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 said it will be a light part, a gray part and a complete dark part.
Honestly I can’t wait for this fire album to drop, been bumpin' the snippets everyday. Once I hear the studio version it will prolly burn my house down but it’s okay.
TA13OO is Denzel’s critically acclaimed third studio album, released on July 27, 2018. Upon release, the album debuted at #28 on Billboard 200, making it his first entry on the chart.
The album is also split into 3 acts:
- Light: The Beginning (released on July 25th, 2018)
- Gray: The Middle (released on July 26th, 2018)

TA13OO is Denzel’s critically acclaimed third studio album, released on July 27, 2018. Upon release, the album debuted at #28 on Billboard 200, making it his first entry on the chart.
The album is also split into 3 acts:
- Light: The Beginning (released on July 25th, 2018)
- Gray: The Middle (released on July 26th, 2018)
- Dark: The End (released on July 27th, 2018, completing the album)
Each previously-released single represents one of the album’s acts, as “ SUMO | ZUMO ” represents Light, “ CLOUT COBAIN | CLOUT CO13A1N ” represents Gray, and “ PERCS | PERCZ ” represents Dark, which come together cohesively to form TA13OO .
Across the three sections of TA13OO , Denzel explores “taboo” 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.
In an interview with MTV , he highlighted how his EP 13 serves as a “bridge” between Imperial and Taboo and that:
You won’t hear the same shit from Imperial , on Taboo
He also mentions that each album he has released relates to a certain part of his personality or part of his life. In order of his mixtapes and albums, the themes are:
King Remembered: Underground Tape 1991–1995 – Aquarius'killa
King Of The Mischievous South: Underground Tape 1996 – Raven Miyagi
Strictly For My R.V.I.D.X.R.Z. (1993) – Just Denzel
Nostalgic 64 – Denny Cascade
32 Zel/Planet Shrooms – ULTIMATE Denzel
Imperial – Also ULTIMATE Denzel
13 – Zeltron 6 Billion
TA13OO – BLACK METAL TERRORIST | 13 M T
“There’s a lot of things and a lot of topics that we don’t talk about like, just as a people or with yourself or with your family. There’s certain things that are taboo and certain things that you don’t like to talk about and I go through the whole thing of really examining who I was from my childhood and from this newfound fame and even losing it to a certain degree, like, me falling off to really reflect on myself. Just expressing myself about how I feel about the whole game and how my life is going, and if I keep going down the path that I was going, and if I keep going down the path that I was going I would end up being the person that’s not giving a fuck or conform to what’s happening.”
It’s an homage to the early Raider Klan mixtapes that were released with alternative spelling called Rvidxr Hieroglyphics.
This is reinforced by the fact that Denzel liked a Tweet mentioning this fact:

Welcome to the darker side of taboo
All I've got is permanent scars and tattoos
Take another step in your path that you choose
Make a bad choice in your path then you lose
Welcome to the darker side of taboo
All I've got is permanent scars and tattoos
Take another step in your path that you choose
Make a bad choice in your path then you lose

Ooh, (oh), (oh), (oh), (oh), (oh)
Ooh, oh, oh
Ooh, (oh), (ooh)
Ooh, ooh, oh (aah)

Gorgeous beautiful taboo, always with a lot on her mind
You giving me all of your stories in the littlest amount of time
You loving me is forbidden, loving you back is a crime
I wrote this poem for you, forever remain in my rhymes
I knew you wasn't normal ever since the age of nine
I heard you were molested when you hit the age of five
So, in a sense I sensed that all your innocence had died
You swallowing all of your pride, won't let anybody inside
As you cry me a thousand lakes on my shoulder blade, I say
Everything's gonna be okay
I'ma hold tight till I see the next day with you
Stay with you, play with you
Pray with you and pray to you
Curry kill the pussy hoping that I can kill the hate in you
Even if you don't wait for me, forever I will wait for you
Even if it's too late for me, forever I will wait for you
Watching your destiny fold in the grip of my palms
Paper planes being thrown on the side of the lawn, it said

Welcome to the darker side of taboo
All I've got is permanent scars and tattoos
Take another step in your path that you choose
Make a bad choice in your path then you lose
Welcome to the darker side of taboo
All I've got is permanent scars and tattoos
Take another step in your path that you choose
Make a bad choice in your path then you lose

Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
