Today, Pink Siifu releases his fourth solo album, BLACK’!ANTIQUE via Dynamite Hill, in partnership with Roc Nation Distribution. His new solo album bookends a prolific run of collaborative projects for Siifu since his last solo album (2022’s GUMBO’!) including Real Bad Flights (with Real Bad Man), Leather Blvd. (with Ahwlee as B. Cool-Aid) and It’s Too Quiet..’!! (with Turich Benjy).

BLACK’!ANTIQUE includes both previously-released singles “SCREW4LIFE’! RIPJALEN’!” and “WHOUWITHHO+” featuring Kal Banx, and documents the latest amorphous iteration of Siifu’s relentlessly evolving sound. Alongside the album, Siifu is also releasing a new video for “LAST ONE ALIVE’!”, which he first teased last week as the second half of his two-part On The Radar Freestyle.

 

 

Widely regarded as one of the central figures and catalysts for the flourishing creative community of peers that surrounds him, Siifu’s new album enlists a cadre of talented artists and producers agnostic of generations and genres. BLACK’!ANTIQUE enlists guest features from 454, BbyMutha, HiTech, Ho99o9, Liv.e, B L A C K I E, Big Rube, Monte Booker, V.C.R., WiFiGawd, Big Rube & many more. The album also features production from iiye, Kal Bankx, Butcher Brown’s DJ Harrison & Morgan Burrs, Nick Hakim, Fatboi Sharif, HiTech & many more.

“This album was made with the intent to sharpen and truly show that an artist should be one of one,” Siifu says of his intention behind creating BLACK’!ANTIQUE. “This album is the shit eye say to myself in the mirror. We get each album/project to tell a different side of ourselves, bring you into a world, speak on our existence and express ourselves in depth. Everything present and in front of you isn’t here to stay, but the memory and the stories will forever be something. That’s an Antique’! Something or Someone Who is Here to Stay’! A Source of Inspiration, Power and Something Timeless’!”

 

 

Pink Siifu, who was raised between Birmingham and Cincinnati, has proven himself as a singular voice in contemporary music, with projects that defy traditional formats and serve as emblems of his restlessly experimental drive as an artist. As a solo artist, Siifu received universal acclaim for his 2018 breakout solo album ensley, and obliterated all expectations on his genre-defying album NEGRO, released in 2020, which the New York Times called “the most fearless album in his vast catalog of equally experimental music.” His previous solo album, 2022’s GUMBO’! set the stage for this next phase of his career presenting a musical mosaic of all of the influences of his peers across genres and generations, from spoken word by Dungeon Family’s Big Rube to ghettotech from Detroit trio HiTech.
