Pink Siifu - NEGRO DELUXE - (3xLP - Red w/ Black Splatter Vinyl - Fat Beats Exclusive) - RSD 2023 - Black Friday
On his album NEGRO DELUXE Siifu trades in soulful rap for punk, fueled by the Black experience in America followed by spiritual jazz and poetry. A beautiful chaotic collage of sounds that reflect the black manās thoughts on the day-to-day. It doesnāt take long to reach the heart of NEGRO, Pink Siifuās new album. Itās an aggressive collection of hardcore punk and free jazz, with bold lyrics that encourage shooting back at trigger-happy law enforcement. This album profoundly communicated the anger of an African-American community beset by police violence a month before the murder of George Floyd lit the streets on fire. In April 2021, he revisited the project with NEGRO DELUXE, which doubled the length of the original.
Pink Siifu tells Bomb Magazine āafter we were done mastering and mixing, Zeroh was like, āYo,Ā NEGROĀ is like fire, andĀ NEGRO DELUXEĀ is like smokeā¦.So I would characterizeĀ NEGRO DELUXEĀ as, like, after youāre angry, after youāve punched a wall, after you beat somebody up, whatever, how do I channel that into something else? How do I just let it go? I feel likeĀ NEGRO DELUXEĀ is that, for real, in a nutshell. Itās like the chaos calmed down after all the fireās gone and the smoke is in the air.ā
It isnāt anything like ensley, Siifuās breakthrough 2018 LP. Where that record used mid-tempo soul and hip-hop to score his upbringing, NEGRO is a riotous mix calling for Black revolution. Itās also the most fearless project in his growing discography. NEGRO harkens back to 1992, to Ice-Tās thrash metal band Body Count,Ā Ā song āCop Killerā.Ā
This album is meant to remind us of Rodney King, Racist Cops, The Black Panther Party, and Christopher Dorner, the ex-L.A. police officer who, in 2013, went on a violent shooting spree against his former colleagues and their family members due to seeing his own policeman violate the people there supposed to be protecting. āItās about America, Itās about the trauma that comes from the flag. Itās about understanding that itās okay to be angry.āĀ
In the album, originally titled āTo Be Angryā, Siifu started crafting NEGRO after listening to old Afrocentric jazz and watching clips of novelist and poet Amiri Baraka and civil rights activist Stokely Carmichael, reading Sun Raās sci-fi poetry book, The Planet Is Doomed, and started studying Bad Brains, June Tyson, Death, Ras G, and many others.
