My is so goat is back... sort of. Although not a purebred Denzel Curry release, putting his name on the album and every track despite no full appearance on each track is a bit of a letdown. KOTMSV2 was by far from my least favorite of Denzel's and this album definitely returns to a level of quality that I expect from him. I would still heavily like to here a Denzel heavy album, which apparently we will be getting later in 2026.
As for what's here in March, it's pretty great. Short and sweet, The Scythe shows out in grade A form. Legends like Juicy J and A$AP Ferg are on here as well as a few up and comers like BKTHERULA and TiaCorine. TiaCorine is the real standout newbie on here. Her verses are the definition of swag, just like she says on "THE SCYTHE". My favorite track is "MUTT THAT BIH". The production is bouncy and energetic and Denzel's verse is fun but, and this is probably a hot take, 1900Rugrat's verse is oddly addicting to me. Typically whiney rappers like him have no part in my listening habits but something about that verse is just fun.
The production here though is done to perfection, nearly front to back. There is unique touches around every corner that still fit a typical gritty hip-hop style but are still unique in ever sense of the manner. The only track that loses me a bit on the production side of things is "HOOPTY" with has a pitched up vocal as part of the beat that doesn't do it any favors. Sadly it features TiaCorine and Smino which should have been a great song on here. Otherwise, the last half of this features some of the best production I've here in a hip-hop album in years. A true chef's kiss.
