‘I Got 5 On It’ with Purpose

Pagen Elypsis MC and young go-getter Purpose has got bars to spare. Plenty of them. Like more than Pentridge and Barwon combined. But does he have answers? We decided to throw him our patented ‘I Got 5 On It’ quiz and see what happened.

Frank Ocean or The Weeknd?

Tough one, I’m a Frank fan but I’d have to say The Weeknd. Put a lot of quality music out last year, enjoyed all of it. Dude can sing his ass off.

“Dead Presidents I” or “Dead Presidents II”?

“Dead Presidents II’. Original is good but Pt 2 is just classic. Reasonable Doubt is one of my all time favorite albums and that song is a big part of the reason why.

360 or Kerser?

In the battle? 60. It was a good battle, but 60’s experience just rapping/clarity won it for me.

Deafness or Blindness?

Woooooow another tough one. Damn. Uh…. I think I’d go with Blindness. There’s so much in the world to see, but music can paint a clear picture in the minds eye. Plus then when I bump into people they’ll just feel bad instead of us fighting to the death.

Big L or Big Pun?

Big L. Both were amazing writers but me and my boys probably know all the words to every Big L song.

Purps just dropped the third installment in his If The City Had A Voice mixtape series which you can grab HERE. Be on the look out for his debut LP this year too.

Purpose - ‘6 In The Mornin’

We’ve been a fan of Purps for a while. Hell, he and fellow Pagen Elypsis spitter Pohetikut were our first in-studio guests when Peak Street had our gully radio show on SYN (on that note fuck you Desh you Planet Urban cocksmoking bitchass sack sucking turd). The man was also in Issue 1 of our magazine for christs sake. So of course we were going to check out his mixtape “If The City Had a Voice Part 2” when it dropped.

And it’s impressive shit. But if you’re expecting straight dirty battle rhymes, forget it. Purpose’s lyricism is polished. Like, shiny polished. So polished that it hurts your eyes polished. Like it is crossover polished, deserving of getting a chance to crack the US market, not David fucking Dallas. Fuck he even uses he term swag in his rhymes and I still don’t hate him. That’s pretty big for me! Though to be honest Purps you were pushing the friendship with that dubstep shit……..

He rides over some stolen beats, sounding right at home over some of Ye’s recent creations, but what really surprised me was that the man is really getting good behind the boards now too, with tracks like ‘Where I’m Comin From’ and ‘All Over the World’ sounding sharp.

The above track ‘6 In The Mornin’ shows Purps at his best on the mic and boards. Headnodding goodness, quotables by the dozen and a cadence all you lames could learn from. Oh yeah and DJ Hacksaw smashing it on the cut. Click the cover and enjoy.
