Denzel Curry – King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2 (Silver)

Denzel Curry – KING OF THE MISCHIEVOUS SOUTH VOL. 2 (SILVER) is the Miami rapper’s most unguarded album in years, a project that steps back from the conceptual frameworks of his recent work and lets the rapping do the talking. Released on Loma Vista (catalog LVRC 4209), this is a limited edition indie exclusive pressing on silver vinyl, and it’s the format that suits the album’s aesthetic: direct, physical, a little raw at the edges.

About the Album: Denzel Curry – KING OF THE MISCHIEVOUS SOUTH VOL. 2 (SILVER)

Operating under his “Big Ultra” persona, Curry built this record around sounds drawn from Southern hip-hop heritage, specifically the Memphis tradition and the influence of groups like Three 6 Mafia. The ’90s-rooted production palette gives the album a tactile weight that pairs naturally with vinyl playback. Where his earlier albums leaned into tight conceptual arcs, this one is looser and more spontaneous, built on Curry’s comfort with the mic and his willingness to revisit and reconcile pieces of his own history. The featured roster reflects the reach of his network: A$AP Rocky, 2 Chainz, Ty Dolla $ign, and Juicy J all appear across the record’s fourteen tracks, which run from the KOTMS II INTRO through to the KOTMS II OUTRO with stops that include BLACK FLAG FREESTYLE, HOODLUMZ, and WISHLIST along the way.

Why This Pressing

The silver vinyl variant is an indie exclusive and a limited edition run, meaning availability outside of independent retail channels is not guaranteed. Loma Vista has put this out as catalog number LVRC 4209, and the LP format is the right way to sit with an album that was designed with Southern sonic traditions in mind. Bass-heavy, beat-forward production from this lineage has always been well-served by vinyl, and pressing it onto a coloured disc rather than black makes the object itself worth holding onto. If you’re building a collection of current hip-hop that actually documents where the genre is heading, a limited coloured pressing from an artist with Curry’s track record is a reasonable acquisition. He’s been consistent since his earliest tape-era output, and this album represents a distinct turn in his approach, one worth marking with a format that won’t disappear into a streaming catalogue.

Who Should Pick This Up

Florida rap collectors, fans of Memphis-influenced production, and anyone who’s followed Curry from his underground years through to his Loma Vista output will find this record sits well alongside both halves of that timeline. The silver pressing is a limited edition, and once independent retail allocation is gone, it’s gone. This is a purposeful record from an artist who knows exactly where he comes from.
