Curry left Raider Klan in 2013, releasing his debut studio album, Nostalgic 64, in September of that year, while still in high school. He has since released three extended plays: 32 Zel/Planet Shrooms in 2015, 13 in 2017, and UNLOCKED (a collaboration with Kenny Beats) in 2020, and four studio albums: Imperial in 2016, Ta13oo in 2018, Zuu in 2019, and Melt My Eyez See Your Future in 2022. TA13OO, ZUU, and Melt My Eyez debuted at numbers 28, 32, and 51 on the Billboard 200 chart, respectively, with Melt My Eyez returning at number 17 after the release of an extended edition. All of his projects have garnered significant critical acclaim.
In 2012, he released his second mixtape, titled King of the Mischievous South Vol. 1 Underground Tape 1996, which caught the attention of fellow American rapper Earl Sweatshirt and other members of Odd Future label.
Curry's third mixtape, titled Strictly for My R.V.I.D.X.R.S., was released after the death of Trayvon Martin, who also lived in Carol City and went to the same high school as Denzel Curry. His rap style on this mixtape was inspired by 2PAC. On June 9, 2015, Curry released his first double EP, titled 32 Zel/Planet Shrooms. His first release in 2016 was the single "Flying Nimbus".
His second full-length album, titled Imperial, was released on March 9, 2016, then re-released later on Spotify as the deluxe version on October 14, 2016. In June 2016, Curry was featured on a cover as one of the XXL's 2016's Freshmen Class.
On May 13, 2017, Curry uploaded a track entitled "Hate Government [demo]" to his SoundCloud account. In the weeks that followed, he released two more demos for songs entitled "Equalizer [demo]" and "ZELTRON 6 BILLION ft. Lil Ugly Mane." After these releases as well as a series of cryptic posts on social media (seemingly portraying another alter ego called Zeltron), he released an EP entitled 13 on June 25, 2017. All of the demo tracks were included on the EP as well as two other new songs. On August 18, 2017, Curry released another song called "Skywalker." Later that year, on September 22, a remastered version of 32 Zel was released, including a remix of "Ultimate" featuring Juicy J.
On April 2, 2018, Curry released the lead single off of Ta13oo titled, "Sumo" on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show. On May 24, 2018, Curry released the second single off the album titled, "Percs". Curry then released the third single titled, "Clout Cobain", on July 13, 2018, and announced that his album TA13OO, would be released in three acts: The first act, Light, was released on July 25, followed by Gray on July 26, and Dark on July 27. Each previously-released single represents one of the album's acts, as "Sumo" represents Light, "Clout Cobain" represents Gray, and "Percs" represents Dark, which comes together cohesively to form TA13OO. TA13OO features guest appearances from GoldLink, JID, JPEGMAFIA, ZillaKami and more.
On January 5, 2022, the official trailer for Curry's fifth studio album, titled Melt My Eyez See Your Future, was uploaded to his YouTube channel. It was revealed that the album would contain guest appearances from artists such as T-Pain, 6lack, Slowthai, Rico Nasty, J.I.D, and Thundercat, among others. Curry said the project would feature a new, more mature sound, different from his previous works: "Y'all are not going to hear the same type of Denzel anymore." On January 24, a single titled "Walkin", along with a Western-inspired music video directed by Adrian Villagomez, was released. Curry also said the album "is made up of everything that I couldn't include on Ta13oo or Imperial because I was going through depression and anger issues", and would take inspiration from traditional hip-hop, drum and bass, trap, poetry, and jazz. The same day, a North American and European tour promoting the album (with guest acts Kenny Mason, Mike Dimes, Redveil, and PlayThatBoiZay) was announced. On February 24, Curry released another single from the upcoming album, "Zatoichi" featuring Slowthai. It was accompanied by a music video also directed by Adrian Villagomez. On March 18, Curry announced the album would be released on March 25. On March 21, a third single, "Troubles" featuring T-Pain, was released along with a music video. The album was released on March 25, 2022. It debuted at number 51 on the Billboard 200 chart, and at number 23 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
Curry recorded a song featuring rapper Reason, "1st Quarter", as a contribution to Apple Music's "collection of exclusively commissioned new songs from Black creatives", titled Juneteenth 2022: Freedom Songs. He commented: "It's an accomplishment to make it through the first quarter of my life. Especially as a Black man in America".
