PURE: WRITTEN IN THE STARS!

Pure Performing Live

Pure is an R&B artist that represents Newark, NJ.  He is not only a household name, but he is creating a buzz all over the East Coast.  You may know him from his smash hits "Body Talk," "Sample," featuring Red Cafe, and "The Stars" which is the current single burning up the airways.  Pure has worked with major artists such as Maino, Sheek Louch, Grafh, Uncle Murder, and the aforementioned Red Cafe. If you haven't heard of him, introduce yourself to New Jersey's next big thing.  

Pure released his first mixtape entitled, "I AM Pure" in 2010.  This mixtape combines soulful sounds, as well music you can dance to.  Much of the production on the mixtape comes from his team of producers called the Venture Brotherz (Bobo and Out There).  I enjoy Pure's catalog of music because I think it provides balance.  My favorite songs on the mixtape are "Girl 4 Me," and "Crush."  If you ask ten people what their favorite song is, you will probably receive several different answers.  That speaks to the balance of his work.  

He is currently working on his new mixtape entitled, "Raw and Uncut."  The lead single on there is "The Stars," which you can hear on one of Hip-Hop's most popular radio stations, Hot 97.  The mixtape is due to drop later this summer.  

I asked Pure who his musical influences were while creating music, and he mentioned past and current artists.  His current musical influences are: Jay-Z, Coldplay, Nerds, Usher, and Justin Timberlake.  His past influences are: Prince, R Kelly, and Ginuwine.  I also spoke to Pure about signing a major recording deal.  He wants to take his time and choose a situation that is ideal for him.
