The Purist Feat. TREE: "Never Heard Of That"

Rough meets the smooth as the Chicago rapper on the up meets The Purist's cinematic beats.

You should remember British producer, The Purist, from the satisfyingly potty-mouth collaboration with Danny Brown "Jealousy" that premiered on Noisey back in March. He's now hooked up with the next in line to blow up in the form of Chicago rapper Tree.

Tree, aka Tremaine Johnson, has been happily bubbling away just below rap's radar, scooping up critical acclaim with his brooding Sunday School mixtapes. On "Never Heard Of That" he deftly juxtaposes his sand-paper rough growls with The Purist's smooth as shit, cinematic beat that firmly places you speeding through town in a lowrider at a dusk. Instead of, y'know, vibing at your desk.
