Purple City Productions (also known as Purple City Entertainment or simpliy Purple City) is a Harlem-based hip-hop production house, collective, and record label. The first associated artists include the aforementioned label's founder Shiest Bub, Agallah, Un Kasa & E-Norm. In more recent years the roster has extended to include artists such as Smoke DZA, A-Mafia, Streets da Block, Den10, Smoke & Numbers and Doe Boy Choch.
Purple City released multiple mixtapes in the early 2000s before signing a deal with Babygrande Records in 2004. Through Babybgrande, they released a compilation of earlier mixtape tracks and three new albums.
History Purple City, also known as PCP or Purple City Productions, is closely affiliated with other Harlem-based artists such as the Diplomats. Purple City began in 2001 when Shiest Bub met Cam'Ron of the Diplomats at a shoe store. After exchanging numbers and weed, a connection was made. Shiest had the Purple, and soon enough Shiest was running around with Dip Set and Purple City was born. Cam'Ron served as mentors to Shiest, leading him to create Purple City and began to put out mixtapes. After signing a deal with Babygrande, Purple City released a compilation of mixtape tracks: Road to the Riches: The Best of the Purple City Mixtapes (2005). Later in 2005 they released two studio albums: The Purple Album and Paris to Purple City, the latter a collaboration with French artists. In 2006 they released Born to the Purple.
