Denzel's latest album comes more than three years after he released his fifth studio album, Melt My Eyes See Your Future, in March 2022. The project saw Curry diverting from traditional rap into a more melodic sonic landscape.

Ever since then a lot of Denzel Curry's music has been drawing significant inspiration from genres like Jazz, Poetry, and Neo-soul, apart from traditional hip-hop, which is likely what fans might get to see occur on ULTRAGROUND.

Although the feature list mostly includes rappers with a distinct "Mixtape Vibe," with features from Ski Mask and A$AP Ferg, the LP is expected to give fans a taste of Denzel's affinity for hard x rage rap music. We could see elements of the album's production and Curry's vocal performance in a clip he posted to Instagram just before posting the cover for ULTRAGROUND.

In the clip, we see Denzel in the studio vibing out the album alongside a group of his friends, with Curry rapping "I can make money from the comfort of my sofa" over a 90s-inspired Hip/Hop x Trap beat.

The most interesting part about Denzel's upcoming album is the cover art that was used for the project. The cover features legendary mixtapes from rappers and groups like N.W.A., Snoop Dogg, NAS, Pac, and more. Interestingly a topic of discussion amongst fans is the possibility of hearing Denzel Curry and his features over classic rips or samples from some of these 90s mixtapes and LPs.

The following is a list of mixtapes, which had Denzel Curry's feature list tagged over it, on the ULTRAGROUND cover art:

• Eazy E's debut studio album Eazy Duz It, released in 1988.
• 2Pac's debut studio album 2Pacalypse Now and deeply personal third studio album Me Against the World, released in 1991 and 1995 respectively.
