Best Hip Hop Songs of February 2020
“Pyro (leak 2019)” – Denzel Curry
Like much of Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats’ Unlocked album, “Pyro (leak 2019)” leaves listeners wanting more due to its short runtime. Despite clocking in at less than two minutes, the track is filled with potent bars and stylistic flair. From altered vocals on a Mario reference and hitting high notes like ODB to witty wordplay about Goodie Mob and Malcolm X, Curry packs a heavy punch on the lone verse of “Pyro (leak 2019).”
