It's not about keeping it real, or being true to the game. It’s about being true to Buff1. Seasoned mic veteran Buff1 approaches 'Pure', his debut solo album, by abandoning clichés and putting his soul on each record. With a commanding presence on and off stage, Buff1 consistently delivers hits. Whether rocking a party banger, a political burner or a soulful anthem, one thing is certain; you'll never receive anything less than 100% 'Pure' Buff1.

Ten years after the seven men of Athletic Mic League (AML) came together as teenagers, the other six members approached Buff1 with a new plan: it was time to bring him to the forefront as a solo artist. With the underground infamy of AML’s own Lab Techs produced, “Sweats and Kicks” (2002), and the mutually adored national release of “Jungle Gym Jungle” (2004, Barak Records), the group had
emerged as a premiere act in the musically thick Detroit scene performing with Hip-Hop’s elite including Eminem, Mos Def, Ghostface Killah, Talib Kweli, Slum Village, Boot Camp Click, Jurassic 5, Dead Prez and Little Brother to name a few.
