Denzel Curry - The Ills (Official Audio) 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

The album was jsut amazing

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.

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

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

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.

This is a certified calm vibe

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

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!

Honestly one of the greatest songs

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!

Probably his best-written song? Full of evocative imagery and beautiful figurative language, this is when rap becomes literary.

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

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

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

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👏🏽

That's so smooth beat with flow

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

full chub from start to finish of this album

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

This album was practically perfect

The lyricism... Damn!

My god. Amazing.

beat so heavenly❤

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

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

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

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. 🤟

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

This song and Album is a masterpiece denzel🗣

THIS ALBUM OF THE YEAR RIGHT YEAR. TOO UNIQUE 🔥

Ain't been an album like this since Little Brother - The listening....man,. What an accomplishment. A true classic album

this album is great

The lyrics on this song reminds me that rap is poetry

God I love Denzel curry

Great outro. This album was amazing 🔥💯😭

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

excellent Denzel, Shalom la CHA, peace to YOU my brother. just excellent.

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

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'

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 🤌🏾🔥

One word for this album. Iconic.

Just👏

God damn fam so many bangers on this album

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.

Perfect wrap up for the album

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

Words can't describe the love I got for this song

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

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💯🔥

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

Zel migh've solidified himself as one of the absolute best of this generation with this album.

The best denzel track to this date Fuckin hell

Album of the year for me so far. if will be difficult for any artist to top this off form me tbh unless somebody like kendrick or frank ocean drops an album. Amazing experience

Can't help but relate to these bars.

One of the best rap songs ive heard

All i can say is Album Of The Year no doubt about it.

🔥🔥

album is phenomenal!! fuckin love this track!!

this ablum is like the relfection of one life seeing the different aspects of life

Making us feel sum sum 💕🧿

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.

This ones my favorite from the album so far

I thought the music wasn't playing from my headphones at the start. scared me not gonna lie

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😱

Letss goo, this whole album boutta slap
