Atlanta rapper Young Nudy took to Instagram yesterday (February 23rd) to announce the release date of his upcoming album, Gumbo. The 13-track album will be dropping on February 28th and features his cousin, 21 Savage, as well as Key Glock. The 30-year-old artist also revealed the cover art and tracklist for Gumbo in his post, captioned, "[G]UMBO February #28 #NUN #TO #DO."
As insinuated by the shrimp and mushroom emoji in the post's caption, Gumbo's tracklist is fully inspired by different foods. With songs named "Duck Meat," "McChicken," and "Portabella," Nudy has channeled his appetite for success into his newest project. After releasing "Loaded Baked Potato" and "Barbecue" in his album Nudy Land, the rapper has earned a reputation for naming his tracks after snacks. However, Gumbo is his first project fully dedicated to food names. The post also revealed the album's cover art, which stylistically features a red dinner table outfitted with plates of the song titles, a gun, and a stack of bills. In the center of the table setting is a statue of a snake, hungrily gazing over a bowl of gumbo.
Young Nudy's Food-Inspired Album Drops February 28th
Nudy released his vibey mixtape EA Monster last year, which also featured a few tracks boasting a food-inspired name. "KitKat" and "Lunch Meat" fall alongside tracks like "Impala" and "Nun To Do." The resulting project is the 11-song collection that earned Nudy a loyal following. Right now, Nudy is set to embark on an 8-week tour presented by Rolling Loud, which will include a set at the California festival.
After the announcement of Gumbo, fans excitedly took to Twitter to share their enthusiasm. Many were quick to note the humorous song titles, with one user writing, "every song is titled after food, we’re getting a classic." Others simply displayed their excitement for the artist's commitment to new music, with appreciation over the album cover. "Still never missed on an album cover," one user mentioned, while another added, "nudy always has a dope cover." Be sure to check out more Twitter reactions at the end of this article.
