Fu went overboard with these features sheesh

There's like nine posse cuts lmao

Sry nah, I'd assume it's just the EP tho unless otherwise stated?

Tracks 1, 4, 6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 18 are Ensley 2

BACK'! is a banger

the Liv.e joint is wild fire

Yeah 100% didn’t really mean to imply that

He gets in that bag here, and I agree w you that those moments are his best

Getting some Kendrick / TPAB vibes at parts

Wow, Scurrrd... Lush af

His artistic progression insane I can’t wait til this drops on Spotify

real niggas dont freeze up

Turich benjy feats are amazing btw

Like water for chocolate vibes too

Def feeling strong Outkast vibes on this

Yea sort of the usual deal with Siifu at this point, very scattershot/ all over the place and wildly jumping from style to style with every track. That aspect of his solo albums always takes time for me to digest, at first always seems a bit too much.

That said every album also has a a sort of cohesive aesthetic/ sound/ mix of sounds

this keeps a similar edge to the last project, but a lot more accessible imo. monte booker and lance on the same track

Tall tales,
They professional, more cointail
Real but what's fiction?

it’s out on streaming now

Looking forward to the Caltrop’s Press Gumbo review. Their last one on Negro was incredible: caltropspress.tumblr.com/post/630807847123435520/notes-on-pink-siifus-negro

I was at the album release party last night. Seeing the album live was lit. Hits different with a crowd. Back went especially hard.

sounds great

Gumbo’! is Siifu’s best work yet IMO. Not too many artists can pull off the messy, almost directionless vibe that he does here and make it invigorating to the point where it actually helps the music. Really does feel like he culminated all his past works into one & evolved them into something greater, as well as delving into some new territory for himself. Also feels like the first project of his where he really embraces his southern roots.

Even if you don’t f*** with him you gotta at least respect the man’s ambitiousness.

I think Negro Deluxe does that without the plethora of features

this navy blue.
can't stop.

I'll be honest this gives off a pretentious / hyperserious vibe imo, But it's good s*** and prolly the most interesting review I've read of the album
