XXPOSUREETV'S Week With Denzel Curry
By Mary Gordon
Back in May, I met Denzel Curry at his OnTheRadar performance with A$AP Ferg and Tia Corrine. I was there shooting with the Sewer Sounds and caught some dope BTS that became vital to the roll out of their single “Hot One” on King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2.

When Denzel touched down in New York to promote the album, he hit my line and we got to work. We headed over to the Brewery Studio in Brooklyn for a session. DJ Kal Banx & Artist Dillon Cooper stopped by the session to catch up with the Mischievous rapper as his album release date approached.
Aside from promoting the new release, Denzel was excited to explore New York City. We took him over to LAAMS where we chopped it up with manager, Stevie Skytel. Denzel broke down the history of Raider Klan, their influence in the industry, what worked, and did not work for the group. Using this as a formula and blueprint, Denzel Curry is building the foundation of Ultraground to be as legendary as Raider Klan.

Wrapping up our conversation, we then stopped by le PÈRE to style ourselves for his upcoming performance happening the very next day. We quickly headed over to Elsewhere for the Glass Animals concert where Denzel was a special guest performer. We ended our night back in the city at a Marc Jacob’s event promoting their new sunglasses.

Countdown to the midnight drop of King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2 was celebrated in partnership with SoundCloud and NoStrings. Denzel and members of Ultraground celebrated with guests and supporters bringing to life “Club Mischievous”.
While the streets was buzzing hot with the new album, we posted up live from le PÈRE to celebrate the release of King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2. Denzel performed songs off the album with guest performances by; A$AP Ferg, Tia Corrine, Key Nyata, and PlayThatBoiZay. The event was presented by Pigeons & Planes,
RENEGADE, and le PÈRE. Powered by Monster Energy Ultra.

After the performance we headed over to 42nd street to view the King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2 billboard. In celebration of the billboard and album released A$AP Ferg gifted Denzel Curry a cake with “K.O.T.M.S Vol.2” written in icing. We ended the night at Republic Records joining Ferg for a Sewer Sounds X Ultraground session.
A legendary week with legendary people presented to you by XXPOSUREETV 📺🏆‼️
