Denzel Curry - The Ills (Official Audio) 

The flows, the drums, the sick piano licks, the scratches, the story, the wisdom. Incredible. This album surpassed my expectations. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This instrumental is so genuine and other worldly. This album is contemplative, focused, and honest. Really happy to hear such a great artist.

Love the Nujabes vibes here, amazing track and nutritious lyrics. Tenoutaten

I'm lost for words on how good this is, bro please keep making boombap and lyrical stuff like this, this was the best album of the year

And just like that Denzel gave us the album of the year 🧿🖤

THE FLOWS, RHYMES, BEAT, DRUMS, FEATURES. EVERYTHING IS SO RELAXING AND STIMULATING AT THE SAME TIME!! ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! ZELTRON THE GOAT

This album tops TA13OO for me. Every track is sonically a masterpiece

Just finished the album and goddamn it Curry you did it again since taboo till now You’ve been a pillar of support for me and thousands of others who warship your lyrical mastery.

One of the best albums I've heard in awhile💜

This is one of the smoothest beats I've ever heard

Fuck I love the versatility of the vibes on this album. You never cease to amaze zel

So nobody heard that Kdot knod 2:31🤯🔥🔥

Finished the album but I'm gonna run it back because it was that good

Beautiful outro. That piano is so nice and the album as a whole was outstanding

The album was jsut amazing

Is it cheesy to say this just became my #1 end to end listen, album ever. Vibe held in EVERY TRACK…???

Alright I listen to the whole album and I gotta say, 10/10 album. The beat in some of the songs sounded like it can be in the 80s or 90s, I like his flow, this whole album is just a vibe, and the story telling in some of these songs is creative. I definitely recommend listening to this album.

"Forgive me for all I've done cause I be barely praying" hits close to home

Not one bad song on the whole album and trust me i don’t say that all the time

if you’re seeing this after listening to the whole album, hope you have a good day/night. love you, from a human that enjoys great music to another.

Lyrics: Yeah, huh My mind is a playing field for mental arguments My thoughts are sayin' my emotions is who started it My personality always conflicts with other people The good in me has never been conscious of seein' evil I could be ferocious in my times of feelin' feeble Sick of life's ills, it could be short for illegal Common sense, a victim to sensory deprivation The mediator met with it all is in meditation Lord invited me to stay idly on his left side So I can right my wrongs in these songs to live and let die Channellin' Notorious, Makaveli and Left Eye Son of raw, speakin' on horrors to see who am I? Topple leaders, runnin' with demons, countin' it even always Silhouette-surfin' and stretchin' through mental hallways Demons on my mind, they know where to hide, really Then nine minutes later, I'm met with the nine milli' So nine times out of ten, I'm probably going to Hell 'Cause I'm the devil, which means I sold my soul to myself Shelf all of my worst fears in the mason jar glasses Next to all the dreams and things I ever imagined Book of magic, psilocybin, man, is a talisman Speak my name in vain, it will be met with some challenges I devise a way to rise, time to strategize The purest form of Zeltron made me alkaline I'm seein' illusions in the pockets of my brain I use it, then find a way to illustrate my pain Confusion, 'cause you don't understand a word I'm sayin' Forgive me for all I done, 'cause I be barely prayin' The kid inside me always seems to man up The higher power is within myself, no need to pan up Believe in U-L-T the way a child believes in Santa Manipulate the masses and the media on camera Black holes and white lights, white noise and black sun Shadows and bright lights are crooks back in action Surrounded by dismay, I display visions of a way For Heaven on Earth and hell on Earth to fight for night and day Apocalyptic hoes conflict against my optimistic hopes The rope's around my neck are golden chains for me to choke My locs reflect the locks and the flames that burn across In my very nation, I walk with my peers, surrounded by chalk Deities and darkness meetin' at my dinner table Deeper than rap, my kife is real, this is my mystic fable Play the bad guy just to finish the race first 'Cause the last guy was nice, but he end up dying of thirst I'm seein' illusions in the pockets of my brain I use it, then find a way to illustrate my pain Confusion, 'cause you don't understand a word I'm sayin' Forgive me for all I done, 'cause I be barely prayin' I'm seein' illusions in the pockets of my brain I use it, then find a way to illustrate my pain Confusion, 'cause you don't understand a word I'm sayin' Forgive me for all I done, 'cause I be barely prayin'

