This is the third release in the “To The Max (Maxi-Single Series)” (of seven in total), where each single is three versions of the same song (different beats), all produced by DJ Freddy Fresh, and all the cover art was done by Orikal Uno. The series is meant to mimic the 12” singles of the 80s/90s that were often heavy on remixes. But it’s also meant to be a showcase of DJ Freddy Fresh’s incredible range and expertise as a producer, covering a wide variety of styles, while also challenging me as an MC as well.
Purple has always been my favorite color, and the second verse actually tells the story of how that came to be. The first verse is more of an abstract approach that I wrote after going down a rabbit hole reading about the history of the color purple, and then just incorporating those ideas and references into a verse.
For all 21 beats in this Maxi-Single series, Freddy Fresh let me pick anything I wanted from his extensive catalog over the years (all on Bandcamp), so all of these beats are previously released, and below is info on the OG versions, so YOU can dive deeper into his catalog if you aren’t familiar…
