Nov 6, 2020A perfect short album that never gives you no time to rest with bangers like Lay Up. It draws from boom bap hip hop but mixes it with Kenny and Denzels respective sounds to create a unique and original album
-
Jul 31, 2020Denzel Curry never disappoints me. Tight rapping, vibrant sound, and killer beats.
-
May 20, 2020Curry's commanding, energetic, and undeniably charismatic presence as a performer may be just enough for listeners to forgive Kenny Beats' shockingly limp, vapid production, which too often plays like a collection of B-side Madlib rejects without any passion or soul to them.
-
Apr 27, 2020Denzel's take on MF Doom style with boom-bap Kenny Beats production is just lightning in a bottle. This tight 18 minutes is full of exciting samples, beat switches, and quite variety of faces from Curry, each with their own plethora of wordplay and smooth references. Such an exciting listen that leaves you wanting more.

Mar 21, 2020Absolutely love this album! High energy hard hitting Hip Hop , Denzel’s flow combined with Kenny’s production is the perfect storm! I’ll take this over mumble rap any day!

Mar 10, 2020Unlocked is a very enjoyable, fun album in the first listen, especially if you watch the short film/music video. After the first listen, though, more and more songs became less enjoyable, to the point that I at one point couldn't stand it.

Feb 25, 2020While Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats have proven that they can work well together the album was still largely hit or miss for me as I liked some sings liked "Diet" and "so incredible" none of the other songs really stuck with me and I find myself forgetting about a large portion of the album.
-
Feb 24, 2020I like this album, all the tracks are very consistent and very diverse. I like the hard beats made by Kenny Beats.

Mar 31, 2020“Unlocked” is a blast. It is a highly-enjoyable snapshot of an otherworldly dimension traversed by the superbly-skilled rapper Denzel Curry and the fantastic Kenny Beats. This EP delivers loads of strong bars and beats alike and is most definitely worth the listen.
-
The WireMar 11, 2020Denzel’s flows are as hungry as ever, at times managing to channel the untamed spirit of DMX (see “Diet”) while Kenny’s production is the ideal mix of weighty drums and potent bass. It’s an energetic listen and one that can hopefully act as some sort of cure for Old Heads Syndrome – the belief that no one is making real hiphop anymore. [Apr 2020, p.68]

Feb 28, 2020Although Unlocked concludes almost as soon as it starts, Curry and Kenny pack so much into this short release that repeat listens are a must and, indeed, a pleasure.
