Markese Money Rolle (born April 1, 1991), known as SpaceGhostPurrp, is an American rapper and music producer from Miami, Florida. He started the hip hop group Raider Klan, which is no longer active. He also helped create the Black Money Boys.
SpaceGhostPurrp worked with many successful artists from Raider Klan, including Denzel Curry, Robb Banks, Pouya, Chris Travis, Yung Simmie, and Xavier Wulf. He became popular in the underground hip hop world by releasing mixtapes, producing music, and working with other artists. He has produced songs for famous artists like Juicy J, Lil Uzi Vert, Wiz Khalifa, Robb Banks, ASAP Mob, and Lil Tracy. His first studio album, Mysterious Phonk: Chronicles of SpaceGhostPurrp, came out on June 12, 2012. Since then, SpaceGhostPurrp has released over 60 mixtapes and EPs. He is also known for his unique and sometimes surprising public style.

Early Life and Music Start
SpaceGhostPurrp was born in the Carol City area of Miami, Florida. He began rapping when he was 5 years old and started producing music at age 13. He went to Silver Trail Middle School in Pembroke Pines and Everglades High School in Miramar. His family background includes both Bahamian and Cuban heritage.
When he was in high school, SpaceGhostPurrp enjoyed skateboarding. However, he later decided he wanted to focus on a music career. He worked hard to finish high school early. On May 23, 2010, SpaceGhostPurrp started his YouTube channel, "Spaceeghostpurrpmj23," and began sharing his music there. His early videos often featured old 70s and 80s soul-train styles, along with his "Purrped & Chopped" songs.
In August 2010, SpaceGhostPurrp started working on a mixtape called NASA: The Mixtape. He formed the hip-hop group Raider Klan in 2008 with Dough Dough Da Don, Kadafi, Muney Junior, and Jitt. Jitt passed away in 2010. SpaceGhostPurrp brought many other rap artists into Raider Klan, such as Denzel Curry, Yung Simmie, Nell, Chris Travis, Xavier Wulf, Rell, Amber London, and Key Nyata.
In late 2010 and early 2011, SpaceGhostPurrp started working with Lil Ugly Mane. Lil Ugly Mane even created the artwork for SpaceGhostPurrp's album, Blackland Radio 66.6. Around the same time, SpaceGhostPurrp was also busy making the Blackland Radio 66.6 mixtape.
After Blackland Radio 66.6 was released on May 1, 2011, SpaceGhostPurrp announced plans for five more mixtapes that year. These were called MIND OF PURRP, SUMMA PHONK VOL.ONE, TRILLUMINATTI, BLVCK MVRDOC, and SON OF EYE (a project with Mishka NYC). He released singles for these, but the mixtapes themselves were never fully released. This was because he changed his focus when he moved to New York to work with the ASAP Mob. In the summer of 2011, SpaceGhostPurrp also collaborated with rappers Speak! and Juicy J.
SpaceGhostPurrp moved to New York in August 2011 to live and create music with members of the ASAP Mob. In late September 2011, he announced he was no longer working on Trilluminatti. Instead, he was making a new mixtape called GOD OF BLVCK, which came out in February 2012.
First Album and Tours
In early 2012, SpaceGhostPurrp signed a special record deal with 4AD, a British indie company. He began to remix songs from his earlier mixtapes for his first official album. Besides his own music, he also creates beats for other artists, especially those in Raider Klan. He produced a song called T.A.P. for Wiz Khalifa's mixtape Taylor Allderdice. He also made "Keep it G" and "Pretty Flacko" for ASAP Rocky.
His first album, Mysterious Phonk: Chronicles of SpaceGhostPurrp, was released on June 12, 2012. It mostly featured remixed songs from his earlier mixtapes. He often worked with rapper Juicy J and produced several tracks for Juicy J's "Blue Dream & Lean." SpaceGhostPurrp also appeared on "Daily News," a song from Domo Genesis and The Alchemist's album "No Idols". This song also featured Earl Sweatshirt and Action Bronson. He was also on "Kush Cloud" by Freddie Gibbs, along with Krayzie Bone.
