／／／Purple Soul ｜ Extended Bio ／／／
If you are a fan of real hip-hop, and being confident about Chinese hip-hop, then you must know one name——Purple soul. This name came from crystal violet, it is extracted from herb, and man put it on the wound to heal.
Some people say Beijing Hip-hop stands alone because it has some kind of belief, this belief will not be driven interests, will not be influenced by the surroundings. In a scene polluted by fake, commercial imitators, Purple Soul keep themselves firmly rooted and bring real life experiences and issues to the forefront of their music. If you want some pure and real hip-hop music, purple soul will bring you the feeling like the meaning of their name------- The purest purple soul, help you to heal the wound.
Their debut album, W.T.F, takes things back to basics, with a 90’s golden age influence throughout but with a freshness that can bring around even the most jaded of hip-hop fans. 《W.T.F》 is one of the most exciting and consistent hip-hop albums to come out China in recent years.
Jie Zi is one of the most exciting new MC in Beijing. The consociation between him and Jahjah Way is perfect. His lyrics are thought-provoking. Sometimes people may think they are too straight, but his words reflect his attitude, there is no hypocrisy, there is zero tolerance for fake. He puts meaning to every single word he use.
“Quite frankly, the great leader rules my country by manipulation and brainwashing. The sense of Deja Vu came with the dazzling light, till the noise wake me up without noticing.
——Jie Zi《Long Dan Zi 龙胆紫》
“Companions are odious, open your heart and accept this.”
——Jie Zi《Di Xia Tong Dao地下通道》
Jahjah Way is a former member of Chinese hip-hop heavyweights IN3. He use his lyrics to express feelings precisely, and show young generations’ attitude about social problems. He is deeply influenced by Rastafari movement. He use his rap to connect with the youngsters, because he sees the good from the bad, still have hope, still love peace.
“Greedy people in this city, wasting their limited lifetime for nothing.”——Jahjah Way《BJC》
“In the Babylon I stand alone, ’cause I know Jah never let us down.”——Jahjah Way《BJC》
Bboy Crazy&DJ ARC
Before being a DJ, he was better known as B-boy crazy. He took place in hundreds of B-boy battles, commercials, and non-profit performances since 2003, built street credit by some real stuff!
2008 UK BBOY Champion of China region, represent Chinese B-boys and reached the world final in UK
2009 CIRCLE KINGZ Champion of China region, represent Chinese B-boys and reached the world final in Switzerland
2010 FREESTYLE SESSION Champion

Early in 2010,he held the first Beijing B-boy and MC cypher with J.J and Jie Zi——Forbidden city rockerz. He started his DJ career for the love of hip-hop. The five elements of Hip-hop are firmly connected, his B-boy background gives him an excellent sense of timing and rhythm, the first show he did with Purple Soul was a magic. Having DJ Arc in the team is a big step for Purple Soul to develop a more complete and professional crew.
Purple soul is not pessimism, like JahJah Way says,” Giving you a scar, so you won’t forget.” Purple soul knows where your wound is, it heals you, but you got to remember how you get hurt. Purple soul makes real music and keeps it real.