Denzel gets it ... Maybe I'm tuning in too tough but he really touching on some serious things in his music. Alot of us are where he is mentally but he decided to express that and he did it well. Thank you Mr.Curry 🙏🏿

just finished the album and all i have to say... denzel is built differnet Best album of 2022 IMO

This song in particulate connected with me the most on every level

Another amazing track! Denzel.....am definitely impressed by the thematic approach that you've applied to this particular project. I've been instructed by members of your trillass fanbase to visit earlier works to comprehensively understand your discography. Even the musicality of this current project oftentimes feels like the soundtrack of some reminiscent journey. With the inclusion of boombap, record scratches, & live instruments your production team has created an atmosphere so familiar that a listener may have difficulty distinguishing if the track is literally sampled from yesteryear or actually dripped in nostalgia. BRAVO ZEL👏🏽

Dunno if anyone else noticed but this is the only clean song on the album. Now I love some good explicit lyrics but it just shows his talent that you don't even really notice. Something to play for the kids and old folks too

Best ones from the Album: 1. Troubles 2. X Wing 3. Sanjuro 4. Ain't No Way

This is a certified calm vibe

This is the best track I’ve heard of his. Fucking phenomenal in every single aspect! Insanely deep logic, thoughts, and feelings both stirred up by this and listening to this. Much love from the 515 OG!

Love from Philippines bro. I rock with your music everyday man!

This beat sounds like something Nujabes would produce if he was still alive RIP to the legend 🙏🏾🙏🏾 and Denzel is the greatest to ever do it, straight up legend himself

DENZEL. Damn this one hit me like a truck ❤️love your music bro and this takes it to the next level!

I like the Cold Blooded Soul version too but this one just reminds me of that Charlie Brown Christmas sound which makes it comfy. And that's fits with it being the last track, I'm all for it. I'm excited again to see where Denzel goes from this album.

Honestly one of the greatest songs

This is one of my favorite songs, thank you for writing it.

I’m going to be enjoying this album for years to come, I can already tell. The versatility is incredible, and the production is unbelievable, too!

Thanks for Album Denzel, It's got a very mature, introspective, and unique sound. I'll have this one on repeat for the next few months.

Thank you, Denzel for all the great music. You're catalog is consistent, diverse, and cohesive. You truly lived up to the hype after all these years.

Definitely this be the album of the year,what a chilled,beautifully crafted album and you such a great hip hop artist and a great rapper💯🔥

Great album! / I remember when i first heard Denzel, it was in 2019 and i was skeptic about him but went on a concert in Minneapolis and since then i am a huge fan of his art, he had some insane energy on stage back then, I still remember the madness of this concert

This is one of the best songs in an incredible album. Gives me crazy vibes 👊

Absolutely magnificent 🙏🏼👏🏼💚🔥

The vocals in the background during the breaks gave me chills. I bumped the whole album this whole week backwards and forwards. Definitely AOTY worthy 🤌🏾🔥

What an experience this album was, great work Denzel!! definitely one of your best if not your best body of work yet. Can't wait to see what's ahead in the future for you and your music. All love from NYC🗽❤

Such a harmonizing and flawless outro to close this masterpiece of an album!!⭐⭐🔥🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜💜

Re listened to the whole album , absolutely incredible work by denzel , really proud to see how far he’s gone 👏🏿

what you bring is forever an inspiration to find solace in during tough times. thanks for all of it.

