Through the Grape Vine is the debut mixtape by American rapper and Internet personality Jerry Purpdrank. It was released on August 24, 2016, and it’s currently available on iTunes, SoundCloud, Spotify, and YouTube. Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, Jerry Purpdrank originally made videos on Vine, a short-form video service where you made 6-second videos that are played on a continuous loop. Jerry started gaining a large amount of fame with his Vines around the start of 2014. From that point on, he continuously made Vines until October 2016, when Vine announced it would be shutting down and phasing out within the next few months. Vine shut down completely on January 17, 2017 – one week before what would have been the company’s fourth anniversary. In August 2016, Jerry announced Through the Grape Vine, his first official foray into music. He had hyped up the tape by releasing two singles, “Living It”, and “No L’s”, to iTunes and Spotify a few months earlier, in May 2016. The mixtape has seven tracks, with one bonus track, “TTGV”, available exclusively to SoundCloud listeners.
