Joey Purp Announces New Mixtape, Shares Video for New Song

Joey Purp has announced his new mixtape UpLate with a video for the new song “Outside.” The self-released tape—which has no guest features and features Joey Purp’s production debut—is due out September 24. Check out the video for “Outside” below.

Of UpLate, Purp said in a statement:

We really just wanted to expand. Expand on everything we’ve done. Expand on our sound. Expand Chicago’s sound and what that means to the world. We wanted to give a glimpse at our history and our future at the same time you know. There’s a saying, you don’t know where you’re going unless you know where you came from. In hip-hop, we say it ain’t where you from it’s where you at. So this is where we’re from and this is where we’re at and this is where we’re going. And this is what it sounds like.

Joey Purp previously released his project Quarterthing in 2018.
