Pink Siifu - BLACK’!ANTIQUE; ONYX’!
Pink Siifu releases BLACK’!ANTIQUE; ONYX’!, the deluxe version to his fourth solo album BLACK’!ANTIQUE, which CLASH labelled “a curio of mind-melting hip-hop that becomes more corporeal, revealing its magic with every listen.” The album was released in January via Dynamite Hill, in partnership with Roc Nation Distribution. BLACK’!ANTIQUE; ONYX’! is its formidable extension. This 13-track odyssey is the latest innovation of Pink Siifu’s flourishing catalogue, further underlining his status as one of rap’s most prolific artists.
“This deluxe is an extension of all the things which represented BLACK’!ANTIQUE. If the original was chaotic this is more of the fun based in that chaos, the energy of the first half dialed in more, with a melancholy and dark atmosphere. EYE HATE to leave anything in the dust so this is also a polish of some of the music that first started the idea of Black’!Antique. It 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; ONYX’!. “The theme in this project is the shit eye say to myself in the mirror. The shit eye Say to my family. 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. Energy never dies, it’s stored and spread’! That’s an Antique’! Something or Someone Who is Here to Stay’! A Source of Inspiration, Power and Something Timeless.’”
