DENZEL CURRY – KING OF THE MISCHIEVOUS SOUTH VOL. 2

Posted on 2024-08-26

Miami rapper Denzel Curry turns back time with this surprise sequel to the project that largely put him on the map some 12 years ago, King Of The Mischievous South. A longtime pet project for Curry, previous attempts to . Vol. 2 is also something of an evolution for the Miami man: while certainly returning to the more character-based storytelling of his Raider Klan adjacent/early mixtape era, Curry develops plots and morphs these pieces to reflect the passage of time. More than anything else though, Mischievous South Vol. 2 is indeed a celebration of the South: sonic textures and guest verses from Memphis, Atlanta, Houston, and South Florida all mix around to create a love letter to a strain of rap that still feels out of time.

THE BLACK DOG – OTHER, LIKE ME

Posted on 2024-08-12

Sheffield techno experimentalists The Black Dog are again back on their Dust Science for a new LP entitled Other, While Me. Ken Downie’s run alongside the Dust (Science) brothers under The Black Dog moniker has now gone significantly longer than any other formation, the trio remain fearlessly inquisitive. A treatise of sorts on the pitfalls and triumphs of expression, Other Like Me’s dark, yet oddly soothing almost drone-metal like tones take self-doubt and misery head on in an effort to explore the spectrum of creativity. The album’s title is taken from a Cosey Fanni Tutti interview as well, placing this harshly introspective music in a long-standing continuum of industrial art.
