Denzel Curry And Smino Just Found Out They’re Related

Sometimes, talent just runs in your family. Hip-hop is filled with family groups like Clipse, Pop Smoke’s brother does a spooky good impression of the late rapper, and even Juice WRLD turned out to be related to Young Dolph, which the latter only learned after his Chicago cousin passed. Fortunately, another set of hip-hop cousins didn’t have to wait until losing each other to find out their connection. Despite growing up 1,200 miles away from each other, Florida rapper Denzel Curry and St. Lous MC Smino recently discovered they are cousins through a shared uncle and posted their reactions on Twitter.

“boi why @denzelcurry my cousin in real life,” Smino wondered upon discovering the connection. Curry had the same sentiment, although he was quick to point out the smooth St Louisan gave him a good-natured ribbing long before they learned their relation. “I found out me and @Smino got the same uncle,” Denzel marveled. “And to think this n**** roasted the f*ck out me when we first met.” He elaborated that Smino is “on the Curry side of the family.”

Now that they’re aware, though, fans have already begun pestering them for a collaboration, which they have had yet to do. Perhaps they’ll be able to get together at a future family reunion and this time, Denzel can have a few roasts pre-written for his Midwestern cousin.

Tacer turns skill into artful chaos on intensely crafted on new release “MAYDAY”

Tacer brings purpose-driven precision to “MAYDAY,” a technically fearless release that embodies versatility not as a concept, but as execution. “MAYDAY” shows it with constant movement, and some of the tracks announce ambition.

Shifting flows, layered wordplay, internal rhyme schemes, and a sustained lyrical run make for a piece that feels sharp, surgical, and relentlessly focused.But it’s not just technical command, it’s mood too.

The zombie and horror themes that pervade the writing give the song a distinct identity, tying it directly to the larger Beautiful Horror narrative. That storytelling element elevates impressive lyricism into immersive art. Every switch-up feels justified, “MAYDAY” is the appeal of how Tacer can change styles and still create cohesion and versatility with discipline.

Deena Maddox turns hesitation into heartbeat on new release “Darlin”

Deena Maddox’s latest release, “Darlin,” is a flirty, feel-good country single that captures the thrill of possibility. The song centers on one timeless moment, the spark between two strangers, and the courage it takes to make the first move.

This song is a tribute to the real-life moments that happen in dive bars and dance halls, where the electric tension of locked eyes and unspoken interest is driving. But Darlin’ doesn’t play the fence; he transmutes doubt into playful assurance.

That’s what makes the song feel so real, so relatable. It knows how fast moments fly and tells listeners to trust their gut, follow chemistry, and step into the now. That message sets you free. It is light, warm, and hopeful, but grounded in actual human experience. Love is not always a given, sometimes it starts with a simple ask to dance.