Curry's song featuring PlayThatBoiZay, "Let It All Hang Out", was included in Elvis—a biographical movie about Elvis Presley that premiered in June 2022—as well as on the movie's soundtrack album.
On June 24, 2022, a collaboration between Dot da Genius, JID, Curry, and Kid Cudi, titled "Talk About Me", was released, along with a music video directed by Cole Bennett. On June 29, 2022, Curry performed an NPR Tiny Desk Concert. On July 21, he performed "Walkin" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
On September 30, 2022, Curry released Melt My Eyez See Your Future (The Extended Edition). The album features reimagined versions of songs from the original album with live instrumentation performed by the Cold Blooded Soul Band, which performed with Curry on his NPR Tiny Desk Concert and The Tonight Show performance.

(Denny Cascade)
(Denny Cascade)
Got hella hoes like a home depot so you already know
I gotta keep that hammer
Juicy J shades on a nigga eyelids
Sea Fonk bitch, rockin' with a Fiji bandana
You not a dime you a quarter
Flex nigga like yoga
Complex nigga I'm Yoda
Mothafucka I'm a soldier
Fuck her suckin' on my cobra
You don't wanna say it's over
But she wanna bend over
Denny, I'm a supernova
Flat nights make you stronger
Feel like I don't belong here
Feeling like I don't belong here
Denny Cascade, rollin' wit a green AK
Ain't Eazy, like I'm bumpin' Dre Day
But a nigga ain't cray, Denny got the answers, no Ye
But when the white comes I Sway
Niggas be prey, slaves to the ways everyday
Save a ho, S curled in the cape, doggin' these hoes
Nigga raw doggin these hoes, until the bitch say she's late
Bitches on my dick, purple weed like Prince
Better tell these hoes, bitch I ain't Clark Kent
Denny Cascade charge hoes like rent
Bumpin' triple-6 chiefin' while I'm shining moonlit
In a Cadillac, splat, puff on the doja, the thraxx
Pushin', she burn, the cat
Beat the pussy up all the way to the max
I beat the pussy up all the way to the mat
Got hella hoes like a home depot so you already know
I gotta keep that hammer
Juicy J say that a nigga I knew
Sea Fonk bitch, rockin' with a Fiji bandana
Let me take you underwater
You not a dime you a quarter
Flex nigga like yoga
Complex nigga I'm Yoda
Mothafucka I'm a soldier
Fuck her suckin' on my cobra
You don't wanna say it's over
But she wanna bend over
Denny, I'm a supernova
Flat nights make you stronger
Feel like I don't belong here
Feeling like I don't belong here
Okay the moon is out, blunt is lit
Ride around space fuckin' the baddest bitch
Divin' in the portal 'cause we splashin' in
You know the captain is Denny Cascade
Mr. Universe, gangster
Hanging mouth down like an anchor
All my bitch wanna kiss like Kankers
Get your hoes like lookin' up a chaser
But if you need that, I got it
Presidential new Reaganomics
Break it down smoking on the chronic
It's the shaman, Denny Cascade
And you know it's me, come with me
Fried as the lock on the Aqua Teen
Purple the galaxy, I can see
But this is how truly you know it's me
Got hella hoes like a home depot so you already know
I gotta keep that hammer
Juicy J say that a nigga I knew
Sea Fonk bitch, rockin' with a Fiji bandana
Let me take you underwater
You not a dime you a quarter
Flex nigga like yoga
Complex nigga I'm Yoda
Mothafucka I'm a soldier
Fuck her suckin' on my cobra
You don't wanna say it's over
But she wanna bend over
Denny, I'm a supernova
Flat nights make you stronger
Feel like I don't belong here
Feeling like I don't belong here
