Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats are back at it again with UNLOCKED 1.5. For the second-ish iteration of this joint album, you can expect huge features from the likes of Smino, Joey Bada$$, Sango, and more. If UNLOCKED wasn’t iconic enough, this version of remixes will change your life.

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.

It’s been two years since Kenneth Blume dropped the LOUDPVCK moniker and started pursuing his hip-hop production project Kenny Beats, and it’s been nothing but a pleasure to witness. Since 2018, the versatile producer has released multiple projects with established rap artists like KEY!, HoodRich Pablo Juan, and 03 Greedo. This time he teams up with Miami native Denzel Curry, who rose to stardom on Soundcloud in 2013 with his debut project N64 which featured his hit single ’Threatz.’ Since then, the lyrical genius has grown into a respected world-touring artist, so it’s no surprise to see him team up with one of the most respected producers in the game to give us the UNLOCKED EP.

Birthed out of a 24-hour manic studio session, UNLOCKED is a testament to these twos’ musical ability. Let Denzel teach you lyrical lessons behind a spastic Kenny beat filled with saturated basses and creative vocal modulation on ‘DIET_’. Take a seat while Curry delivers world-class lyrics with a cadence that is next to none behind an aggressive 808-heavy beat on ’Take_it_Back_v2’. There’s a track for all fans of hip-hop on this project, which yet again shows that there is no stopping mister Kenny Beats. Stream it now down below!
