REVIEW: On his new album ‘Gumbo,’ Atlanta rapper PDE_YOUNGNUDY proves that the term ‘formulaic’ can be a good thing, as he vaults up hip-hop’s “best ear for beats” board.
’s producers have crafted a project that’s immersive, but never overpowering, leaving room for Nudy’s distinctive, rubbery voice to be the centerpiece of the project. The trap music scene is crammed with artists nudging each other for the spotlight.

, keeping his cool throughout. Even when he simulates gunshot bucks at the end of “Peaches & Eggplant,” with 21 Savage, it sounds like he’s being just forceful enough to be felt, but not so much so that he wrinkles his shirt. He could have used the album to show a bit more of who Nudy from Eastside Atlanta is, as he does during revelatory moments on “Fish & Chips” and “Portabella.
