Sensational Female Poet NickyPurple Is Set to Release Her 6-Piece Life-inspired Mini Album
A top-rated female star of our time and a second-generation female lyricist extraordinaire; NickyPurple wears the ‘Poet At Large’ crown on her head as much as she wears a heart on her sleeve. What defines her musicality is honesty and relevance; she is alive to her communities needs and is one who is not shy to tell sensitive topics via her poetic panache. Beneath her calm-sounding personality is a fierce and womanly demeanor that she lets out once she grabs the mic in her hands.
NickyPurple is set to release her 6-piece life-inspired mini album which covers themes around men empowerment, toxicity and lies in relationships, self-worth and meditation, racism, and black community profiling. Throughout this album, you will realize that she really put her heart and soul into giving something that more than anything will remain relevant even for decades to come.
First on the show is the tune, “Move Ya Body” and this one needs a listener armed with their dancing shoes. It is physically impossible to listen to this track without moving your body (poetic, right!) NickyPurple really doesn’t care if you know how to dance; she really just wants you to let your body loose and possibly have the time of your life. That marriage between the guitar percussion, the drums and the steady bass evokes a melodious, catchy and unforgettable vibe that will remain ingrained in your listening senses even after the tune is no more!
In “Men are Mistreated” she adopts her default poetic lyrical brand as she turns boy child ambassador, relaying emotionally why she feels society has put so much pressure on the male child and that they being humans are also folding under that pressure. For example, society has conditioned men not to show emotions openly or be sentimental; – men going through domestic abuse are more often than not ignored. The child support system is unfair to them and most of them aren’t given their flowers not until they draw their last breath. As a man myself, I felt a deep sense of relatability and the way she drives her message reaches into the deep core of a listener’s heart!
“Truth is in the Phone” is another sentimental tune that is a creative remix from the Tank song, “I Deserve.” This track is all about self-reflection and introspection. Her poetic lyricism is backed by the appropriately layered instrumentation that offers the perfect balance for her straight-talk lyricism. She is factual and unrelenting and her words like a sharp sword, curse through the flesh of the ears and find harbor in a listener’s soul.
If you have ever felt like you are all alone in the world hiding from the demons you fight, then you will find solace in the track, “Mental Maintenance.” Her emotional honesty in this tune is like nothing I’ve heard before and if you can literally decipher between the lines, then her poetic ingenuity as displayed here is Oscar-deserved. Matters to do with mental health are crucial and that is why I commend her for finding the right phrases to put across as a track that most listeners will deeply resonate with.
In “Three Strikes” she adopts a no holds barred approach. She pays homage to some of the greats such as Remy Ma, Vybz Kartel and Martin Luther King and dives into the deep ills consuming America as a nation and the repercussions the black community has to endure. She lyrically details of the systematic injustices facing black people, how drug use has been criminalized as opposed to being handled from a point of medical intervention. She references police killings to one George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and how the blacks are now living in fear and anger. She bears it all in this track and you can feel it really means a lot to her (it’s personal and comes from a point of experience). NickyPurple’s heart bleeds for the status quo in America and she hopes for an end to the state-inflicted white supremacy.
The last track, “Gas Lighting” is a lyrical incursion that targets the gas lighters. I mean we have all experienced them and I couldn’t agree more with NickyPurple about how they are worse than liars. The way they twist things and play the victims so as to make someone seem like they crazy. It is actually mesmerizing how NickyPurple talks like she sings and sings like she talks;- all the while fashioning an admirable balance between the lines of poetry and hip-hop. As a listener, I was really moved and I hope to get to listen to more of her now that I’ve been accustomed to her.
Stay tuned for real-time updates with this mini album set to be followed by other projects as NickyPurple sets to continue doing it for the culture and being the voice of the voiceless. The music world certainly needs more of her type without a doubt!
