Two sides of the same coin—that's how Kenny Beats himself puts it. In the press release, he says working with Denzel Curry has never been easy: the two always start from opposite ends and argue their way toward common ground. What they landed on this time is called "II."
It's been four years since their last collaborative album, "Unlocked." In that time, Kenny Beats officially changed his name to Kenneth Blume III, making "II" his first full-length reunion with Denzel Curry under the new name. The name may have changed, but that push-and-pull creative dynamic sounds just as intact.
"II" features nine tracks total, with Jpegmafia appearing on "Evil Grin," Westside Gunn showing up on "Crown," and Yebba joining for the closing track "Difference." That song also serves as the album's lead single, arriving alongside a retro-styled, laid-back music video.
The full tracklist includes "Gone Fishing," "Evil Grin" (feat. Jpegmafia), "Candlelight," "Product," "UPS," "Benjamin," "Cold Night in Hell," "Crown" (feat. Westside Gunn), closing out with "Difference" (feat. Yebba).
"II" is set for release via Loma Vista on August 21.
