Markese Money Rolle[2][3] (born April 1, 1991),[4][5] known professionally as SpaceGhostPurrp, is an American rapper and producer from Miami, Florida.
He is the founder of the now-defunct American hip hop group Raider Klan, as well as a co-founder of the Black Money Boys.
Successful Raider Klan members and associates that SpaceGhostPurrp worked with include Denzel Curry, Robb Banks, Pouya, Chris Travis, Yung Simmie, and Xavier Wulf.
[9] In high school, SpaceGhostPurrp began skateboarding frequently[10] but later decided that he wanted to pursue a career in music.
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.
In late September 2011, SpaceGhostPurrp announced he was dismissing Trilluminatti and now was working on a new mixtape to be called GOD OF BLVCK.
[citation needed] In early 2012 SpaceGhostPurrp signed a one-off record deal with British indie label 4AD and began remixing tracks from his earlier mix tapes for his debut album.
His debut album, titled Mysterious Phonk: Chronicles of SpaceGhostPurrp, was released on June 12, 2012, and consists of mostly remixed tracks from previous mixtapes.
SpaceGhostPurrp revealed in an interview[19] that there is an upcoming project between him and rap group Odd Future, which has supported him by playing his music at shows since he released the mixtape BLACKLAND RADIO 66.6.
[21] On January 19, 2014, SpaceGhostPurrp released a compilation titled 58 Blunts of Purrp, consisting of his own songs, hard to find tracks, and some he either produced or had a feature on.
[26] Later that year, SpaceGhostPurrp left Miami, and moved to Atlanta, where he made music with artists such as Father and OG Maco.
[citation needed] As 2016 concluded, Tiny Mix Tapes recognized SpaceGhostPurrp's Black Money Boys Death Row (BMB) collective as one of its favorite labels for 2016, noting that:[27] BMB's sound is a sinister twist on the MySpace-era material churned out by Soulja Boy and Lil B, tinged with Glo Gang's hazy drill hedonism.
Affiliates' discographies are often spread across multiple SoundCloud accounts, hosted by friends, buried in prolific back catalogues, and are sometimes deleted days after their conception.
[28] SpaceGhostPurrp has listed many artists as an influence, which include Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa, Gucci Mane, Poison Clan, Paris,[29] Three 6 Mafia, UGK, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Big L, Eazy-E, 2Pac, and DJ Screw.
Yams told SpaceGhostPurrp he enjoyed his Blackland Radio 66.6 mixtape and invited him to join up with ASAP Mob in New York City.
The feud was quiet and they seemed to be on good terms until former Raider Klan member Stoops was assaulted by ASAP Twelvyy[32] in June 2012.
This caused the feud between SpaceGhostPurrp and Twelvyy to reach its peak and eventually extend to the entirety of Raider Klan and ASAP Mob.
The feud quickly turned physical in November 2012 when affiliates of Raider Klan alongside SpaceGhostPurrp attacked members of ASAP Mob outside Miami.
