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.
Drogas
Denzel Curry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shoe 'cause I ride like Christine
Trill black teen
Killing the, witnesses leaving the scene
I'm running with men and the
Gods and the Kings
Aquarius'Killa the murder machine
Bam bam bam when I'm cocking the beam
Word, leaving this shit in the dirt
After he came from a church
Riding a hearse, Curry the Killer, the curse
Putting my dick in her skirt
Making her squirt 'cause she love it, polite
LeToya Luckett
Sing on my dick then I kick her like a bucket
But Raider ain't dying
Killer Curry keep 'em crying
Cry me a river, then drag them to the river
Then I make them quiver shiver
That nigga make them quiver, cold
And Denzel Curry
I'm in my motherfucking mode
Yo, how many bitches do you
Got inside the hatchback? ('Back)
How much money can you
Stuff inside a knapsack? (Sack)
I need a couple Happy Meals and a lapdance
Shit, I ain't hard to please (Please)
What kind of gun do you
Hide inside your shoebox? ('Box)
Do you still hide money in your tube socks?
(Socks)
You ever lick a few shots at a new cop?
(Blaow, blaow, blaow)
Shit, now bring 'em up to speed
(Blaow, blaow)
No more Xannies, bitch
There's just a cup of alcohol
Mix it with some juicy juice and
Take that shit with Adderall
Sip the shake until my liver breaks
Fuck her in her little face and afterwards
I take all of the shit she makes
There's cocaine on her dinner plate
She snorts until her
Motherfucking vision pixelates
Ask the bitch if she wanted
A giant dick to taste
And when she says yes I'll beat
That pussy till it fucking breaks
I come in this bitch, likin'
The pussy I'm lickin' on
Fuckin' and rubbing the clit
Don't give a fuck or a shit
Raider the klan you know that
We running this shit
Triple the six, meant it to sell at VA
Now it's at 90 to 6
Spitting this shit like I come
With a lisp, truthfully
Bitches just cum on the big dick
And it's all in her lips
Enough of this shit let's go back to the crib
Came in the crib with a couple of clips
Close on my left there's a gun on my hip
Swag and I'm running a bitch
Hotter than a fucking brick
Off timing, fuck a rhyme scheme
I'm just grinding
Yo, how many bitches do you
Got inside the hatchback? ('Back)
How much money can you
Stuff inside a knapsack? (Sack)
I need a couple Happy Meals and a lapdance
Shit, I ain't hard to please (Please)
What kind of gun do you
Hide inside your shoebox? ('Box)
Do you still hide money in your tube socks?
(Socks)
You ever lick a few shots at a new cop?
(Blaow, blaow, blaow)
Shit, now bring 'em up to speed
(Blaow, blaow)
Girl, I want your pussy
Your pussy feels beautiful to me
And when I'm inside that pussy
The future is all I can see
Sliding up in it
Lofty305 gon' fuck you 'til you finish
'Til you finish and it's diminished
Then I'ma keep stroking to get my nut in
Then I'ma slap your ass on your fat butt
Baby girl
Yeah, you know you wanna just suck it
Because you so fine like LeToya Luckett
It's getting red, Lofty305, I pimp fat
With the mad fuckin' honeybuns plenty honey
Plenty hundies in my wallet, son
Lofty305 got all these bitches, yeah
I got the broads and now they're on, son
Like It's N64, yeah, nigga, ch'yeah

305 Dade county where a nigga live
Bust a nut, cover up her face with jizz
Bust a nut, teabag that dirty slut
Fuck the bitch in the coochie, mouth
And the butt three holes so you know you
Gotta fill 'em all
Hit every fucking ho, drink the alcohol
Tell that bitch
"Drink the alcohol or the get the ball"
Put that bitch up on the tub
Now she's so far gone on all up in the room
Butt naked dancing
Now the ho butt naked and she booty shaking
Oh shit, now that shit done turned on
Good music so the bitch finna suck my dong
Suck my shlong, what I told to a Jewish ho
Aw, I was gonna rip it
The lyrics of Denzel Curry's "Drogas" delve into themes of violence, hedonism, substance abuse, and sexual prowess. In the first paragraph, Curry paints a vivid picture of a dark and chaotic world where he aligns himself with powerful figures like gods and kings. Through aggressive imagery and explicit language, he asserts his dominance and fearlessness, boasting about his murderous capabilities and sexual conquests. The use of gritty details, such as putting his "dick in her skirt" and making her "squirt," highlights Curry's aggressive and crude nature as he revels in his own destructive tendencies.
The second paragraph shifts to a more materialistic and self-indulgent tone, as Curry poses questions about possessions and illicit activities. References to hiding weapons and money in unconventional places like shoeboxes and tube socks suggest a sense of paranoia and criminality. The repeated use of onomatopoeic sounds like "Blaow, blaow" enhances the aggressive and confrontational atmosphere of the lyrics, portraying a sense of recklessness and defiance towards authority figures like law enforcement.
Moving on to the third paragraph, the lyrics take a dark turn as Curry delves into drug and alcohol abuse, detailing a destructive lifestyle filled with substance-fueled escapades and violent sexual encounters. The graphic descriptions of drug use, promiscuity, and physical abuse towards women reinforce the toxic and nihilistic nature of Curry's persona. The references to cocaine, Adderall, and violence towards women paint a disturbing picture of a man consumed by his own vices and desires, willing to go to extreme lengths for temporary gratification.
The final paragraph introduces a different perspective through the voice of another artist, Lofty305, who continues the theme of sexual conquest and debauchery. The lyrics depict a hedonistic lifestyle filled with casual sex, objectification of women, and rampant substance abuse. The graphic descriptions of sexual acts, partying, and explicit language highlight the hedonism and disregard for consequences that permeate the narrative of the song. Overall, "Drogas" portrays a bleak and unsettling portrayal of a world consumed by violence, self-destructive tendencies, and a lack of moral compass.
