Black Sand is the 2019 collaborative effort between AKAI SOLO & Pink Siifu, two of hip hops most exciting artists working today. Pink Siifu, under the moniker iiye, lays down a gorgeous and dusty soundscape, also lending his voice alongside AKAI SOLO's, as they explore the concept of blackness and the intricacies of living in America and being in touch with one’s self. With help from Maassai, Nelson Bandela, King Carter, and Adam Intrator, AKAI & Siifu craft a beautiful, thought-provoking record that demands attention and acknowledgement.
All variants are pressed on 180g vinyl housed in 24pt, reverse board jackets. The back cover and 11x22" inserts were designed by Cliff Fields exclusively for the vinyl release. The music was finessed for vinyl by Geng PTP.
The reissue is pressed on 180-gram vinyl, housed in 24pt reverse board jackets. The artwork, including the center labels, has been completely reworked, utilizing elements from Cliff Fields' masterful work on the original pressing, laid out and arranged by J. Park. The center labels and obi strip follow the same pattern, with a collaborative touch from Monsieur Boo.
