Chicago mainstay Joey Purp returns with “CANDYPAINT” the newest offering from his forthcoming, self-released mixtape UpLate, due September 24. “CANDYPAINT” is the latest track to highlight Purp’s rapid-fire cadence and gritty production. His signature growling, laid-back delivery is interwoven with textured, intricate boardwork from the multifaceted rapper. Chicago to his core, Purp fuses his rap stylings with the proverbial Chicago house sound, demonstrating his adept range and intimate understanding of the two distinct--yet equally Chicagoan--genres. “CANDYPAINT” offers fans a taste of what’s to come on Sept 24 when UpLate is officially unveiled.
Joey, a frequent collaborator with some of Chicago’s best including Mick Jenkins, Saba, Chance The Rapper and Vic Mensa, has always brought a unique brand of house-inspired hip-hop. His unique approach has earned him appearances on network TV (He performed with RZA on Late Night With Jimmy Kimmel), and placements on HBO shows including FBoy Island, High Maintenance, and Ballers. Now, with UpLate he is poised to continue his winning streak in 2021 and beyond. Watch for more to come soon.
