Denzel Curry has offered the first taste of his forthcoming Melt My Eyez See Your Future album with a brand new single and music video, “Walkin”. The Florida-bred hip-hop artist also detailed a 2022 world tour on Monday, which will take him across North America and Europe from April through July.
The tour will kick off at Denver, CO’s Mission Ballroom on April 1st before heading through Utah, Washington, British Columbia, Oregon, and California—including a spot for both weekends of Coachella Music & Arts Festival in Indio, CA (4/17, 4/24). From there, Curry will head out to Europe in May before returning back stateside for Bonnaroo Music Festival on June 17th.
Tickets for all newly-announced dates will go on sale this Friday, January 28th, at 10 a.m. local. Head here for purchase options and scroll down for a detailed list of tour dates.
His new music video, “Walkin”, arrives as a Space Western featuring Curry, who traverses the vast deserts of a Tatooine-like planet. Directed by Adrian Villagomez, the video follows the rapper as he wanders through a decrepit—yet bustling—town behind the concealment of some aviator sunglasses while donning his finest woolen poncho. A lengthy first verse serves solely as the title sequence before the camera cuts to a wide-open desert.
Curry continues dropping line after line over the hypnotic Kal Banx beat, rapping, “Clear a path as I keep on walkin’, ain’t no stoppin’/In this dirty, filthy, rotten/Nasty little world we call a home.” Eventually, he passes through a burning town square and finds John Wayne (Erick Lopez) waiting for him amid the desolate wasteland. The two square off in a duel, which sees Denzel emerge victorious thanks to his futuristic laser pistol.
