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/

Video: Smokepurpp – “Chopstix” (Prod. by CBMIX)
The Alamo Records Signee Hosts a Party For His Homies–Including Lil Mosey–in the Latest Video from Florida Jit
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:
Florida rapper Smokepurpp specializes in quick-hitting, bass-heavy party anthems. Coming through with a visual from his recent project Florida Jit, Purpp shares “Chopstix.“ Produced by CBMIX (Lil Pump, Juice WRLD, Kanye West), “Chopstix” is a proudly uncouth slapper, as Purpp works a triplet cadence to brag about his life as a successful young rapper: “I’ll show you a thing, yeah, that we Benihana’s the way we keep chopsticks.” In the video, Purpp gathers Lil Mosey and several others in his L.A. mansion for a rager, as he dances on table tops and swishes some jump shots. Directed by DreVegas, “Chopsticks” follows last week’s eye-popping animated video for “Tide Pen” ft. Jack Harlow.
Packed with rude bars about Purpp’s expensive tastes and irresponsible lifestyle, Florida Jit delivers 17 tracks of high-octane trap music. The new project boasts several beats from Florida sound architect Ronny J, whose earworm melodies and distorted low-end helped establish the SoundCloud sound, as well as instrumentals from Miami hitmaker Earl On The Beat and standout production from Purpp himself. Florida Jit hosts a series of successful recent singles singles, including “It’s Whatever,” “Pop Sh*t,” which inspired an outrageous music video, “Off My Chest” ft. Lil Pump, which is quickly approaching 4 million views on YouTube, and “Big Dawg,“ a luxurious collaboration with fellow Floridian Rick Ross. Featuring additional appearances from Denzel Curry and Young Nudy, Florida Jit is available everywhere via Alamo Records.
Florida Jit is the follow-up to December 2019’s Deadstar 2, home to successful singles “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). Earlier this year, Smokepurpp 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.
Last week, Smokepurpp and his apparel company 6 DEAD BATS unveiled the WELCOME TO HELL COLLECTION, a brand new line of Smokepurpp merch. Head to 6deadbats.com to purchase items from the capsule collection, including hoodies, t-shirts, and a face mask.

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.
