LILPURPLEZOMBIE IS KNOWN FOR HIS AMAZING GROWTH IN THE FIELD OF MUSIC…
Tell us a little more about when you first got into music?
I’ve loved music ever since I can remember. I grew up in a very musically versatile household with my Dad listening to Hard Rock, Heavy Metal & Blues, my Mom listening to Pop & Classic Rock & my older brother listening to a lot of Rap & Hip-Hop. I decided to start rapping in late 2018 after recording a few songs for fun that my friends seemed to enjoy, but I really started taking it seriously in late 2019/early 2020 after sharing the stage with some bigger artists such as Riff Raff, Ying Yang Twins, Xavier Wulf, Eddy Baker & more.
If you could describe your sound/style in one word, what would it be and why?
Unique. I feel like I don’t actually sound like anyone in particular other than Lil Purple Zombie. I’ve been compared to $uicideboy$, Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert, Kodak Black, Ugly God, Lil Dicky, Ghostmane & a lot more lol. I don’t think I actually sound like any of them though personally.
What would you say to any aspiring recording artists who look up to your work?
As cliche as it sounds, never give up. You’re your own worst enemy, so don’t talk yourself out of taking that next step that could be life-changing just because it might seem scary. The bigger the risk the bigger the reward!
Do you have anything new or upcoming we can expect to see from you?
My debut Mixtape “Trappin’ After Death” just recently dropped & you can find it everywhere! My official website is lilpurplezombie.com which has all my music platform links, social media links, official music videos, EPK, events & more. I’ve also got upcoming shows with Bobby Fishscale on Friday, August 6th in Fort Walton Beach, FL @ Vibe Nightclub & with Lil Xan on Saturday, August 21st in Jacksonville, FL @ 1904 Music Hall! & keep an eye out for the Lil Purple Zombie – “Trappin’ On The Road Tour” starting Friday, October 1st in Mobile, AL @ Alabama Music Box!

Lana Crow turns challenges into a celebration with “Laugh With You”
“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.
“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.
Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”
It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

BluntBrad Jr. finds calm ambition in the laid-back shine of “It’s All Good”
BluntBrad Jr.’s new single, “It’s All Good,” sounds like a steady handshake and a deep breath. It’s warm, honest, and not trying to be cool. There isn’t any fancy production hiding behind layers of polish here. Instead, the song is all about being honest. The song is laid-back and offers up the shine of a studio recording for the feeling of a candid introduction, a musical “hello” from someone who wants to be heard for who they are.
“It’s All Good” is a very human way to be hopeful at its core. The feeling is simple and real, like someone who won’t let little things stand in the way of their goals. The words to the song sound like friends talking to each other. They discuss their goals, their drive, and their need for attention in a way that is honest and not needy.
The production backs this up by making sure that everything is open and airy. The instruments are simple and easy to understand, so BluntBrad Jr.’s voice and message come through clearly. The song feels real because it doesn’t have a lot of extra stuff in it. You’re not hearing a heavily constructed persona; you’re hearing someone at the start of a journey, eager to make their mark.
The song’s rough edges make it captivating, which is better than polish, which would have smoothed it out. This way of thinking fits with the theme: hope isn’t naive here; it’s realistic and steady. It speaks to people who like simple songs and value honesty over artifice.
“It’s All Good” is an engaging and approachable phrase that offers context for an artist who is confident and clear about their artistic vision. This is the kind of song you listen to when you need some honest encouragement to remember that just being human can help you move forward. This is only the first chapter of something serious, so expect more from him.
