Denzel Curry has dropped a scorching new track titled “SKED,” featuring Atlanta rapper Kenny Mason. Stream the accompanying video, directed by Omar Jones, below.
Produced by Charlie Heat, “SKED” features a trunk-rattling beat that pairs well with Curry’s stark description of the paranoia that stems from his upbringing in Carol City, Florida. “I don’t go to sleep without a Glock by my bed,” he raps on the chorus. “I don’t say no names ’cause them boys might be the feds/ I’m about my family, God, business, and my bread.”
Following Curry’s lead, Mason fills his verse with colorful wordplay about guns. “Power Ranger Glock, bullets came in different colors,” he spits. “Bitch, the crib I’m in got more sticks than acupuncture/ Ain’t on safety, press to coverage, who in the fuck he think he pressin’?”
Mason recently popped into one of Curry’s sold-out shows at New York City’s Blue Note Jazz Club to perform the track together. “SKED” follows Curry’s return in July with “BLOOD ON MY NIKEZ” and its Juicy J remix. In August, Curry dropped “ICE COLD ZEL FREESTYLE” featuring ICECOLDBISHOP. He also popped up in EARTHGANG’s “Die Today” video.
Curry’s last album, Melt My Eyez See Your Future, was one of the best albums of 2022. Fans who happen to be in Abu Dhabi next month can catch him live at Bla Bla Dubai; grab your tickets here.
Meanwhile, Mason has dropped a series of EPs this year — pr3, 3, and 6 — after sharing his Ruffs mixtape in 2022.
