History
Purple City, also known as PCP or Purple City Productions, is closely affiliated with other Harlem-based artists such as The Diplomats and Tru Life. Purple City began in 2002 when Shiest Bub ran into Cam'Ron of The Diplomats at a sneaker store. After exchanging numbers, Cam'Ron served as mentors to Shiest, leading him to create Purple City and began to put out mixtapes. To date, Purple City has released eight mixtapes, selling an estimated 11,234 copies thus far, and launching the career of E-Norm. 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.
