After returning to officially announce The Scythe and its core members Bktherula, TiaCorine, Ferg and Key Nyata alongside Denzel Curry, the group shares a new single and video for “The Scythe” from their forthcoming full-length project Strictly 4 The Scythe, out March 6 via Loma Vista Recordings. The new posse cut, and title track, finds the collective joining in on the hook’s infectious chant mixed between scratched production and sharp verses from Tia and Ferg, closely following last month’s BNYX-produced “Lit Effect,” featuring Bktherula and LAZER DIM 700.
Speaking on the song’s inception, Ferg shares “I was on one when we created this song, it was the night of my first art show… Taking the energy from the success of my show back to the booth where there was more energy with The Scythe created not only a monster of an anthem, but a moment in history!”
On the group’s creative approach and her individual contributions, Tia says “Denzel really showed me the power of production and trust. My verse was for a wholeeee different beat and Denzel is like you gotta start doing bigger sounds, trust me. So that’s what I did and that’s how we got “The Scythe.”
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.”
