Ta13oo (stylized TA13OO and pronounced Taboo ) is the third studio album by American rapper Denzel Curry . It was released on July 27, 2018, through PH Recordings and distributed by Loma Vista Recordings . The album serves as the follow-up to Curry's second studio album, Imperial , released in 2016, and the 13 EP, released in 2017. Ta13oo features guest appearances from Twelve'len, GoldLink , Nyyjerya, JID , JPEGMafia , ZillaKami , and additional vocals by Billie Eilish . Production was handled by FnZ , DJ Dahi , Ronny J , Illmind , Charlie Heat , and Mickey de Grand IV, among others.

Ta13oo was supported by five singles: "Sumo", "Percs", " Clout Cobain ", " Vengeance ", and "Black Balloons". The album received widespread acclaim from critics.

In an interview with Zane Lowe , Denzel Curry described the structure of the album: "I was in a dark space when I was working on the dark part. I was tryna work on the light part when I was working toward my happiness." [3]

A statement accompanying the music video to " Clout Cobain " stated: "Across the three sections of Ta13oo , Denzel explores topics including molestation, the presidential election, fame, hatred, paranoia, revenge, love, the current state of music and personal tales of his own near-death experiences. Sonically, the album ranges just as widely as its subject matter, sounds of paranoia, fear of loss, brooding melancholy and mood swings straight from hell all find their way onto Ta13oo ." [4]

The first single, "Sumo", was released on March 30, 2018 for streaming and digital download. [5] The second single, "Percs", was released on May 25, 2018. [6] The third single, "Clout Cobain", was released on July 12, 2018, alongside a music video. [7] "Black Balloons" and "Cash Maniac" were made available for digital download as promotional singles on July 23 and 24, 2018. [8] [9]

The album was released as three acts consecutively between July 25 and 27, 2018, with the album released in its totality on July 27, 2018. [10] [11] [12] Subsequently, " Vengeance " was released as a single on September 5, 2018, while "Black Balloons" was promoted on March 27, 2019. [13] [14]

Ta13oo was met with widespread critical acclaim. At Metacritic , which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 86, based on six reviews. [15]

Marshall Gu of Pretty Much Amazing wrote, "Ultimately, easily one of the most simultaneously hardest and atmospheric hip-hop albums of the year". [21] In his review for HipHopDX , Justin Ivey praised the album, writing, "Curry has constructed a project that plays to the sonic structures of the era without sacrificing meaningful content in doing so. TA13OO is the culmination of his promise and talent, resulting in Curry's magnum opus". [18] Sputnikmusic 's critic Jordan M. said, "Realistically, Ta13oo is extremely satisfying from a consumption standpoint. It's everything I'd want from a rap album this year". [22] Concluding his review for AllMusic , Neil Z. Yeung stated that "With this additional substance and strategic guest contributions, Curry is elevated on TA13OO -- despite this deep dive into despair and darkness -- hinting at more insight on future efforts". [16]

In a positive review, Dean Van Nguyen of Pitchfork wrote that "It's when he sticks to the highly personal that Curry's music is devoid of all cliché—the power of his performance, the veracity of his pen, and the color of his wordplay make him an expert at voicing the tribulations of this doomed condition we call being young. All of this makes him impossible to place in the broader SoundCloud rap domain. Signs point to an artist who will outlast any single distribution platform—or any of the genres named for them". [20] Trey Alston of Highsnobiety gave the album a favorable review, writing, "To call it psychedelic is a cliché, but the album is a multi-part, constantly-moving, collection of harsh emotions with a funky twist that works, even if the final leg slows down the momentum a tad". [17]

