    Ultimately, easily one of the most simultaneously hardest and atmospheric hip-hop albums of the year.

    Curry has constructed a project that plays to the sonic structures of the era without sacrificing meaningful content in doing so. TA13OO is the culmination of his promise and talent, resulting in Curry’s magnum opus.

    Realistically, Ta13oo is extremely satisfying from a consumption standpoint. It’s everything I’d want from a rap album this year.

    His new LP is a sonic assault; holding tight to punk ruthlessness and discipline, drenched in Dirty South origins. [Oct 2018, p.68]

    Incorporating varied delivery and production, TA13OO taps into his established style, which combines aggressive trap with rapid-fire bars ("Sumo," "Super Saiyan Superman"), while also adding smoothed-out hip-hop atmosphere and patient vocal restraint ("Sirens," "Cash Maniac"), which was only hinted at on Imperial's throwback gem "Zenith." TA13OO is split into three sections--Light, Gray, and Dark--and delves into introspective self-examination and unflinching social commentary that tackles politics, sexual abuse, and mental health.

    It’s when he sticks to the highly personal that Curry’s music is devoid of all cliché--the power of his performance, the veracity of his pen, and the color of his wordplay make him an expert at voicing the tribulations of this doomed condition we call being young.

    TA13OO is an album made by Denzel Curry and follows him as he raps about loss, life and human condition. In the opening track of this albumTA13OO is an album made by Denzel Curry and follows him as he raps about loss, life and human condition. In the opening track of this album you realize that you're about to experience something very different from a lot of rap albums out now. The slow melodic sad chorus gives you insight on how Curry's life was and still is a tragedy. TABOO, Black Balloons, Cash Maniac, and Sumo might be some of the best opening tracks I've ever heard. Even though the first three tracks had a consistent tone of choices and death, then Sumo comes in sounding like a trap banger out of nowhere. Still a very good song. And honestly 75% of songs on this album are classics. That's it. Point blank. The production quality on the tracks is immaculate. It makes the listener feel as though they are in hell. Or the mind of an extremely tortured person that is hell for them. Curry's pen game is on point. He raps some of his best lyrics on this album. Whether it's about drying tears with a dollar bill, or taking more steps in the path that you choose, Denzel always conveys emotions to the listeners accurately and how he wants them to hear it. While nearly all of the tracks are amazing, Curry doesn't balance the tone of the three different parts evenly. As mentioned before the first three tracks being somber and thoughtful, then switching to a trap beat filled sumo doesn't really blend well together. Denzel Curry delivers once again with TA13OO with trap bops and hell filled tracks. And classic after classic on this album but just shy of perfect. This album earns its 9/10.… Expand
