What does dirty sprite mean?
Lean by way of its most famous mixer. Sprite went 'dirty' the moment codeine syrup hit it, turning clear soda purple. Future cemented the name with his 2014 mixtape 'Monster' and the full 'Dirty Sprite' tape series — at one point Sprite themselves had to quietly distance the brand from the drug.
"Future made dirty Sprite sound like a luxury — kids who'd never seen codeine were quoting the lyrics."
Origin
Sprite emerged as the standard mixer for lean in Houston in the 1990s; Future's mixtape series 'Dirty Sprite' (2011) and 'Dirty Sprite 2' (2015) made the term mainstream.