Denzel Curry is not who you think he is.
The Miami-raised artist has adopted many guises throughout the last seven years, during which time he’s pushed to the fore of one of hip-hop’s most influential scenes. He helped kickstart ‘Soundcloud rap’ as both Aquarius’Killa and Raven Miyagi, broke out from the shadow of Raider Klan as Denny Cascade, and exploded into the mainstream as ULTIMATE DENZEL. These alter-egos represent distinct eras in Denzel’s life, each underwritten by his ever-evolving musical contention; one hinged on the kind of punk-rap fusion that’s come to define Miami. On TA13OO (pronounced TABOO), his third studio album, Curry is ‘Zeltron 6 Billion,’ a character he describes as “all the personalities put together.”
“Zeltron is forever… Zeltron can do what Denny Cascade does, what Aquarius’Killa does, what Raven Miyagi does, what ULTIMATE Denzel does and what Denzel Curry does,” he tells us. “That’s why you get so many different sides on the album, because that’s what Zeltron is.” He’s not wrong. So far, Zeltron has given Curry his highest-charting album, his boldest visual and an unprecedented amount of critical attention. Even with all this, Curry seems most impressed with SWITCH IT UP being chosen as the intro music for the Miami Heat . “Hell yeah, that’s massive,” he says, celebratory. “I had to make sure the clean version was perfect… people’s clean versions be kinda ass these days,” he laughs.
Initially released over three days, TA13OO is split into thematic thirds: Light , Grey and Dark . On Light - the first of the three instalments - Curry does more than just synthesise the personas of old, pushing himself in an unexpected musical direction featuring OutKast-esque melodies and softly sung hooks. It’s this sound that opens Light , the first instalment, which introduces the album - “welcome to the darker side of taboo,” sings Curry on the album opener - and explores the ideas of pain, stunting and making cash. Grey , the second instalment, is one track longer than the others: “life is usually in the grey area,” explains Curry. It jumps between the braggadocious stylings of SUPER SAIYAN SUPERMAN and the biting commentary of SIRENS and CLOUT COBAIN , perfectly encapsulating the album’s far-reaching contention. The third instalment, Dark , finds Curry linking up with similarly furious collaborators such as JPEGMAFIA and ZillaKami for more familiar rap bangers such as VENGEANCE and BLACK METAL TERRORIST .
“That’s the point of Zeltron,” Curry elaborates. “He can sing, he can rap, he can fight, he can do everything. He can do punk if he wanted, he can do rock if he wanted, he can do whatever the fuck he wants to do.” Whilst the album touches upon the hallmarks of his previous work, one can’t help but feel the missing ingredient is Curry himself; the one constant bridging each of his incarnations. Indeed, the themes explored throughout the record push Denzel to the fore, his earnest beliefs carried by his long-established musical prowess.
Each side of TA13OO tackles an emotional palette, expounding on everything from the highs of spending money to the lows of drug abuse, police brutality and sexual assault. The material throughout is a new step for Curry who, though hardly apolitical, has mostly funnelled his talents into punk-rap bangers. “I decided to do TA13OO right after Imperial …,” he says, before reflecting on what drove him to release such a personal and political record. “I was going through this phase, this little dark period. I just wanted to release everything that was bothering me, try to find balance in my life at the same time.”
He has a lot to be bothered about. On SIRENS / Z1RENZ , a three-way collaboration with Atlanta hip-hop upstart J.I.D and 2018 pop highlight Billie Eilish, Curry refers to Florida’s controversial Stand Your Ground law . The legislation, which permits lethal force and rescinds the duty to retreat , is more than a distant political issue for the Miami native - in February 2012, fellow Carol City Senior High student and Raider Klan fan Trayvon Martin was shot dead by a man who, though he didn’t invoke the defence, reportedly benefited from it. “George Zimmerman can use the Stand Your Ground law and get away with it,” said Curry in an interview with Billboard . “If I use it… and the other person just happens to be white, I’m going to jail.”
Then, there’s the spate of drug-related deaths plaguing hip-hop. Fellow genre-defying artist Lil Peep overdosed last November, a tragedy which some hoped would spark a cultural reconsideration of drug use. It didn’t. “Ain’t shit changed since Lil Peep died,” decries Curry on THE BLACKEST BALLOON / THE 13LACKEZT 13ALLOON , a comment which presaged the overdose death of Mac Miller not two months later.
“Everybody can talk about drugs and bitches,” explains Curry. “That was taboo, now that shit’s normal. Now I’m gonna talk about shit that people don’t talk about, so they can really get the gist of what’s going on. Nobody wants to hear the truth, but you’ve gotta hear it at some point.” It comes out again on Clout Cobain , a single that paints performative elements of modern hip-hop as a cursed carnival of depravity and exploitation. It’s a critique of the social media-enabled cult of ‘clout,’ or influence, that incentivises outlandish stunts, prioritising base-level fame over artistic achievement. “I’m not here to be a party pooper,” he adds. “That’s why I make my tracks fun.”
After seven years in the rap game, Curry’s perfected his own brand of fun, one marked by hard-hitting bass and relentless punk rock delivery. It’s a calling card that’s come to differentiate the emcee in a crowded culture; one honed alongside his most frequent collaborators, Perth-born production duo Finatik-N-Zac.
