Junglepussy Jp4 Vinyl

With a name as bold as Junglepussy and an artistry to match, Shayna McHayle is New York’s premier rap rule-breaker. Honest, funny, and freaky, her rhymes span from the explicitly audacious to the tenderly relatable. Her unfailingly confident flow accentuates her roots in Brooklyn (her parents are from Trinidad and Jamaica), and her bars land with cool impact. In the universe that is Junglepussy, relationships are complicated, vegetables are magic, and an excellently delivered flex on an ex is one punchline away.

Due physically on March 5, 2021, Jp4 is Junglepussy’s stellar next phase. With contributions from vocalist Ian Isiah, rapper Gangsta Boo, and producers Dave Sitek and Nick Hook, Jp4 is Junglepussy ascended. After almost a decade of experimenting, Junglepussy feels she’s finally living up to her name. “From the genesis of Junglepussy, I struggled with my sound, because what I was doing at the time, I knew it wasn't really, really, really what I wanted to do,” she says. “But I just didn't know how to get there. Jp4 really sounds like and feels like I got there.” On album opener “Bad News”, she sings from a welcome new place, introducing a soulful, haunting voice that mirrors the song’s title. The noisy, interstellar melodies that guide “Telepathy” and “What You Want” are the album’s trippy, experimental gifts
