Starchild Charts The Minneapolis Sound w/ A Potent Mix Of Live Prince Rarities + Other Purple Gems

In the month since Prince's untimely death, we've seen salutes arrive in every shape and form. Some have been amazingly executed and emotionally draining (looking at you, D) others have been met with staunch criticism from the purple hive, though well intended and thoughtful (Madge.) Today we pry open yet another homage from Brooklyn's own Starchild (aka Bryndon Cook,) whose recent Ghostly debut Crucial oozes of The Purple One's hallmark perfectionism and do-it-all-my-damn-self approach.

A proud and devoted student of the paisley arts, Cook has compiled a potent mix of live Prince rarities and demos along for you to enjoy and remember the icon's enduring glow. Because live Prince is the best Prince, hands down. You'll also find purple-brushed gems from faithful Prince followers like Inc. and Dam-Funk. Stream Starchild's Prince mix down below. Catch him performing Prince's Sign O The Times front-to-back live at Brooklyn Bowl next Thursday, June 2nd with members of Holy Ghost! and Brian Blades Fellowship.
