Raised in Carol City, Florida, Curry started rapping while in sixth grade and began working on his first mixtape in 2011. On September 24, 2011, Curry released his first mixtape, titled King Remembered Underground Tape 1991โ1995. The whole project that Curry posted was later included on SpaceGhostPurrp's page, which prompted the birth of Denzel's music career. Following the release of Curry's first mixtape, Curry became a member of SpaceGhostPurrp's hip-hop group, called Raider Klan.
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 Elvisโa biographical movie about Elvis Presley that premiered in June 2022โas 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.

Denzel Curry Lyrics
Ooh, yeah, he mad
I'm racking up white diamonds
Throw me in the sky
You would swear the sun shining
Ooh, yeah, he mad
I'm racking up white diamonds
Throw me in the sky
You would swear the sun shining
In this gothic underground city, we all sin
If I bring a couple rounds with me then we all win
I came back and brought the crown with me, the king's den
Break your Nexus and your neck 'cause
Everybody's on your head
I might, just might kick your butt
Go run amok then paint my nails
Never learned to raise my hand
Was too busy raising hell
Everything I know I am
You should go and save yourself
Thought you had my number, huh?
Congratulations you played yourself
Underground utopia dynasties and dystopia
Fear is never an option so dying's not a real phobia
I'm beating the odds
Rising to every occasion as if I defeated the gods
Switch up the mod
Nothing but champions comin' up rolled in one little squad
Hold still while I bag that, uh
Talk bad 'til I snap back, uh
This ain't brown this that dark black
This that pitch black, jet black
Snap yo' ex watch me give him flashbacks
Pressure's rising fast as lighting they can't stop it now
If you ain't talking realness then just change the topic now
They laughing at the top like they can't see the bottom
And they thought I needed help but I got here without them
I am sharper than a pack of hundred razor blades
When the smoke clears, outta her, bet they name gon' fade
I'ma be here doing it, doing it my way
They said I should I change it up
But what did I say?
Ooh, yeah, he mad
I'm racking up white diamonds
Throw me in the sky
You would swear the sun shining
Ooh, yeah, he mad
I'm racking up white diamonds
Throw me in the sky
You would swear the sun shining
Hold still while I bag that, uh
Talk bad 'til I snap back, uh
This ain't brown this that dark black
This that pitch black, jet black
Snap yo' ex watch me give him flashbacks
I get that magic all on me, I feel like I'm Tracy McGrady
Enemies circled around me three-sixty, T count 'em one-eighty
I've been in court with the spirit beside me since I was a baby
Just getting chaotic y'all made me a product for
causing the chaos right here where they raised me
In this gothic underground city, we all sin
If I bring a couple rounds with me then we all win
I came back and brought the crown with me, the king's den
Break your Nexus and your neck 'cause
Everybody's on your head
Ooh, yeah, he mad
I'm racking up white diamonds
Throw me in the sky
You would swear the sun shining
Ooh, yeah, he mad
I'm racking up white diamonds
Throw me in the sky
You would swear the sun shining

This fight was the best storytelling in the whole season.
First, they show a flashback to Ekko and Jinx as children playing, highlighting the tragedy of their past friendship.
The scene serves a double purpose of explaining how Ekko uses his intellect to anticipate her moves based on what they did as children.
Then it rewinds back to the beginning, and Ekko ends the fight in seconds because he has her figured out.
It's the perfect blend of art, action, and storytelling.

"I don't need hours, or days, or years... I only need seconds."
I love how this quote determines how this fight goes. It's not an endurance test, it's all about speed for Ekko.
@ShotensGaming
He recalled the time of his youth and adapted. He's such a smart character. Always said ekko was my favorite champ I never played.
@iamamogus7702
*Timingโ not speed
@extraordinarilyordinarygam6935
Ekko also does have time manipulation
