Baltimore, Maryland producer JSoul had his Purple Symphony album released today on Hipnott Records. The Golden Era-influenced set of crackly soul samples and snares was visualized by the producer as being the color purple conveying strength. The protests in Baltimore regarding the police custody death of Freddie Gray has caused JSoul’s release party to be rescheduled for Tuesday May 5th at Organic Soul Tuesdays which takes place at the Downtown Cultural Arts Center.

Hipnott Records introduces Maryland R&B producer JSoul with the 4-song instrumental Audio Appetizerz EP. JSoul is known by indie soul fans for his previous Black Sinatra album that included appearances from Eric Roberson, Natalie Stewart, Julie Dexter, Carol Riddick and W.Ellington Felton. He’s currently working on his Purple Symphony project, which is described as “boom bap sprinkled with jazz and soul” and has features from Baltimore rappers Eze Jackson, Mathematics, GreenSpan and D.C. DJ Sean Armstrong.
