Pink Siifu announces his fourth album, BLACK’ANTIQUE and shares “WHOUWITHHO+” featuring Kal Banx. Siifu raps in his usual snappy but almost whispery flow over Banx’ rotating trap drums. “WHOUWITHHO+” is the second single to emerge from the next album following “SCREW4LIFE!RIPJALEN’!.” Siifu embraces his singular style even harder on BLACK’ANTIQUE and explained that approach in a press release: “This album was made with the intent to sharpen and truly show that an artist should be one of one. 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’!”

Siifu’s third solo album, GUMBO! came out in 2022, and since then he has had collaborative albums including Real Bad Flights with producer Real Bad Man, Leather Blvd. with Ahwlee, and It’s Too Quiet..’! with Turich Benjy. BLACK ‘ANTIQUE will be released on January 27th.
