The Announcement + Video:

Continuing the momentum built from his performance at Coachella, the Alamo Records signee announces Lost Planet 2.0, an expansion of his recent Lost Planet EP. Appending three new songs to the end of the original EP, Lost Planet 2.0 is a well-timed treat for his fans, arriving on the same day as his primetime performance at Rolling Loud Miami.

Coming through with a wild new video, Purpp shares “Repeat,” his latest video. Strutting his stuff atop a diabolical instrumental from Kenny Beats, Purpp packs a litany of rude rhymes and addictive cadences into the 2-minute song, weaving his way between the distorted bass blasts and robotic synths of the beat. The video echoes the futuristic elements in the instrumental–everyone in the video besides Purpp wears dark shades like characters from The Matrix, covering up otherworldly, all-black eyes. Meanwhile, Purpp keeps talking his shit on repeat, as he rocks head-to-toe designer, flashes his ice, and flexes in his all-white foreign.

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.
