The nimble Chicago rapper Joey Purp takes his downtime seriously. When he arrived at The FADER's office last week to share new sounds — his album iiiDrops, which is out today — he copped to being a SoHo House regular. And so in his pocket, he had his membership card and some eucalyptus oil (for the steam room), as well as a gold Botanica ring made for him by Thelonious Martin's girlfriend Nic De La Paz Alvarez, a half-eaten pack of Hi-Chews, rolling papers, and the white Vans he wears daily.
