Denzel is a phenomenal rapper. You can see his ability to alter very diffiult verses to avoid cursing and switch up the flow... super impressive. It's one thing to memorize a single way of singing a song, but this shows mastery.

[@howir0n1c2]

For real... people don't know how difficult that is to do

[@airhawaii23]

He's Next Level!

[@ARWG]

X-Wing is so addictive. Haven't stopped listening to it since the album dropped.

[@tommyn3522]

yo same, daily track.

[@zoltron2188]

i never get tired of it

[@yungxster9919]

same bro

[@charliewarner8874]

I was thinking how hard it would be to rap this well, while being mindful of not cussing and then Denzel addressed it. Most rappers just sort of hype of their tracks, but to actually go bar-for-bar with this tenacity is crazy, while also censoring yourself it's just crazy.

[@bermudafeathers]

Imagine being in the middle of a flow and still managing to censor yourself...Denzel deserves the world ong

[@McLebo]

He’s goated 🐐

[@merkingGuy]

lots of rappers do just what Denzel did on this, it's not that rare

[@merkingGuy]

a lot easier to do this when you aren't jumping around performing at a show as well

[@bermudafeathers]

@@merkingGuy I'm not a rapper so it's impressive to me. Y'all really can't handle someone saying something positive about someone.

[@bermudafeathers]

"I keep walking..." Man, Denzel is truly an incredible artist. Also that radio host is cool asf.

[@TheFantasticFox222]

Larry is the man!

[@loganventura4270]

One of the best performances in the last 5 years! Shout out Denzel!

[@loganventura4270]

yee

[@loganventura4270]

exactly

[@antiflag07]

The new album was one of those albums that gave me chills when I listened the first time. So good.

[@wobwobwubwub]

so fucking talented it's stupid and also seems like the nicest dude ever, humble and self aware as fuck

[@slackstarfish8133]

Melt Session #1 one of the best rap songs In the past few years

[@Suspendedsamuel]

I absolutely love Denzel the introspection in this album is amazing. The influence that Denzel and Tyler The Creator have had on my life through their music and personality is something that I am incredibly grateful for

[@DavinAsbury]

I'm with you if you love them both Kendrick is a god

[@Suspendedsamuel]

@@DavinAsbury true man I love Kendrick too but tbh he ain’t really had that much influence on my life personally tho I still have a ton of respect for him

[@DavinAsbury]

@@Suspendedsamuel songs that's mean a lot to me from Kendrick are FEEL, PRIDE, and sing for me/dying of thirst if you haven't you should check them out

[@Suspendedsamuel]

@@DavinAsbury Yeah I listened to Kendricks discography he’s definitely up there

[@josephwright4222]

you listened to much of Genesis Owusu. Touches on similar topics as Denzel but from a different perspective (being African Australian)

[@Mysterialic]

Love the rapport between Zel and the DJ.

[@thomas_h4288]

denzel one of those artists who refuses to not get better with each release. so excited to see how he follows this project up

[@a-arnr4169]

He said on Leakers freestyle there will be a deluxe which is a second half 🤷‍♂️🫠

[@domgatica_]

The beat to X-Wing is so mesmerizing plus the way he flows on it, it’s perfect. Shoutout Denzel one of my favorite artists out rn.

[@krmnych_backlog]

Really hoping to see Melt Session #1 with live drums. Man that rythm section is awesome.

[@magone8674]

Hell yea such a clean drum track

[@TroyChewning]

Check out the recent tiny desk he did. It's phenomenal.

[@krmnych_backlog]

@@TroyChewning Did so yesterday, and it's really good

[@thesmuuuuggh]

Walkin for sure one of the best songs dropped this year.

[@vikki5804]

he always sounds good in live

[@johnjackson1534]

Denzel speaking on growth touches my heart. When he says "since my birth, first seconds on earth, I've been the first one to confront all of these cycles" speaking on breaking our family cycles that we sometimes feel trapped within. Describe it as raw and real I'm giving you all the ears I'm tearing up like I'm on doctor Phil. Sometimes we must walk or even run from these patterns and relationships that trap us within negative cycles, friends, family, lovers.

[@jdwhodey]

This guy is a legitimately GREAT artist! It's so refreshing hearing a young rapper that gives me Outkast vibes with Outkast level artistry. I'm a little late in discovering this guy, but I already know that I'm always going to love his music. He's just too real to not appreciate.

[@schulzbot]

Still early but an the album of the year.

[@M1XEDBAG]

He not only performs his songs well but kept it classy for KEXP by trying to censor himself. What a class act Denzel is.

[@nocuh]

_Walkin_ is the whole vibe, stay driven 🔥

[@tannerfishalow4238]

Yeah man it’s the best

[@dougheafey2895]

Man that intro song is so fire! And the way it flows into walkin is too smooth 🤠

[@fantasticsituation9461]

what hes saying is really healing, didnt even know he had a new album this is so great

[@TylerGoody]

You can see it in his eyes he knows he has this shit on lock he knows what hes put out into the world with this record. Beautiful stuff

[@igweofart]

Mr Morale and the Big Steppers and Melt my Eyes See my Future are two of the best albums of the year

[@hermanperez3220]

Melt Session #1 into Walkin' gotta be the most beautiful transition ever..

[@tombittikoffer412]

This was ON IT. So connected. So listenable. Got me up. Got me moving.