That's so smooth beat with flow

this is my favorite track off the album tbh, just finished listening to it. Gonna rewind the whole album cuz its so good tho

People have already commented on how well everything from the drums, piano, and lyrics come together, but I still feel like leaving this comment. This might be the most serene and beautiful track Zel has released thus far. The beat reminds me of a smooth ride down the river and denzel is just floating along with some of his most personal and illustrative (pun unintended) bars. It really shows his growth as a person and as a artist. Glad you’ve made it this far Mr. Curry. I’m excited for what the future holds and can’t wait to see you live soon. 🤟

Smooth outro.😌 it sings… Denzel this is the end to the beginning. The whole album is apocalyptic.👌🏾🧚🏽

Denzel Curry is a huge inspiration to me and I WILL produce a song for him one day.

Damn I remember stumbling on n64 in video productions class with the homies. I miss my friends I hope they're doing good and thank you denzel for always making music full of memories. Hope you're doing good brotha

Great outro. This album was amazing 🔥💯😭

Favorite song on the album, the beat is so goddamn good it just has a great vibe! 10/10 album

This is a fantastic album. Thank u Denzel!

One word for this album. Iconic.

I would give everything to hear this album for the first time again. What a masterpiece you gave us Denzel. Been on repeat everyday since it dropped. Thank you for this great and honest piece of art

This song is beautiful, great way to conclude an album, this song really feels therapeutic and gives me a sense of hope at the end of hellish the road. Keep Walking.

God damn fam so many bangers on this album

What an amazing way to close off the record. I love this track so much. It's like a brain massage. The type of song to get you high when you're sober. It's so obviously an important track to him but he placed it at the end of this album, meaning it will naturally receive less plays than the other tracks.. Looking at it's stats, it is one of the least listened to songs on this album - But it's the perfect closer. That is where it needs to be, at the end. He knows that and put it there despite it subsequently receiving less exposure. I really respect that from him. He's all about the art. What an awesome artist.

ONE OF THE BEST BY FAR. UP THERE WITH PLANET SHROOMZ AND TABOO. ANOTHER MASTERPIECE BY THE MAN WHO NEVER DISAPPOINTS. I HOPE TO SEE YOU NEXT TIME

PLEASE, I BEG PEOPLE DON'T SLEEP ON THIS ALBUM. BEST RAP ALBUM THIS YEAR SO FAR

This song and Album is a masterpiece denzel🗣

ALBUM OF THE YEAR GOING CRAZY RN

The Best Way to close an album ♥️

My god. Amazing.

My favourite song of the album. Just incredible

Such a beautiful body of work from the legend himself, Denny Cascade ❤️

Album of the Year. All I can say is congratulations Denzel.

This is the first time I've heard anything by Mr. Curry and I must say, this album is easily a possible best of the year with first listen!

Not only is this song just complete art, but his lyricism is spitting straight facts and important knowledge/wisdom

🖤🔥olympic level depth and word play

full chub from start to finish of this album

Beautiful

I've been sleeping in denzel curry cuz I wasn't a fan of ultimate but when walkin dropped i knew I had to check this album out and its one of my favorites this year

beat so heavenly❤

This one got me😭😭so beautiful, coming from someone who got over a violent multi-year fight with voices in their head. Most songs about it are an insult to the actual kind of stuff your mind does to you. This was magnificent. Also, still freaking out, I realized that this track wasn't explicit when I found it on Spotify. He did....all that...without cussing😱

Mad nasty production🔥+ rap from planet nine = some unknown fire that keeps never does down nor gets stated it just happens like oxygen

my fav artist of all time personally

sweet and lovely track

The lyricism... Damn!

Perfect wrap up for the album

Im on the Zeltron train now, you got me hooked. Love your art.

THIS ALBUM OF THE YEAR RIGHT YEAR. TOO UNIQUE 🔥

I love this vibes

Hey Denzel, I appreciate you and your music; honestly saved my soul. Peace and love my friend, hope to meet you one day 💜

I love ya style Denzel keep on vibing I Love You’re Dense Lyricist Skills Bruh 😎 Forever Making It Look Mad Eazy

What an unbelievable album. Easily best album 2022 and arguably the best of the 2020's so far

Not only is my favorite album of the year but this might be my favorite song of all time it’s just too good the way it makes me feel this is not a album it’s a experience truly every music video every song good job zeltron
