Pitchfork's Best New Music: Denzel Curry's 'ZUU' - the sound of Florida

"There’s drug money, and speedboats, and ass shaking, and the U swagger. You can hear and come to appreciate his love for this place and its music. The album is so rich with the subtext of Florida, and local rap history, it feels lived in" - Pitchfork says about Denzel Curry's album 'ZUU', giving it it's Best New Music title. Consequence of Sound is more specific about the point of the album: "'ZUU' was made for a specific purpose and audience. This is an album for the day ones, a soundtrack to the Dade County summer experience filled with aggressive parties, violence, and the consequences they demand. 'ZUU' is Curry’s 'ASTROWORLD', unmistakably transporting us to a specific time and place and never apologizing for it".
