Denzel Curry has always been sort of an anomaly, never quite fitting in anywhere in rap; although he’s of this new generation of rappers, he’s never really felt comparable to the others in this wave, and he’s too different from the ‘traditional’ rapper to be lumped in with them either. That’s probably a large part of why he’s never really broken through like some might have thought. Unlike most of those artists given the ‘soundcloud’ rap label, Denzel clearly cares about his craft, what he’s saying, and the theatrics of it all. TA13OO (Taboo) feels like it was meant to be some sort of concept album with a clear message it wanted to convey. But its execution fell well short of its intention; it’s highly varied in it’s styles and songs but it ends up just feeling disjointed because of that wild variance and no matter how much conviction he puts into what he’s saying it all feels forced and hollow as a result. There’s definitely some interesting concepts on the project, but as whole it didn’t really deliver something very compelling – still leaving Denzel Curry on the outside looking in.

Dave East - Karma 2 | Reactions | LIVING LIFE FEARLESS
'Karma 2' doesn't do much in terms of pushing Dave East's craft forward but it is a very solid project that delivers on that signature gritty NY sound that his core fans expect from him.

Wiz Khalifa - Rolling Papers 2 | Reactions | LIVING LIFE FEARLESS
Like all of Wiz Khalifa's recent projects, 'Rolling Papers 2' has it's fair share of noteworthy moments, but that gap between the really good and the really bad is still wide as ever.

Jay Rock - Redemption Reaction | Reactions | LIVING LIFE FEARLESS
On 'Redemption' Jay Rock has clearly pulled out all the stops and it's resulted in his best, most complete project to date and a perfect pairing of his more traditional gangsta rap sensibilities and rap's more modern sounds. This is the definitive Rock album we've been waiting for and it stands tall even among this summer full of giants.

You loving me is forbidden, loving you back is a crime
I wrote this poem for you, forever remain in my rhymes
I knew you wasn’t normal ever since the age of nine
I, heard you were molested when you hit the age of five
So, in a sense I sensed that all your innocence had died

– “Taboo”
