Taboo (stylized as TA13OO) is Denzel’s critically acclaimed third studio album, released on July 27, 2018. Upon release, the album debuted at #28 on Billboard 200, making it his first entry on the chart.
The album is also split into 3 acts:
- Light: The Beginning (released on July 25th, 2018)
- Gray: The Middle (released on July 26th, 2018)
- Dark: The End (released on July 27th, 2018, completing the album)
Each previously-released single represents one of the album’s acts, as “SUMO | ZUMO” represents Light, “CLOUT COBAIN | CLOUT CO13A1N” represents Gray, and “PERCS | PERCZ” represents Dark, which come together cohesively to form TA13OO.
Across the three sections of TA13OO, Denzel explores “taboo” topics including molestation, the presidential election, fame, hatred, paranoia, revenge, love, the current state of music and personal tales of his own near-death experiences.
In an interview with MTV, he highlighted how his EP 13 serves as a “bridge” between Imperial and Taboo and that:
"You won’t hear the same shit from Imperial, on Taboo"
He also mentions that each album he has released relates to a certain part of his personality or part of his life. In order of his mixtapes and albums, the themes are:
King Remembered: Underground Tape 1991–1995 – Aquarius'killa
