At only 29 years old, Kenny Beats has been able to work the best of the best. From ScHoolboy Q and Vince Staples to Ed Sheeran, the Connecticut native has been able to work with a variety of artists. Simply put, if he decides to devote time to it, it’s probably worth listening to.
“If I am working on your music, it’s coming from a pure place. I don’t need to use anyone’s music as a stepping stone for me to get somewhere as Kenny. I only work with people I am obsessed with, because if I am in the studio with you, I can sing your songs with you,” he told NME.
Considering this statement, he must have a ton of respect for the incredibly talented Denzel Curry. In February 2020, the two linked up for a concept project called Unlocked. One year later, the two have reunited to release Unlocked 1.5.
This time around, Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats have recruited a crew of guests to reimagine their 2020 release. Smino, Joey Bada$$, Kenny Mason, Benny The Butcher and Arlo Parks have hopped on the new release. Jay Versace, Charlie Heat, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Alchemist and Sango also offer production.
