Deadstar is the debut commercial mixtape by American rapper Smokepurpp. It was released on September 29, 2017, by Alamo Records and Interscope Records.[1] The mixtape features guest appearances from frequent collaborator Lil Pump, alongside Chief Keef, Yo Gotti, Juicy J, Travis Scott and DRAM.[2]

It was supported by five singles – "Audi", "Different Color Molly", "To the Moon", "Ok", and "Bless Yo Trap". In December 2019, a sequel to the mixtape was released, Deadstar 2.

Artwork

A friend of Smokepurpp came up with the idea for the album art from infamous punk rock artist GG Allin. On Purpp's album cover, he's seen in a coffin, surrounded by a newspaper clipping, photos of himself, alcohol and a lean bottle. This mimics an infamous photo of the punk rocker at his funeral. Allin died in 1993 due to a heroin overdose and was photographed at his funeral in his coffin with a bottle of Jim Beam and newspaper clippings surrounding him. His corpse was unwashed and unpreserved while wearing his leather jacket and jock strap (a trademark of his).[3]
