We at Audible Treats stand in solidarity with the protesters across the country who seek justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others. As a company, we are developing a concrete plan of action to combat the deleterious effects of systemic racism and police brutality. Currently, our team members are donating to just causes, marching in the streets, speaking out in public and private, and further educating ourselves about America’s racist past and present so that we are better equipped to call out injustice when we recognize it.
We take our role seriously as a conduit for amplifying voices and stories that tend to be ignored by the mainstream media. As for our day-to-day work of publicizing our artists and their stories, we’re working closely with them to find a balance between their need for artistic expression and their solidarity with the protest movement.
There is strength in numbers. Here is a resource that lists ways you can take action: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/

Audio: Smokepurpp – “Big Dawg” ft. Rick Ross
Two Generations of South Florida Rap Titans Connect in the Latest Release From Purpp’s Florida Jit Project, Out This Friday via Alamo Records
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 Song:
An imposing figure in the raucous South Florida rap scene, Smokepurpp specializes in visceral trap bangers. Putting aside his Audi to make some Maybach Music, Purpp shares “Big Dawg,” his new single. Produced by Diego Ave, “Big Dawg” is Purpp’s first collaboration with fellow Floridian Rick Ross, whose booming presence meshes perfectly with Purpp’s melodic hooks and declarative rhymes: “I got the bag and I knew I couldn’t fumble it/I put some racks in the hood then I juggled it,” spits Purpp. “Big Dawg” is the latest single from Florida Jit, Purpp’s upcoming project, following the outrageous video for the Ronny J-produced “Pop Sh*t.”
The follow-up to last year’s Deadstar 2, which featured hit singles like “What I Please” ft. Denzel Curry (24 million streams on Spotify) and “Dirty Dirty” ft. Lil Skies (approaching 30 million combined streams on YouTube and Spotify), Florida Jit continues Purpp’s steady ascent towards rap’s A-List. With production from Ronny J, Earl On The Beat (City Girls, Lil Baby, Lil Yachty), and Smokepurpp himself, the upcoming project boasts recently released singles like “It’s Whatever“ and “Off My Chest” ft. Lil Pump, which has over 3 milion views on YouTube. Featuring additional appearances from Denzel Curry, Jack Harlow, and Young Nudy, Florida Jit arrives on June 19th via Alamo Records.
Though Florida Jit is the the 23-year-old rapper’s first project of the year, Smokepurpp has kept very busy in a chaotic 2020. He earned his first Grammy nomination this year for his appearance on “Costa Rica,” the Gold-certified track from Revenge Of The Dreamers III. In February, Purpp’s breakout single “Audi” earned a Platinum certification from the RIAA, and his single “Do Not Disturb” went Gold. He’s currently turning heads with his guest spot on UK rapper KSI’s “Poppin’,” which has already generated 40 million streams across platforms. Look for Purpp to make more headlines in the coming months.

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 Records and 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 closed 2020 out with the highly-anticipated Deadstar 2. Look for his next project, Florida Jit, to arrive in June.
