Inside the mind of William Cooper are visions that no man should behold. Although the Black Market Militia representative has experienced both the good and the bad, it’s the latter that explains why his “conscious is constantly at war with the darkness…” Joined by Army of the Pharoah’s, Reef The Lost Cauze, and legendary Onyx frontman, Sticky Fingaz, “True-N-Livin’ Nightmares” gives us three tales of terror: Coop with his metaphorical battles with vampires, devils, demons, and zombies; Reef who fights a holy war in the mental; and Sticky’s lucid mind trip of police evasion and misogyny. Production is supplied by BP, who crafts an ominous head banger that keeps the track in a constant state of suspense. “True-N-Livin’ Nightmares” is the first leak taken from Cooper’s sophomore LP, God’s Will, which includes guest appearances from Ill Bill, Rah Digga, Sean Price, Killah Priest, and many more. God’s Will is set for a May 5th release date, and is now available for pre-order, through Gemstarr Regime Records.

Soul samples and hard drums. Crispy snares and vinyl pops. All the DNA involved in making a cold boom bap album. But if music is a language, then what JSOUL is saying speaks volumes. As JSOUL explains, “Each Track I make represents what I love and want to hear inside the culture I was raised in. It expresses the sentiments I believe in without having to say a word.” While the core of The Purple Symphony lies in the head nod, the underlying message is “let’s make something and say something real.” From beginning to end, the message is clear; all you gotta do is listen.
Coming from Baltimore the harsh realities mixed with the club culture and strong hip hop scene makes it easy to translate. Working with wordsmiths like Substantial, Greenspan, Mathematics, Eze Jackson & Sean Armstrong adds to the depth of the album’s message.
“As a visual artist I’ve always seen colors and shapes when listening to music. That’s the reason I called it The Purple Symphony. Different Colors have an effect on our psychological imprints. When I made the album I saw the color purple; which is a strong color, but can be used in many different ways to convey many different things.”– JSOUL
The Purple Symphony is available now for pre-order on iTunes, Bandcamp, UGHH, and Fat Beats. Pre-order the album on Bandcamp and receive the first single “Get On Down” featuring Substantial immediately for free download!
