Denzel Curry has had an OUTSTANDING year, and KOTMS was a major part of that. The songs on this mixtape draw heavily from the sounds of Southern Rap and bring back a lot of the nostalgic Raider Klan sound. The project features countless tracks that I can’t go a day without listening to, from the melodic “GOT ME GEEKED” to “ANOTHA LATE NITE”, produced by, and featuring, my goat 454. “STILL IN THE PAINT” is one of the most energetic songs I’ve heard all year, bringing together a unique blend of collarboators with LAZER DIM 700 and Bktherula. “HOT ONE” includes a TiaCorine verse that has become somewhat of a meme on the internet after Denzel mimicked her during our interview with him (but it goes hard EVERY TIME). This album shows Denzel continuing his trend of consistency, and in 2024 he remains at the top of his game.
