After officially announcing The Scythe and its core members Bktherula, TiaCorine, Ferg, and Key Nyata alongside Denzel Curry, the group returns with a new single and video, “The Scythe,” from their forthcoming full-length project Strictly 4 The Scythe, out March 6th via Loma Vista Recordings.
The new posse cut and title track finds the collective locking into an infectious chant over scratched production and razor-sharp verses from TiaCorine and Ferg. It closely follows last month’s BNYX-produced “Lit Effect,” featuring Bktherula and LAZER DIM 700.
Speaking on the song’s inception, Ferg shares:
“I was on one when we created this song, it was the night of my first art show… Taking the energy from the success of my show back to the booth where there was more energy with The Scythe created not only a monster of an anthem, but a moment in history!”
On the group’s creative approach and her individual contributions, TiaCorine explains:
“Denzel really showed me the power of production and trust.. My verse was for a wholeeee different beat and Denzel is like you gotta start doing bigger sounds, trust me. So that’s what I did and that’s how we got ‘The Scythe.’”
The Scythe draws on the collective spirit of Denzel Curry’s foundational days while continuing his futuristic interpretations of old-school regional rap, pulling influence from Memphis, Houston, and Miami. Fusing Curry’s distinctive delivery with gritty Southern textures and the creative force of each member, the project bridges hip-hop’s core across eras — honoring the South’s legacy while ushering in a rising new guard.
Speaking on the group dynamic, Curry says:
“The Scythe is a family and a group. We still have our respective solo careers, but when we come together, it’s The Scythe.”
Strictly 4 The Scythe marks the first full project from Curry since 2024’s album version of King Of The Mischievous South, the official mixtape and foundational sound that launched his career, revisited with a reconfigured tracklist and five new songs. Highlights include “STILL IN THE PAINT” featuring Bktherula and LAZER DIM 700, “HOT ONE” featuring Ferg and TiaCorine, “ULTRA SHXT” featuring Key Nyata, and standout solo cut “GOT ME GEEKED.”
Beyond launching the new rap supergroup The Scythe, Denzel Curry is off to a momentous year — appearing as a special guest at Fred Again’s NYC shows, supporting Deftones on their current EU/UK tour, featuring on Knocked Loose’s single “Hive Mind,” and appearing on Maxo Kream’s newest track “Fake Jeezy” alongside JPEGMAFIA.
