Background

On October 5, 2020, during ICP's House Party Peep Show live stream, Violent J, Shaggy 2 Dope, and Jumpsteady held a seminar revealing the name of the upcoming album. They also played the preview of the first single of the album "Ding Ding Doll". [1] [2] The album was followed up by three extended play albums that are six-to-seven songs each. [3]

It was also announced after all three EPs had been released and that the band would release a full album of the EPs combined, called The Seeds of Yum Yum. The first EP Yum Yum's Lure was released on Juggalo Day, February 17, 2021. Plans changed, and "Ding Ding Doll" did not end up on the album, instead appearing only on the aforementioned EP Yum Yum's Lure. The full-length album Yum Yum Bedlam was instead released with all-new material on October 31, 2021. [4] The album's booklet mentioned three additional EPs that would be released in 2022 (Wicked Vic the Weed, Pug Ugly the Stink Bud, and Woh the Weeping Weirdo). [5]

Reception

"Yum Yum Bedlam is ICP's new set, the latest in its series of Joker's Card releases, and the first to be centered on a female character. The album's themes revolve around temptation, seduction, faith, betrayal and living without regret, and Bruce says it's a very personal album that was at least partially inspired by his relationship with his ex-girlfriend.", wrote The Detroit News. [6]
