SpaceGhostPurrp began uploading music once he created his YouTube channel "Spaceeghostpurrpmj23" on May 23, 2010.

SpaceGhostPurrp's early releases contained series of visuals that included Purrped & Chopped songs containing visuals with 70/80s soul-train aesthetics, Purrped & chopped Toro y Moi songs & even a Kreayshawn music video.

SpaceGhostPurrp dropped singles for all these mixtapes, however, he never released these mixtapes due to his change of direction once he landed & stayed in New York to begin collaborating with the ASAP Mob.

SpaceGhostPurrp went on to NY in August 2011 to live and work with members from the ASAP Mob.
