Benny kicks it off with a hard verse riddled with bossed-up raps that characterize his rawness and character with lyrics like, “My ability to turn words to imagery prolly the reason they gon’ remember me (Let’s talk)/ Figure me, walk this tightrope with a feline’s agility/ The streets did so much shit to me, I can never live civilly/ I can never leave the scene without checkin’ my mirrors visually (Mm-hmm)/ Come with that energy ’cause some shit gon’ always stick with me/ They wanna know what I brought to Griselda, I say, ‘Validity’/ They askin’ ‘What work y’all niggas put in?’, I’m like, ‘What didn’t we?'”

Continuing his run and working to cement his status as best rapper out right now, J. Cole delivers a show-stealing verse that is dripping with wondrous wordplay and razor-sharp punchlines. On the first portion he spits, “Stretchin’ the truth, know I never stress in the booth/ They feel the pressure, me I feel like I just left the masseuse/ Effortless, how I’m skatin’ on these records is proof/ I put your favorite rapper neck in a noose, never lettin’ them loose.” While the back half has him dropping genius raps like, “Collectin’ his bread in mass like he a Catholic preacher/ Just to count a nigga cash, you might need a calculus teacher/ Eureka, Einstein on the brink of the theory of relativity/ Really, no MC equal, feel me?” 

‘Johnny P’s Caddy’ will have you hitting rewind over and over to catch all the lines. Press play and dive in.

The first album was full of hard classic rap beats and flows but UNLOCKED 1.5 is all about the vibes. It starts off with Robert Glass and Smino giving their R&B take on ‘So.Incredible.pkg.’ Robert Glass’s vocal-heavy production was the perfect match for Smino’s smooth bars, giving just the right balance to Denzel’s more aggressive style.

Sángo also adds his soulful stamp to ‘Pyro,’ now featuring Atlanta legend, Kenny Mason. Curry’s raps over the Soulection producer’s beats create such a unique contrast. Kenny Mason joins the two for a verse, landing exquisitely-rhymed punches.

Another name we’ve been watching closely is Jay Versace. We were hyped to see him on this album as he remixes ‘Lay_Up.mp4a.’ The beatmaker is known for getting inspiration from his ancestral roots and creating musical conversations through his music. His rendition of the track utilizes haunting soundscapes to form a framework for Denzel Curry’s storytelling.

We can’t go without mentioning ‘DIET_1.5’ with Benny The Butcher. The track is the only one on UNLOCKED 1.5 that doesn’t feature a new beat, but instead, the Griselda rapper takes on the first verse, referencing current events and applying acute wordplay to share his experience in the rap game.

But there’s more where that came from. Listen to the full Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats – UNLOCKED 1.5 below.
