PURP IN DA DRANK // XXYYXX & GRANT


This 16 year-old producer from Orlando has lit up the internet with his collab with Giraffage, “Even Though”. His latest post on Bandcamp is a free download (unlike the Giraffage tune, which is decidedly not-free), a take on Waka Flocka Flame’s “Hard in the Paint”. This one’s all about the beat, spare but definitely poppin’. Another Orlando producer, GRANT has a different take on the same tune, keeping more of the lyrics (and absurdity) of the original. Both tracks exhibit the ‘street’ sensibility of TRAP House – a new micro-genre. There’s an awareness of the absurdity – that’s part of its’ appeal. Listen / download below.
