SpaceGhostPurrp

Markese Money Rolle (born April 1, 1991), known professionally as SpaceGhostPurrp, is an American rapper and producer from Miami, Florida. Widely considered a pioneer of modern hip-hop and trap music, he is the founder of the now-defunct American hip-hop group Raider Klan, and a co-founder of the collective BMB Deathrow.

Successful Raider Klan members and associates that SpaceGhostPurrp worked with include Denzel Curry, Robb Banks, Pouya, Chris Travis, Yung Simmie, and Xavier Wulf. SGP gathered a following in the underground hip-hop scene through mixtapes, producing, and his work with other underground artists. He has produced tracks for Juicy J, Lil Uzi Vert, Wiz Khalifa, Robb Banks, ASAP Mob, and Lil Tracy, among others. Since 2009, SpaceGhostPurrp has released over 60 mixtapes, albums and EPs. He has since become well known for his eccentric and controversial public persona.

SpaceGhostPurrp was born in the neighborhood of Carol City in Miami Gardens, Florida. He began rapping at age 5 and producing at age 13. He attended Silver Trail Middle School in Pembroke Pines and Everglades High School in Miramar. He is of African-American, Bahamian and Cuban descent.

In high school, SpaceGhostPurrp began skateboarding frequently but later decided that he wanted to pursue a career in music. He worked to graduate from high school early. SpaceGhostPurrp began uploading music once he created his YouTube channel "Spaceeghostpurrpmj23" on May 23, 2010. SpaceGhostPurrp's early releases contained series of visuals that included Purrped & Chopped songs containing visuals with 1970s/1980s Soul Train aesthetics, Purrped & Chopped Toro y Moi songs, and a Kreayshawn music video.

In August 2010, SpaceGhostPurrp began working on NASA: The Mixtape. SpaceGhostPurrp formed hip-hop collective Raider Klan in 2008 along with Dough Dough Da Don, Kadafi, Muney Junior, and Jitt. Jitt died in 2010. SpaceGhostPurrp recruited various rap artists to Raider Klan, including Denzel Curry, Yung Simmie, Nell, Chris Travis, Xavier Wulf, Rell, Amber London, and Key Nyata, among many others.

At the tail end of 2010 and early 2011, SpaceGhostPurrp began collaborating with Lil Ugly Mane. This led to Ugly Mane doing the artwork for SpaceGhostPurrp's mixtape Blackland Radio 66.6.

After Blackland Radio 66.6 was released on May 1, 2011, a few weeks later SpaceGhostPurrp announced he was working on five mixtapes that were all to be released in 2011 called MIND OF PURRP, SUMMA PHONK VOL.ONE, TRILLUMINATTI, BLVCK MVRDOC, and a collaboration project with Mishka NYC called SON OF EYE. SpaceGhostPurrp dropped singles for all these mixtapes, however, he never released these mixtapes due to his change of direction once he landed and stayed in New York to begin collaborating with the ASAP Mob. In the summer of 2011, SpaceGhostPurrp was also working with fellow rappers Speak! and Juicy J.

SpaceGhostPurrp went on to NY in August 2011 to live and work with members from the ASAP Mob. In late September 2011, SpaceGhostPurrp announced he was dismissing Trilluminatti and now was working on a new mixtape to be called GOD OF BLVCK. This mixtape was released in February 2012.^{[citation needed]}
