Lil Xan may have not made the XXL Freshmen List but that doesn't seem to have any sort of impact on him. The rapper made his formal introduction to the rap game with his debut album, Total Xanarchy earlier this year and shortly after, he revealed that he's working on the follow-up. With Heartbreak Soldiers on the way, Xan links up with producer Diablo and Smokepurpp for their new collaboration "Purpple Hearts."

Diablo recruits Lil Xan and Smokepurpp for their new collaboration, "Purpple Hearts." Diablo delivers bouncy production with crisp 808 drums and a woodwind sound leading it. Xan holds down the hook on the track before Purpp comes through for the first verse. Purpp's sound has changed a lot since his debut album. He's channeled a more melodic sound which seems to be influenced by Travis Scott to an extent.

Unfortunately, "Purpple Hearts" won't be featured on Xan's upcoming project. The rapper previously shared the tracklist which features the likes of Lil Skies and $teven Cannon. Keep your eyes peeled for the project and look out for more music from Lil Xan, Smokepurpp and Diablo.

Quotable Lyrics
Pop a bean overnight
Still got demons tryna fight
Hit 120 on the dash