SpaceGhostPurrp shared in an interview that he had a future project planned with the rap group Odd Future. Odd Future had supported him by playing his music at their shows ever since he released the BLACKLAND RADIO 66.6 mixtape.
On July 16, 2012, SpaceGhostPurrp started his first tour with the hardcore punk band Trash Talk. This short tour lasted from July 16 to July 23, with four shows in California, one in Oregon, and two in Washington. His song "The Black God" was ranked #46 on Pitchfork's list of the 50 best songs of 2012. He also performed in Miami during the Ultra Music Festival on March 17, 2013, with fellow Raider Klan members Yung Simmie and Klan Rico.
Later Projects
On January 19, 2014, SpaceGhostPurrp released a collection of songs called 58 Blunts of Purrp. This included his own songs, rare tracks, and some he produced or was featured on. On February 28, 2014, he released an 18-song mixtape called B.M.W. 2: IntoXXXicated. This mixtape did not feature any other artists and went back to the raw, lo-fi sound of his earlier music. He later released a slightly different version of "B.M.W. 2: IntoXXXicated" with changed song speeds and slightly better sound quality, but it still kept its lo-fi feel. A few months later, it was improved, some songs were removed, a new song was added, and it was released as an album on iTunes under the name IntoXXXicated.
In early 2015, SpaceGhostPurrp released two new projects. The first was Dark Angel, released on January 13. The second was a 5-song EP called Money Mendoza, released on January 25. Later that year, SpaceGhostPurrp moved from Miami to Atlanta. There, he made music with artists like Father and OG Maco. In April 2015, SpaceGhostPurrp released two more collections of songs.
One was called VENENO, which was a longer version of an EP released earlier that year. The other was PYRO Era, mostly made up of songs released in 2014 and 2015. On May 9, a new EP called Richest Revenge was released through his Instagram account, using the name Money Mendoza. In May 2015, Raider Klan released Raider Klan Records: The Mixtape, which included some music and vocals from SpaceGhostPurrp.
On June 24, 2015, Dej Loaf released a song with Young Thug called "Shawty." This song was co-produced by Young Roc and used a part of the instrumental from SpaceGhostPurrp's song "RAIDER PRAYER" (from his album Mysterious Phonk: The Chronicles of SPACEGHOSTPURRP). SpaceGhostPurrp was not given credit by the producer, which led to a small disagreement on Twitter that was quickly settled.
Recent Music
On May 9, 2016, SpaceGhostPurrp released a mixtape called Blackland Radio 66.6 Pt. 2 only on DatPiff. He had planned to release more parts of Volume 2, but he later decided to go straight to releasing Blackland Radio 3 on March 4, 2018.
In early 2017, SpaceGhostPurrp signed a deal with the label Yeah We On Entertainment, LLC. This label now helps distribute SpaceGhostPurrp's music that was released before.
Music Style and Inspirations
SpaceGhostPurrp has said that many artists have influenced his music. These include Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa, Gucci Mane, Poison Clan, Paris, Three 6 Mafia, UGK, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Big L, Eazy-E, 2Pac, and DJ Screw.
He has worked with many of the artists who inspired him, like Juicy J on his 2012 mixtape "Blue Dream & Lean." SpaceGhostPurrp often says his dark "phonk" music style comes from the environment he grew up in, Carol City, which he calls "Blackland." This connection is also seen in his critically praised mixtape Blackland Radio 66.6.
He and other Raider Klan members have mentioned the shooting of Trayvon Martin. SpaceGhostPurrp even made a tribute song called "No Evidence," which was released on his album "Mysterious Phonk: The Chronicles of SpaceGhostPurrp." SpaceGhostPurrp has also shared that he is a big fan of extreme metal bands like Meshuggah.
His stage name comes from the main character of Hanna-Barbera's 1966 TV show Space Ghost and its 1994 comedy talk show Space Ghost Coast to Coast.
