Joey Purp: "Monologue"
Save Money artist Joey Purp is back with his latest, "Monologue", released yesterday and produced by current Chicagoan Thelonious Martin. The track is a bit of a preview of his upcoming Leather Corduroys collaboration project with fellow Save Money member Kami De Chukwu. Check out the song here below.
Leather Corduroys to Perform in Chicago
It's coming. The chill in the air is just hitting the Midwest, a sign of what winter has in store. Luckily, Chicago has something this year to keep it warm: Leather Curduoroys. No, it's not a new fashion item from Kanye, but the name of two of Save Money's finest, Kami de Chukwu and Joey Purp. Why Leather Corduroys? Because what's hotter than that. "Think of the first thing you thought of when you heard the name 'Leather Corduroys," asked Chukwu at an interview in Pilsen the other day. "The temperature of your legs. It's an unimaginable concept, you can't have leather corduroys, it's like having seersucker suede," responded Joey. The duo brings the heat to Blue 1647 in Pilsen this weekend as part of a new event series in the Windy City named The Antidote. The event will feature a bazaar-type of atmosphere, with independent vendors from the music, art and tech fields set up. Both the space, Blue 1647, and the event are exactly what the city needs to incubate artistic talent and grow the community through something similar to the Brookyln Bazaar. Joining Leather Corduroys performing on Saturday are The GTW and The Holy Kit with DJ sets from Stay Gold (Sir Devin Hudson Beng Feng) and DJ 20 Minutes. It's getting chilly, why not warm yourself up with some ruffled leather? Take a listen to Leather Cord's song "Prophet" and click here for tickets.

[Video] Joey Purp: “I Don’t Care”
I met Joey this year at SXSW down in Austin, TX. Joey's personal style is definitely something that stands out at a quick glance. Ever since then, I’ve been keeping up with any new music he puts out. He’s been putting in work as one of the SaveMoney members who continuously drops good music. Joey links with Thelonious Martin on this track and bring us a short, but sweet video which has us anticipating new work. Check out the video below and stay tuned for more on Joey Purp with us.
