Pink Siifu's
Gumbo'!
was high
on my list
of favorite albums
of 2021 and now
the deluxe edition
puts it at the top
of my favorite 2022
releases. Complete
with features from
Zelooperz,
Ben Hixon,
Lord Byron,
Valee,
Kenny Beats,
and plenty others.
The 28 song album
is one hell
of a deluxe edition,
one that will
either melt
your speakers
or have them
releasing smoke.
And the claymation
lyric video
for "Griptape'!!"
