In February 1995, Denzel Rae Don Curry was born in Carol City. He is a United States citizen who works as a rapper, singer, and songwriter, and whose career has come to span a striking range of musical genres.

Curry attended Miami Carol City Senior High School and Design and Architecture High School, both in his home state. As a recording artist, he has built a body of work that draws from hip-hop and trap music at its core, while also extending into trap metal, punk rap, conscious hip-hop, alternative hip-hop, cloud rap, and SoundCloud rap. That range of genre associations is unusually wide for a single artist, and it places him at several distinct intersections of contemporary American music simultaneously.

The variety of those genre affiliations points to the breadth of what Curry does as a writer and performer. Trap metal and punk rap pull toward raw sonic force; conscious hip-hop and alternative hip-hop open toward more reflective lyrical territory; cloud rap and SoundCloud rap connect him to a generation of artists who built audiences through digital platforms. That he carries credible associations across all of these modes speaks to the range he brings to his craft as both a rapper and a songwriter.

His biography as a performing artist is rooted in Carol City, and the record of his career — as a rapper, singer, and songwriter working across hip-hop, trap music, trap metal, punk rap, conscious hip-hop, alternative hip-hop, cloud rap, and SoundCloud rap — reflects a consistent refusal to settle into any single genre. It is that documented breadth of genre association, spanning more than half a dozen distinct categories of contemporary music, that defines the shape of his work.

I grew up, like - since I had a lot of brothers, I grew up listening to Hot Boys, Goodie Mob, OutKast, basically all the southern albums, like Silkk the Shocker, Master P, Soulja Slim, and then it just elevated on when I started getting into music and I started listening to Nas and Jay Z and stuff like that and Lupe Fiasco and whatnot.
