Denzel Curry & The Scythe – Strictly For The Scythe [Vinyl LP]

Description

Denzel Curry has always operated at the intersection of hip-hop’s regional histories and its forward edge, and Strictly 4 the Scythe, released March 6, 2026 on Loma Vista Recordings, doubles down on that instinct by building an entirely new collective around it. The Scythe is a five-member rap crew headed by Curry and including A$AP Ferg, TiaCorine, Bktherula, and Key Nyata, drawing its spirit from Curry’s early days with Raider Klan while extending his ongoing exploration of Memphis, Houston, and Miami rap traditions. At eight tracks and 29 minutes, the album wastes no time making its case.

The tracklist moves fast and hits hard, each track built around a specific regional aesthetic and stacked with features that reinforce it. “THE SCYTHE,” featuring TiaCorine and A$AP Ferg, opens the record with booming group choruses and a raw collective energy that sets the tone immediately. “PHONY,” featuring Juicy J, Key Nyata, and A$AP Ferg, leans deepest into Memphis territory, its beat carrying the slow, malevolent lurch of Three 6 Mafia’s golden era. “HOOPTY,” with TiaCorine and Smino, pivots to Miami’s club-rooted energy, while “TAN,” featuring Bktherula and TiaCorine, captures the slow glide of Houston rap with precision. “YOU AINT GOTTA LIE,” featuring 454 and Luh Tyler, and closer “UP,” with Rich the Kid and A$AP Ferg, round out a project that treats Southern rap not as nostalgia but as living vocabulary.

Pressed on tangerine colored vinyl and released as an Indie Exclusive, this edition of Strictly 4 the Scythe is the most visually striking way to own the album on vinyl. At eight tracks and 29 minutes, the shorter runtime works in the record’s favor on vinyl, with fewer grooves allowing for wider groove spacing, louder cutting levels, and deeper, more powerful bass response.
