DEEP DIVE

Lean is also known as Barre, purple drank, purp, sizzurp, purple stuff, or dirty Sprite. It is classically served a styrofoam or paper cup. Dirty Fanta is lean made with Fanta instead of Sprite.

The drink is a powerful narcotic mixture that typically makes users sleepy and high. As it is a drug, Lean has serious side effects and is addictive. Lean is especially dangerous when mixed with alcohol and other drugs. It has contributed to celebrity deaths including the death of A$AP Yams, a founder of A$AP Mob.

Lean and nicknames for it are often referenced in popular rap and R&B songs such as “Stargazing” by Travis Scott and “Gucci Gang” by Lil Pump.
