at 3pm EST / 12pm PST for a live interview via Apple Music 1 to coincide with the single release.

The Scythe draws on the banded collective spirit of Denzel’s foundational days while continuing his futuristic takes on old-school regional rap (Memphis, Houston, Miami). Combining Denzel’s unique style with classically gritty Southern sounds and the creative force of each artist, the project centers hip-hop’s core across eras, paying homage to the South’s great musical legacy while ushering in a rising new guard. Speaking on the dynamic, Curry says, “The Scythe is a family and a group. We still have our respective solo careers, but when we come together, it’s The Scythe.”

Strictly 4 The Scythe marks the first full project from the rapper since 2024’s album version of King Of The Mischievous South, the official mixtape and sound that helped launch his career, revisited in final form with a reconfigured tracklist and 5 new songs including “STILL IN THE PAINT,” featuring Bktherula and LAZER DIM 700, “HOT ONE” featuring Ferg and TiaCorine, “ULTRA SHXT” featuring Key Nyata and standout solo cut “GOT ME GEEKED.” Last year, Denzel also shared the title track “HIM” from HIM – The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of Universal Pictures’ film, directed by Justin Tipping and produced by Oscar winner Jordan Peele and his company Monkeypaw Productions.
