R.A.P. Ferriera - Purple Moonlight Pages [2020]

Published in PostGenre


On Purple Moonlight Pages, R.A.P. Ferreira is extremely loose and free, at times even nonchalant, but he is always impressive and in control. The emcee's intriguing abstract nature, wit, confidence and unwavering commitment to the craft of imaginative rhyming all combine in a performance that will undoubtedly go on to be remembered as one of his peaks. Although his verses are rarely conventionally direct, the combination of the upward trajectory of his career, the establishment of his own record label and the birth of his son has made Ferreira much more open and reflective lyrically. Living and learning from these experiences has helped him release what is arguably his best work yet.
