Is this better than the original?

Denzel Curry has quietly had another standout year. Earlier, he released King of the Mischievous South, Vol. 2, an album that didn’t quite get the full recognition it deserved despite its quality. Now, he’s gearing up for its deluxe version, set to drop in a couple of weeks. To build excitement for this upcoming release, Denzel has just dropped a new single titled “Still In The Paint.”

The first thing that stands out in “Still In The Paint” is its production, featuring a bold beat that flips Waka Flocka Flame’s iconic “Hard in Da Paint.” Over this, Denzel Curry brings an intense verse, switching between slow and fast flows and dropping hard-hitting lines about his readiness for any challenge. As for his energizing chorus, it sets the track’s tone. Meanwhile, LAZER DIM 700 delivers a chill, nonchalant verse, while Bktherula brings high energy, both letting us know what they represent and why they don’t have respect for certain folks. All in all, everyone put up verses better than Waka Flocka’s on “Hard in Da Paint.”

This song makes me want to elbow a whole bunch of random people.
