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.

Shoutouts to Juneteenth 4EVA and the whole team. We had the opportunity to join the Juneteenth 4EVA team this year building out community engagement around the holiday.

Sticking to the original roots of what Juneteenth stands for, we organized a weekend celebration for our people.

The weekend started off with a Harlem BarCrawl, the next day we had a Juneteenth 4EVA basketball tournament followed by a midnight bash and on the day of the holiday we celebrated Juneteenth with a cookout in riverbank state park followed by an after party in Brooklyn.

This year we focused on the laying the foundation of Juneteenth 4EVA and gathering the community in safe spaces to celebrate being black and free.

Special shoutout and thank you to 27 Delly for putting together this organization, hand picking your team and for investing into your community. 📺💐

With that being said continue to celebrate your existence as an aboriginal of these lands because everyday is black history.

What are you doing today to make history tomorrow? 📺✊🏿

It hurts my heart and bring tears to my eyes as I see the young children on their way to school this morning. Yesterday parents dropped their children off to elementary and kissed and hugged them for the last time. Their babies were gunned down like pigs on a farm for senseless reasoning that stems deep into this country’s morality and respect they have for the people of the land.

I am beyond tired. It hurts even more because my people just witnessed our elders be gunned downed in the supermarket. Now as a people we all mourn the murder of 19 beautiful elementary school children and 2 educators.

How can we look at our children on this risings and not shed tears in disbelief that someone could harm something so young and innocent yet the very essence of our future.
