19-year-old Denzel Curry dropped a few mixtapes before he became widely recognized, and then bust onto the rap scene in 2013 with the release of his debut album Nostalgic 64. Some well-established artists in the genre, notably Mike G and Earl Sweatshirt, best known for their work in the collective Odd Future, noticed the American rapper for his earlier work, and Mike G went on to collaborate with Curry in his 2013 release.

Curry’s live performances can be compared to that of the Odd Future guys; hectic, lively and has an awesome atmosphere and, more often than not, attracts a decent crowd – he just seems like he’s enjoying himself on stage, something that you could come to expect from a 19 year old performer.

Nostalgic 64 has some certified tunes on it, and Denzel Curry always ensures that his set lists are packed out; be sure to check out ‘Threatz’ ft. Yung Simmie & Rob Bank$, and ‘Zone 3’, two songs in particular that get the crowd buzzing.

He is one of the most exciting live acts at the moment, and his flow is always on point - considering his age you can be sure that Denzel Curry will be on the scene for a while. Look out for this teenager, because I, for one, can’t wait to see what he does next.

Unlike many pop idol products, Matt Corby’s attempts to break out of his Australian Idol mould have proven relatively successively. Just one month after coming across Corby’s single Brother, I had the chance to see him live at London’s Hackney Chapel, an intimate venue where he could demonstrate his vocal prowess, corrupting even the holiest of saints.
He’s just as comfortable stripped down with a guitar or piano, as he is belting out hits like Brother and Resolution, highlighting his unique vocal range and power behind his performances. His small collection of EPs prove enough for an engaging set that’s as passionately sung as it is personally relevant to songwriter Corby. He changes up the vocalization when singing live, but his throaty choruses and high octaves undeniably keep to Corby’s style.
One thing he hasn’t left behind from his reality show days are a legion of devoted female fans infiltrating virtually every show, especially eager in his native Australia, undoubtedly a consequence of his broody persona and charming good looks.
Luckily, his devotion to his music and his passionate commitment to his performances are enough for me to forgive his Australian Idol roots. His last tour was the Resolution Tour late 2013, and he’s got nothing currently planned, but you can bet he’ll pack up the tour bus and hit the road once he’s finished working on his new album in his native Australia.

Great stuff high energy punk rock frenzy no nonsense mindless boogie three lads from the outback cooking up a storm in central London they can return home in triumph oh yes
