Denzel Curry "King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2"

Denzel Curry has announced his forthcoming release, King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2. The single "HOT ONE," featuring A$AP Ferg and Tia Corine, is out now.

Vol. 2 is the follow-up to Curry's 2012 mixtape King of the Mischievous South, Vol. 1. In addition to A$AP Ferg and Tia Corine, guests on the collection include A$AP Rocky, Juicy J, 2 Chainz, Maxo Kream, Project Pat, Ty Dolla $ign and more.

According to a press release, "While the first instalment of King of the Mischievous South was performed from the perspective of his Raven Miyagi persona, a name bestowed upon him by Raider Klan founder SpaceGhostPurrp, Volume 2 finds Curry operating under his Big Ultra persona — an elevated version of Raven Miyagi that is braggadocious and revels in the success that Curry has seen over the last decade of his career."

Curry had apparently been trying to write songs for a new King of the Mischievous South instalment for some time, but his attempts kept morphing into other projects. It wasn't until he stopped trying that the collection sprung forth naturally. Vol. 2 contains 15 songs, although the press release notably never refers to it as an "album," instead simply calling it a "project." It seems, then, that this might not be the official follow-up to 2022's Melt My Eyez See Your Future.
