"From Track One, minute one, it's immediately apparent that Denzel and the squad are pulling zero punches when it comes to putting on for Southerners. This is important, because the album is only eight tracks and 30 minutes long. The Scythe wastes no time getting busy."
"Over insanely-hard production that would fit neatly on a '90s Memphis jookin' compilation video, the South Carolina MC twists her voice to cover more ground in three bars than other artists manage in a whole song: 'The swag's off the chart, so that's why they don't invite me/ Spike Lee, come make a movie, booty, Nick at Nite me/ It's beef? Come and shoot it, I don't fuck with all that typing.'"
"Curry uses his verse on the song to home in on his goal with The Scythe: 'We take from the rich and we give to ourselves/ What's the point of me robbin' hood?' Denzel Curry has arrived at the point where he's providing songs."
Denzel Curry continues as a torchbearer of underground hip-hop, drawing heavily from Memphis' dark horrorcore scene pioneered by Three 6 Mafia. He establishes The Scythe, a supergroup featuring rappers Bktherula, TiaCorine, FERG from A$AP Mob, and Key Nyata from Raider Klan. Their debut project, Strictly 4 The Scythe, is an eight-track, 30-minute album serving as a tribute to the South's complicated musical legacy. The group delivers aggressive production reminiscent of '90s Memphis jookin' compilations, with each member contributing distinctive vocal styles and lyrical approaches that maximize impact within the concise format.
