PINK SIIFU レコード& CD

Review: Gumbo'! is the latest album by the American rapper and singer Pink Siifu, notably on his own label. A hybrid-homage to the Southern hip-hop and neo-soul that shaped his style, it's an abstract mix, also adding a strangled, nasal delivery and a complementary whirl of trap, cloud and noise rap, recalling every influence from a ghostly nega-Playboi Carti to a whispery, hissing Dungeon Family. After hearing this album, it can verifiably be said that Siifu is a shapeshifter, doing thorough justice to his pre-rap dance career and his ever-present desire to be taken as his own, uncategorisable beast.
