80Purppp Unleashes the Kraken with New Single

Hailing from London and rooted in Ghanaian culture, 80Purppp is back with his latest release, “release! (THE KRAKEN).” The song is a bold step into the world of introspection and truth-telling, blending elements of Hip-Hop, R&B, and alternative music.

Recorded in Edmonton, Canada, “release! (THE KRAKEN)” highlights 80Purppp’s unique artistic vision. Influenced by the likes of Drake, XXXtentacion, and Sampha, the track’s production, handled by Mixmp and Grant Lapointe, features intricate guitar riffs, reversed vocal samples, and crisp percussion. Together, these elements create a hypnotic soundscape that perfectly complements 80Purppp’s reflective vocals.

The song’s concept was inspired by a transformative trip to Paros, Greece, where the mythical Kraken served as a symbol for confronting uncomfortable truths. 80Purppp explains, “The song is about what people tend to do when given knowledge they don’t want to hear, specifically when they claim they want it.”

Through this metaphor, the artist delves into the human tendency to reject truths that disrupt comfort and routine. It’s a thought-provoking reflection on self-awareness, growth, and the power of facing one’s inner demons.

“release! (THE KRAKEN)” is more than a song; it’s an invitation to embark on a journey of self-discovery. Don’t miss this striking release—stream it now and let 80Purppp guide you through the depths of his creative mind.
