In a year already teeming with genre-pushing releases, Funkshuay crashes into the conversation with JENKINS—an 11-track album that doesn’t just speak, it shouts. Released June 27, 2025, and available across all major platforms, JENKINS is both a personal diary and a call to arms—raw, cinematic, experimental, and unapologetically rooted in Black Southern expression.

From the very first track, “Goated,” Funkshuay makes it clear that this is not music for the timid. It’s for the head-nodders, the truth seekers, and the ones who like their basslines bruised and their lyrics built for legacy. JENKINS feels like a basement cipher laced with jazz hall ambience—where “Bluetooth” smolders with digital paranoia and “Magneto” spits fire through a mutant’s lens. “How Come” featuring APH delivers both melody and melancholy, blending soul-bending vocals with a poignant verse that questions both the inner and outer worlds.

Tracks like “Homebound” and “Good Vibrations” show the duality of Funkshuay’s palette—gritty and introspective at times, yet buoyed by an undeniable Southern groove. The album’s sequencing is no accident; it’s a curated ride through trauma, triumph, and transformation. And when he hits “Overkill”? That’s exactly what he delivers—explosive rhymes that crash through walls most artists tiptoe around.

Backed by Create Digital Music, who have championed Funkshuay as a “genre-defying visionary,” the album has already begun making waves in niche corners of the underground. The official press blog at Create Digital calls JENKINS “a defiant soundtrack for the creatively unbothered”—a project that reclaims space for authenticity in an increasingly carbon-copied landscape.

But Funkshuay is more than the music—he’s a movement of one. A boundaryless architect of sound whose energy pulls from the ancestral, the futuristic, and the absurdly real. The album’s cover—surreal, colorful, layered—matches the work inside: sonic splashes of chaos and clarity.

As the indie music scene continues its tectonic shift toward authenticity, JENKINS lands like a flag on the moon—planted with purpose, vibrating with message, and impossible to ignore.
