    Arguably one of if not Future's best mixtapes to date. DJ Esco brings the best beats I have heard in a long time, especially in "Inside the Mattress" and "Bye Bye", although virtually every strong has a very strong beat as well as great vocals from Future. Great for a party or nightclub setting. Unfortunately, "Wicked" was omitted despite being arguably among Future's best, keeping thisArguably one of if not Future's best mixtapes to date.

    It’s good because, beneath his relentless hedonistic pursuits and idealistic belief in the nobility of the unruly drum loops, Future preserves a romantic’s perspective on his panoply of inconsequential street life and crystalline musings from within the studio.

    When Kanye West went through a similar transformation from 808s to the absolute perfection of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, he laid a roadmap for what artists could do once they’ve hit that “acceptance” stage. Purple Reign hasn’t followed this template well, and the music comes across as flat because of it.
