Finding His Lane: Minneapolis rapper Barry Denzel knows he is on the way to winning with ‘Lottery’

Posted on 13 July 2021

Produced by the skilled L.A. Justice and released through his loyal label Dynasty Records, Barry Denzel strikes it lucky on the catchy new single all about going for it when you know you are ready with ‘Lottery‘.

Barry Denzel is a Minneapolis-based hip-hop artist with so many high ambitions, he is going to need a massive mansion to fit them all in. He raps with a edgy street-born attitude that has shown him the sewers below, that almost had him suffocated before he dragged himself out.

”Growing up in Minneapolis, Barry Denzel was always connected to music. With Michael Jackson, Chris Brown, Nelly, and Usher being some of his inspirations, he made the decision to develop his skills as a songwriter, learn how to write complex lyrics, and be able to tell his own truths and stories through his music.” ~ Barry Denzel

He vows never to go back to what was in his life before, as he is only interested in success now and having the true crew with him. The world can change so many souls that you thought were real, and its up to you to see it in their eyes.

This is a supremely skilled lyricist with a vigorous flow that strikes your compelled imagination – his stories are so detailed and rather vivid – each sentence has you rather enthralled as his growing self-awareness to the level he wants to reach, is such a joy to watch.

‘Lottery‘ from the passionate Minneapolis-based Barry Denzel, is his move to the top of the pack. He looks and sound really hungry, as his mindset has taken him further than many thought possible. It feels like the door has just opened for him to walk in, and if he wants it enough, he will see his fortunes change forever in this fickle world.

If you have that one opportunity to succeed, will you take it or not?

Check out Origin’s dope freestyle ‘Apple Of My Eye’

Posted on 11 August 2017

One of the great aspects of hip-hop and rap is its ability to mix a street vibe with informed and intelligent lyrics, to play the fool but do so with a knowing wink, subvert the listeners expectations and mix the rough with the smooth. This is exactly why Origin’ works so well. It is a balance of groove driven lyricism and skittering beats, it mixes classicism with modernity, deep thought with throw away comments.

Musically it also confounds in the best of ways, tight clinical beats hold everything together but on it is hung smooth distant jazz saxophones and plaintive piano lines. This is the sound of up town sophistication drifting into the workspace of the struggling bedroom artist, of the self-educated street kid with no money but a ton of ambition. It paints a very real picture of the strange collisions and juxtapositions of the modern city and how music itself is often built of such fascinating interactions.
