    A lot of my best friends went to high school with Denzel and whenever he's been in town for the last 2 years I've gotten the chance to hang out with them in Carol City. Denzel doesn't smoke or drink at all despite it being around him and he's super fucking intelligent and every conversation I've had with him has been incredibly deep and covers all kinds of topics. Really awesome dude

      Medium D Speaks I can definitely confirm that. Was introduced to him by a friend in college like around 5 years ago and at the time I didn’t really know how big he was but I would go to a couple of his shows since I had friends as well were performing at those shows too. Dude is real cool, real intelligent like you said and he also has this great energy about him. It’s funny because I remember telling him casually he was going to blow up and now look, he really did!

    one of your best vids imo, i really saw the passion you had for making a vid about denzel. Im not the biggest denzel fan yet, bc ife not gotten into him enaught, but you really inspired me to dive into it (even tho i always wanted to). I always have that with some artists, where ik i will like them if i dive into them but i just didnt did it yet (yall know that?).
    One thing i rly respect about him is his passion to help younger artists (and hes still young himself, he seems to rly get it, respect) since the Industry can be deadly without guidance. like he did with X n Ski. he rly pushed them to be as great as they where/are today. Billie seems to be the new one, i love that...

      @@txbi6662 He is, but Billie is very, very talented as well. Although some of Denzel's early stuff was really good (especially Nostalgic 64 but he had a lot of stuff before that which wasn't that good), Billie just released her first album at 17 and it's not really on a much lower level than Taboo was. And in my opinion Taboo is Denzel's best album. Her EP isn't as good as Imperial, Zuu, N64, 32 Zel/Planet Shrooms, though. But her new album is pretty amazing.

Later, I heard his cover of bulls on parade and understood how much of a dynamic performer and artist he really is. Denzel is one of my favorite rappers right now. The man has the talent to carve out a career for himself that will exist long after the SoundCloud rap trend dies off.

    The mixed tapes were purposely compressed to sound like old Memphis records, that was the Memphis rap revival aesthetic which is now the entire trap sound. You should really look into making a video about Tommy Wright III or Three Six Mafia because those guys are pioneers of the sound. Or you could make a video about Blackland 666 or Mista Thug Isolation which are heavily influential for the internet rap culture. Any way great vid

    You should do one on Yung Lean/Dod Mark/Jonatan Leandoer127 who many people consider to be one of the most influential and ahead of his time artists of the 2010s. He popularized a whole genre of visual art and fashion style. Aswell, sonically he was incredibly influential to many of the biggest rappers around today. You should also cover the extreme trauma and depression he went through in 2015 when he was stuck in the mental hospital for almost a year after causing the death of one of his closest friends and a beloved person in the music industry and was forced to move back to sweden and work in a factory. This trauma echoes heavily in his recent music and videos see "Miami Ultras" "Metallic Intuition" and his "Stranger" Short Film + Album. Yung Lean went from someone who was once considered a meme to someone who is incredibly respected among high art circles.

    Just a quick note on Denzel's early music, the unpolished sound on his early work is quite deliberate, because a lot of Southern cloud rap at the time was very much Memphis rap inspired, characterized by dark lyrics, rugged flows and gloomy lofi instrumentals. Denzel eventually had to ditch the sound to break out of the underground though.
