Young Nudy Shares "Gumbo" Ft. 21 Savage & Key Glock

Young Nudy is quite possibly the most consistent rapper out of Atlanta with a prolific output to show for it. Though he was never poised to become a breakout star with pop sensibilities, his gritty, oddball sound has turned him into a pivotal figure in the Southern rap scene. One that is frequently championed among rap circles on the streets and online. So, with it being a new year, fans undoubtedly looked forward to what he had in store for 2023.

Each one of Nudy’s projects feels better than the last. In 2021, he blessed fans with back-to-back releases of Dr. EV4L and Rich Shooter – two projects that further cemented his name in hip-hop. Then, he came through last year with his project EA Monster, which dropped to critical acclaim. Needless to say, he’s had fans anticipating his next move throughout the last seven months, especially since he’s not one to necessarily release too many singles ahead of his next project.

Shortly after a hacker breached Nudy’s vault and leaked over 100 songs, the rapper returned with his latest body of work, Gumbo. The 13-song project finds Nudy back into this spacey, warped soundscape that sounds even more refined than his previous projects. The majority of the project was produced by Coupe, though there are contributions from Pi’erre Bourne, 44 and Hazel. Additionally, 21 Savage and Key Glock join Nudy on the tracklist as the only two features on Gumbo.

Each song off of Gumbo is named after food (i.e. “Pot Roast” ft. Key Glock and “Fish & Chips.” The body of work further showcases Nudy’s off-kilter flow and unconventional approach that paints a broader picture of Atlanta. The “EA” rapper continues to showcase his range without necessarily leaving his pocket, even when he treads towards a more melodic delivery. Check out Nudy’s latest project and tracklist.
