Denzel Curry, A$AP Ferg, TiaCorine, Bktherula, and Key Nyata have linked up for a new project that they’re calling the Scythe. Their debut album under the moniker, Strictly 4 the Scythe, is out March 6 via Loma Vista. The BNYX-produced lead single “Lit Effect” features Curry and Bktherula on the mic, with an extra feature from Lazer Dim 700. Check out its music video below.
A press release explains that Denzel formed the Scythe to pay homage to the South’s hip-hop legacy and tap back into “his futuristic takes on old-school regional rap” from Memphis, Houston, and Miami. “The Scythe is a family and a group,” Curry explained. “We still have our respective solo careers, but when we come together, it’s The Scythe.”
Strictly 4 the Scythe spans eight tracks in total and at times is reminiscent of Curry’s guest-filled King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2 — especially with the new LP’s lineup of featured artists including Juicy J, Smino, Rich the Kind, 454, Luh Tyler, Sadboi, and 1900Rugrat. The Scythe record is Denzel’s first full-length release since the 2024 album version of King of the Mischievous South.
