Album Notes

"The best thing that happened to rap music!"

At a time when everyone is trying to impress you with their "bling bling," this 23 year old producer/rapper creates a new genre of music, "4REAL RAP." "PURE" combines hardcore beats mixed with "REAL" situations from his past experiences. The south-side of Chicago resident went through trials and tribulations just like the majority of the inner-city youth and turned his negative energy into positive. "PURE'S" sincerity has allowed him to be a man repected amoungst men and a force to be reconed with in the music industry.

"The Code of the Streets Compilation" is an album that was assembled by "PURE" with the intent to showcase local unsigned talent in the Chicagoland area. What started out as a promotional tool exploded into "The Blueprint to Survival in Chicago." This album has virtually served as a "Gospel," as "PURE" and featured artist "HEAVY," have travelled from the grit and grime of Chicago to the darkest corners of the "Traps" in Atlanta to spread their creed.

The recent success of this album are a direct result of high-powered anthems like "BUSTDOWN," "CHEVY" and "BANG OR BALL." In addition, seasoned artists like "MARCUS 2000," "HEAVY" and "A.D.," combine to form a rap masterpiece. "The Code of the Streets Compilation," has been embraced by d.j.'s, record store owners, pimps, players and hustlers through the mid-west and down south.

"PURE" at the young age of 23 is a man of vision who has his own record label and is working on his own clothing line which will launch soon. This is his first album and the way it has made an impact, the competition better duck for cover because he has a new album coming in fall 2003, so watch out!!!
