DENZEL CURRY & KENNETH BLUME ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM, LISTEN TO THEIR NEW SINGLE “DIFFERENCE”

Denzel Curry and producer Kenny Beats return to announce their forthcoming new album ii, arriving on August 21 via Loma Vista Recordings. Alongside the announcement, the duo also shares a new single and accompanying video from the project. “Difference,” featuring Yebba, sets the tone as the first taste of their new chapter and the long-anticipated follow-up to their acclaimed 2020 joint project UNLOCKED. Across nine tracks, ii finds the pair of visionary artists refreshed and at their most focused, including features from JPEGMAFIA, Westside Gunn and Yebba. While the new project demonstrates the clear-eyed focus they’ve developed in their time apart, the unbridled energy of their chemistry remains present. In the years following UNLOCKED, Denzel and Kenneth have solidified themselves in veteran roles as trusted authorities and generational groundbreakers running point on the lively creative worlds around them.

Speaking on the duo’s collaborative evolution Kenneth shares, “The work Denzel and I do has never been easy, which is why it’s so rewarding. We’ve started every project on opposite sides of a coin and fought our way to the center. When I hear this album I hear the growth and the fight in equal parts.”
