— Just weeks after the release of his 5th studio album, Denzel Curry calls on Key Glock for the remix of the album’s lead single, “Walkin”.
Following the release of his highly anticipated new album Melt My Eyez See Your Future, Denzel Curry shares an official remix for the album’s lead single “Walkin,” featuring an additional verse from Memphis rapper Key Glock. The new version of the song arrives in the midst of the European leg of his sold out World Tour alongside an Uncle Luke-created visualizer that sees live footage of Denzel performing the track. Before heading to Europe, the ferocious performer wrapped the first leg of his North American tour and dominated the Coachella stage accompanied by a life size “X-Wing” spaceship on stage.
Speaking on the new remix track, Denzel says,
“Tomorrow’s never certain and we all go through different obstacles everyday. The objective is to keep on walkin, or keep pushing forward. I reached out to Glock because I felt like he’s the perfect example of “Walkin”. Based on everything he been through & also being independent, it hasn’t stopped his grind. I’ve always been a fan of Memphis hip hop so it just felt right.”
Melt My Eyez See Your Future is the sound of the mercurial Miami rapper leveling up. His fifth album features singles “Troubles” with T-Pain, the samurai film-inspired “Zatoichi“ and “Walkin,” which arrived with an epic Sci-Fi Western. The album was a communal effort featuring contributions from the likes of Thundercat, Kenny Beats, Robert Glasper, JPEGMAFIA, slowthai, J.I.D, 6LACK, Rico Nasty, 454 and more. On each of the fourteen sumptuous tracks, Denzel is operating with the force of a full Jedi master, slicing through bars with dexterity, magic and control. Throughout the project, he processes internal and external conflicts in brave, boundary-breaking detail.
To his growing legions of fans, the intrepid soul-searching of this record will come as no surprise – after all, Curry’s music has always been confessional. From tracks like its eponymous opener, on which he pain-stakingly explores his own sex addictions, to the more outward-facing “John Wayne,” which addresses “gun violence in America and [his] community,” this is hip-hop truth-telling at its finest and most potent.
