Purple Reign is the first of several projects by Future in 2016, made with the same character and mood that bordered on depression and fun as last year. The tape features a variety of beats from Metro Boomin, Southside, DJ Spinz, and Zaytoven, and Future's flow varies, while his voice acquires different emotions. The article talks about Future's love for money, his struggle between good and bad, family life and parties, and his addiction to the purple drank. The article also mentions the lyrics of the song 'Scholarships' by Drake and Future, which inspired the name of the mixtape.
