Hailing from the crime infested streets of Lynn, Massachusetts, a.k.a., the "City of Sin",

Purpose

would take the same dark environment that consumed those around him and use it as fuel to feed his real passion: hip-hop culture. Having already established his

Tragic Allies

crew and earned widespread respect for his gritty production work, Purpose is now ready to prove that his mic skills are just as sharp as his beatmaking on his new mixtape, "

Better Than Your Album

", a relentlessly quality project made from pure hip-hop concentrate.

Along with DJBooth's partner site "Better Than Your Album" is presented in conjunction with

One3 Music

and

Diamond Music Group

. East coast underground giant

Statik Selektah

handles hosting duties with

DJ Slipwax

of the Deck Demon providing cuts. Guest verses come from

Estee Nack

and

Code Nine

(of Tragic Allies),

Singapore Kane

and

Ghetto Lion

, and production comes from Purpose himself in addition to

Archimedes, Crucial the Giollotine, KOS, White Lotus

and many more.

What's that? You spent thousands and thousands of dollars on your album? That sucks for you, Purpose's mixtape is better.
