The sound of a bell being struck introduces La Purp’s wonderfully braggadocious “Alien.” Not unlike Missy Elliott’s use of percussion in her 2001 hit “Get Ur Freak On,” it’s a signal for a passage into a futuristic musical space. La Purp uses low end pulses and a finely syncopated trap beat with subtle drones in her sound design as a backdrop to her self-portrait as someone who is perhaps high but not just on a substance of choice but on life and in life. When she raps “Up in space ships I am blasted” and elaborates on either side on the ways and provides the boastful evidence with a cool confidence worthy of a Kari Faux in its colorful facility of flow and language. Listen to “Alien” on YouTube and follow the rapper at the links below.
