Critical Praise:
XXL Class of 2018 Freshman
“Purpp has caught the ears of everyone from The Weeknd and D.R.A.M. to Chief Keef and Travis Scott, and the 19-year-old rapper is in position for a rapid ascent” – Pigeons & Planes
“If you’ve not been following along, the rise of young Miami rapper SmokePurrp – alongside that of his longtime pal and collaborator Lil Pump – has been one of the more exciting rides in rap’s underground this year” – Noisey
“Out of all the SoundCloud and Florida rappers that have gained floods of attention and acclaim in recent years, Smokepurpp has stood as one of the movement’s strongest proponents and artists.“ – HYPEBEAST
The Video:
With an irrepressible, manic energy and an ear for lyrical witticisms, Smokepurpp‘s talent speaks for itself. Heading to the home of Stax Records to make some musical history of his own, Purpp mobs in Memphis in “Double,“ his latest video. Produced by Tony Seltzer, “Double” is a minimalist slapper, complete with warped cowbell, underwater synths, and cracking snares–a backdrop on which Purpp paints his sex-crazed bars: “I just want a side b*tch, I don’t want no drama (Drama)/I know that’s yo’ main b*tch, you can meet her mama.” In the video, Purpp takes over the block with Memphis’s teenaged sensation NLE Choppa, who menaces with breakneck bars and sing-songy cadences. Intercut with flashy camera effects and pasted-in cameos from famous figures, the duo gather a crew to storm a local eatery and show off their wild dance moves–even Obama gets down to Smokepurpp.
“Double” is the latest video from Purpp’s Lost Planet 2.0 EP, following the sci-fi influenced vid for the Kenny Beats-produced “Repeat” and the clip for the plaintive “Remember Me.” Featuring additional appearances from Gunna and Lil Pump, Lost Planet 2.0 streams everywhere via Alamo Records/Interscope.
One of the most popular rappers in South Florida’s cresting wave, Smokepurpp made his name on SoundCloud, building up a loyal following and earning millions of plays on each track. Signed to Alamo/Interscope, in a partnership with Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack Records, Smokepurpp drew mainstream recognition with the release of “Audi,” which earned hundreds of millions of streams on all platforms, including 124 million on Spotify, and earned a Gold certification from the RIAA. His debut mixtape Deadstar, which peaked at #42 on the Billboard 200 in 2017. In 2018, Smokepurpp made another splash with Bless Yo Trap, a full-length collaboration with Grammy-nominated producer Murda Beatz, and earned a spot on XXL’s 2018 Freshman List. Smokepurpp recently performed at Coachella as a member of Gucci Gang along with fellow Floridian Lil Pump and Trap God Gucci Mane, Gucci Gang dazzled festival attendees during a prime slot, performing highlights from the three rappers’ careers.

The Background:
The Chicago-born, Miami-raised rapper and producer Smokepurpp has been one of the cornerstones of Florida’s burgeoning rap scene since the release of his “Ski Mask” video in 2015. The buzz from the video and other singles with close friend Lil Pump culminated in a record deal with Alamo/Interscope Recordsand Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack Records. The 21-year old Purpp quickly went to work, collaborating with Scott, Yo Gotti, Pump, and more. His debut release, Deadstar, spawned the gold-certified single “Audi” and generated features from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Pigeons & Planes, XXL, Mass Appeal, and many more. The follow up release, Bless Yo Trap, was a collaboration with Grammy-nominated producer Murda Beatz, boasted the standout single “123” and collaborations with Lil Yachty, Offset, and A$AP Ferg. 2018 has been a banner year for Purpp so far, thanks to his selection on the 2018 XXL Freshman list, the release of “Nephew,” his Gold-certified collaboration with Lil Pump, which has over 100M streams across all platforms, and “I Love It,” the Kanye West and Pump collaboration which Purpp co-wrote and debuted at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. After delighting his fans with the Lost Planet EP in April, Purpp set to close the year out with the highly-anticipated Deadstar 2.
