Denzel Curry links up with ASAP Rocky for the first time

The single, produced by UK talent Kwes Darko, showcases a menacing beat that perfectly complements the fast-paced, punchy rhymes delivered by the three MCs.

ASAP Rocky's feature on "Hoodlumz" is particularly significant given the history between his rap crew, the New York-based ASAP Mob, and Denzel's former crew, the Florida-oriented Raider Klan.

Back in the early blog era, the two groups, both heavily influenced by Memphis trap and Houston's chopped-and-screwed sound, were not exactly friendly. While they weren't outright enemies, there was a palpable tension and rivalry between them.

This collaboration indicates that whatever issues existed between Rocky and Curry have been resolved, although neither artist is particularly close with their old crews anymore.

"Hoodlumz" is the third single from King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2. It follows "Hot One," featuring TiaCorine and former ASAP Ferg, and "Black Flag Freestyle" with That Mexican OT. Each release has helped maintain excitement for the album, which drops in just a few days.

UK producer Kwes Darko has crafted a suitably menacing backdrop for "Hoodlumz." His production sets the stage for Curry, PlayThatBoiZay, and Rocky to deliver their verses with precision and intensity.

The track's relentless energy is reminiscent of a Killer Instinct Ultra combo, with punchy rhymes flying almost faster than the listener can catch them.

Fans of Denzel Curry have eagerly awaited the release of King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2, and "Hoodlumz" is a powerful teaser of what's to come.

The album promises to deliver the same high-energy, lyrically sharp content that has become Curry's trademark.