[@ConcussedU]

When will this young brother be recognized as one of the greats? His skill set is unbelievable.

[@TheDobligator]

Denzel is a blessing. He's on his way to receiving the recognition he's deserved for so long.

[@fabioeliasreisritter8827]

Melt my eyez see your future growing to be my fav DC album. It's a though battle with all the great previous masterpieces he launched till this day, but man, since launch I didn't stop listening for a day. I keep walkin'!

[@machiel5888]

Same here!

[@Dawg93]

...why is no one talking about how deep this conversation about anime and music got at the end? KEXP therapy session

[@benedictcumberbatch35]

Holy shit this was so good

[@rbraghetto]

Listening Walkin is my daily mantra 🙌

[@gochuckyourself1892]

This is a breath of fresh air from KEXP, love Denzel

[@MrNwoll]

We Keep Walkin

[@eduardopadilla9958]

X-wing was my favorite from the line up. It's aggressive and flows smoothly.

[@pedropaulohonorato]

he is so talented and beautiful omg

[@freelance_commie]

Denzel is unreal, this was an amazing performance. It would be cool as hell to see jpegmafia in the KEXP building some day soon!

[@lynnpehrson8826]

Too edgy

[@freelance_commie]

@@lynnpehrson8826 peggy? Not really. Is KEXP an extremely conservative radio station or something? Just because someone has some envelope pushing subject matter doesn’t mean they are edgy. Watch his Narduar, thats the litmus test for if artists are edgy whatever that means. ✌🏻❤️🌞🎵🎶🎤👹✊🏻👽🙀

[@profd65]

This isn't Hip Hop Nation, bud. It's KEXP. Why don't you try listening to something different? They've already been playing plenty of hip hop lately; please don't try to change the format.

[@lynnpehrson8826]

@@profd65 i mean, hip hop is the most popular genre in the u.s, so it would make sense if there was more of it represented.

Thanks Larry for having my bud! Hey Denzel I’ll see you in Milwaukee July 18th, 2023!

never have clicked so fast on a kexp performance

I kno push dropped and Kendrick is gna in a week but this will have to be a massive year to take it out of my top 5 by the end of it. Frickin love this album

man, Denzel's passion for this game is infectious ! i love him !

Not only can I listen to currys music all day, I can enjoy just hearing him speak facts of life as well💯🙏

[@jorgek92]

this performance just made me buy tickets for his concert in Prague next week! I am so happy

[@BRedFilms]

Between Kendrick and Denzel, I feel a hip-hop renaissance is on its way.

[@chainmale6444]

Denzel is a national treasure and he must be protected at all costs fr

[@treesdonotrun]

denzel been leading the new generation

[@devinquinonez]

If this somehow reaches Denzel's eyes, please do an album with King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, a rap metal album(RATM style). It would be so dope, or just keep making music because I really enjoy all your projects.

[@jondal]

If he sees that comment he will for sure do what you want him to do!

[@kylemiller7334]

That would be wild! Gizz had 2 Beastie Boys sounding songs on their new album. Denzel + KG would make something special

[@devinquinonez]

@@jondal thanks for letting me know lol

[@TrebWales]

Slightly different but Denzel has done a fantastic cover of Bulls on Parade. You can find it on KZbin if it sounds interesting

[@devinquinonez]

@@TrebWales That's why I mentioned the Denzel doing an album with them. It would bang for sure, I love both artist so much. Also just a heads up the best rap/rocker is a dude named Kenny Hoopla he's a punker rocker with bit of a rapping style. I think he could revive punk rock with his style

[@lemonnbae1718]

have u ever cried because the bars are beautiful

[@RedRemRob]

The synergy between the DJ and denzel is impressive, that switching might’ve been annoying if they weren’t so tight

[@Anttt4ever]

Already bought the vinyl for melt my eyez and this my favorite album rn

[@ivomadeit]

Great performance by Denzel + outstanding sound engineering from KEXP. Denzel is a great performer live and this record has great replay value.

[@loco4naruto]

This is the guy Indeed!!!

[@nigheist003]

Before melt session ended, I got the album. Thank you once again KEXP!

[@jozzxiv8291]

So goated, he got me nostalgic I love this

[@s.youngwoo9409]

I felt that hard

[@JFREE360]

Brilliant artist. Thanks KEXP for everything you do to support great music!

[@aregeninotenshi6484]

Thank you for all you do, Zatoichi. Not just for the music but for the lessons, the vulnerability, the growth, and the brutal honesty. This is what life is about. Keep doing your thing. It’s crazy what happens when you do. Just keep puffing away and ignoring the doubters 💨

[@aregeninotenshi6484]

Also the initial lyric of being touched when he was six - I’m in literal tears. As someone raped by both of my parents from the age of 6-11 before they divorced….. ooofff. I’m glad kindred spirits exist. It’s so lonesome sometimes.

[@kod999]

man imagine being cudi's biggest fan 12 years ago and now you got a song with him

[@AcidSh33tz]

its nice to see real artist still in the game, Denzel just keeps growing as an artist and staying true to his art. good shit fam

[@cranklabexplosion-labcentr8245]

I remember seeing this guy in Chasers (pub rock) AZ live with not even 80 other people. Show went harder than seeing Fu Manchu a month earlier in the same place. Pure absolute bangers
