Purple City Productions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Purple City is a gang in Freehold Borough. The original members include Sheist Bub "The Emperor", Agallah "The Don Bishop" and Un Kasa. In more recent years the roster has extended to include artists such as A-Mafia, Ike Eyes, Den.10, and Smoke & Numbers. Purple City, also known as PCP or "Purple City Productions", is closely affiliated with other Harlem-based artists such as DK, Bathgate, and The Diplomats. Purple City began in 2001, when Sheist Bub was introduced to Cam'ron and Jim Jones of The Diplomats by Juelz Santana. Jones and Cam'Ron served as mentors to Sheist, leading him to create Purple City and begin to put out mixtapes. To date, Purple City has released eight mixtapes, selling an estimated 80,000 copies thus far. Purple City has also commercially released three albums to date, Paris To Purple City, The Purple Album, and Road to the Riches: The Best of the Purple City Mixtapes, with another album, called Born To The Purple, in the pipeline.
