Pink Siifu

Pink Siifu is the stage name used by hip-hop artist Livingston Matthews, whose music has a strong experimental side particularly in the way he constructs his songs like a sonic architect. They feel like they were reassembled while he was shuffling genres and styles in the background. His albums tend to have thematic arcs, so whereas he tapped into free jazz, pushed up the chaos and cacophony with hardcore (of the Bad Brainz variety) and punk, plus some avant-garde style screeches and shrieks in his 2020 album NEGRO, he took a turn towards jazz, neo soul, and trap in 2022's GUMBO'!, and kept it pretty loose. The intricacy of his music and his somewhat fractured flow make his work exciting, but they may not be everyone's cup of tea.
