We are so EXCITED to announce our fall virtual welcome week concert with Denzel Curry!! This is a night you should...come through with no tears.

Miami-area rapper Denzel Curry balances rhymes packed with intense and introspective content and an evolving production palette that can draw upon hazy cloud rap and classic hip-hop songcraft. After issuing a series of well-received mixtapes in the early 2010s, he made his official studio debut with 2013's underground favorite Nostalgic 64, later entering the charts for the first time with his 2018 major-label debut TA13OO.

Born in Carol City, Florida to Bahamian and Native American parents, Curry started writing poetry as an elementary school student, later battle rapping at his local Boys & Girls Club. Influenced as much by 2Pac as Buju Banton, his lyrical gift and packed bars were combined with his rabid energy on early mixtapes. Following a viral 2019 cover of Rage Against the Machine's "Bulls on Parade" for Australian Triple J radio, Curry returned in May of that year with the single "Ricky." Named after his father, it was the first taste of his fourth album, Zuu, a summer-friendly set influenced by everything that made him, including his hometown, Miami bass music, local Florida rap icons such as Trick Daddy, Plies, and Trina, and his parents. The set debuted just outside the Top 30 and featured guests Rick Ross, Kiddo Marv, Ice Billion Berg, and more. ~ Neil Z. Yeung, Rovi.

Denzel Curry’s set will consist of two parts: live-streamed performance with live Q&A session. Students will have the opportunity to submit questions to Denzel Curry before the show date with this link: https://tinyurl.com/denzelQA. The zoom link will be university provided and will be revealed closer to the performance date, so all UC Berkeley students can sign in with their login information.

This will be our first virtual concert to date, so get ready for a memorable evening...bring your faces so you’re not late and so...we can open the gates.
