Un Kasa & Agallahposted by JohnStudd at Wednesday, May 18, 2005. The Dipset have formed a cult following since Cam'ron introduced them on his Roc-A-Fella debut, Come Home With Me.

Since then, the group has been making some major moves including long-time Dipset affiliates, Purple City.Purple City, consisting of the Emperor Shiest Bub, UnKasa and the Don Bishop Agallah, have entered into a joint venture with rising label Babygrande Records and will be dropping three new albums in 2005.For those who aren't too familiar with Purple City, they have been creating quite a buzz in the streets over the past few years via mixtapes, all while soaking up game from Dipset generals, Cam'ron and Jim Jones.' Jim Jones took me to a lot of label meetings and taught me how to flip the street game to the rap game, because there is a difference,' says Shiest Bub, Purple City Entertainment's CEO. 'I'll always be a Diplomat and Cam'rom also taught me a lot about the game but Purple City is mine.' Purple City, also known as Purple City Productions, PCP and the Purple City Bird Gang, is more than a group of Dipset affiliates - it's a full-blown company looking to make major noise in 2005.posted by JohnStudd at Sunday, May 15, 2005.

Road To Riches Game

Purple City has - with little effort - epitomized uptown culture in many ways: their boisterous and grimy rhymes, their grind hard philosophy, and loyalty to their Purple City movement.The uptown trio has set a thunderous buzz throughout New York city with the release of over 10 mixtapes. Sheist Bub, Un Kasa and Agallah are veterans of the mixtape hustle and leaders of Harlem's Purple movement. While Pruple City affiliates, Dipset, are steadily making their mark on mainstream Hip-hop, Purple City have cemented themselves as an underground force to be reckon with. Their video, 'Purple City Byrd Gang,' is in heavy rotation on BET and their upcoming album, Road to the Riches, is sure to turn heads.Purple City sat down with Ballerstatus to talk about their new home at Babygrande Records, the philosophy of the color purple and just how fly the Byrd Gang really is.BallerStatus.net: Y'all been doing your thing for awhile now. How long have you been on the mixtape scene?Sheist Bub: Two and a half years.BallerStatus.net: How did the joint venture with Babygrande Records come about?Sheist Bub: We've put about ten mixtapes in the streets. We wasn't really searchin' for a deal like that, it just came to us.

My man Ruddy (A&R for Babygrande) called me and was like, 'I wanna holla at you,' so that's basically how it went down with Babygrande. They read the article in the Fader magazine, and they had heard the mixtape and felt that something wasn't right with the article. And then when they saw the follow up in the next Fader magazine and I was like, 'Yo, is y'all crazy? We own Purple City. That's our label. That ain't nobody else's label.'

So it just came to us. We put in work; put out wild mixtapes. When they ask us what it was, I was like 'Yo, this is what Purple city is.' BallerStatus.net: So this is Purple City right here? The three of you (Shiest Bub, Un Kasa, Aghallah)?Sheist Bub: As far as musically representing?

Yeah, we are the representatives of the streets. This is us right here.

We the ones who stuck with our movement. The movement is everyone in the streets, but everyone can't stay in tune with that.BallerStatus.net: The Purple movement?Sheist Bub: Yeah, but it's not just that. It's us having a goal, which is to be successful.

That was our goal before we even met each other - to be stars. We met each other in a congregation of potential stars that represent the hood; the 'in crowd' - as far as who's doing it, who's not doing it, what you've done, what you haven't done - because in the hood everything is based upon reputation.BallerStatus.net: Tell us more about what the Purple represents. Why is it Purple and not brown or green?Agallah: Well, purple is the color of royalty. The overall picture is that Purple City is good vibes, good music, good style.Sheist Bub: And we smoke stupid purple.Agallah: We're more like a crew.Sheist Bub: Yeah, we are a crew. It's not Purple City the group.

We're individuals.Agallah: But, anybody else can be Purple city also.Sheist Bub: You are purple city. You like to smoke good purple, you feel our music for what it is, you could be Purple City too. Basically, everyone that's been on our mixtapes is a part of our family. Even to the famous names you see up there, they somehow connected to us.BallerStatus.net: I know y'all affiliated with Dipset.

Are y'all from the same hood or roll in the same circle.?Sheist Bub: What it is, is I'm from the West Side of Manhattan. Purple City was build to represent the West Side of Manhattan, not necessarily Harlem. I'm from Harlem, but the West Side of Harlem; I'm from Broadway; Washington Heights is where I'm from. And the purple being that you can get purple haze on any block uptown. The Diplomats came to us; they came to Purple City.

Nah' mean?BallerStatus.net: How is the transition from mixtape to album?Agallah: Our mixtapes were like albums.Sheist Bub: All the mixtapes we put out were albums. They were street albums. The transition is nothing for us.

That's why we puttin' out the Best of the Mixtapes first. We not tryin' to straight come out, Purple City droppin' the album. It's the mixtape album, so you can understand that we not sayin' we the best niggas out yet. But our mixtape on the street grimy level, this is what the album is.Agallah: We also got some projects coming up: Un Kasa album, Aghallah album.Sheist Bub: Trying to get into the industry is crazy man.

If you come to label by yourself - with nobody bringing you there with your album - they gonna tell you, 'Oh, you got a nice album but you need five features though.' You need five featured artists; the dude from around your block that got a little video he doesn't count.

You gotta have somebody that's credible - somebody that has sold records - and when we take this to retail, we can put those names on there and they'll say, 'Yeah, we'll buy that because we can identify with those names.' With Purple City, we set it up so that the buzz is centered around us three.

Purple City ain't really about who we affiliated with - even though that's always the number one question; 'Who you affiliated with?' Everyone knows who we affiliated with, Dipset. But at the end of the day we from Harlem, we getting our own bread.BallerStatus.net: Right you're your own man.Sheist Bub: Exactly! We not sons; we leaders, man.BallerStatus.net: Would you define yourselves as rappers doing the hustle or hustlers doing the rapping?Sheist Bub: I'm a hustler doing the rapping. Un Kasa and Aghallah are rappers hustling the rap. We have something for everyone.

Un Kasa's a rapper, that's what he does, he raps. He is vibrance and creativity. People forget that talent right there.

They forget what that really means. That sh-t holds a lot. Ag, he does beats and he's a rapper also. Me, I don't do either; I don't do none of that.

I have a creative edge and an organizational edge. That's what I know how to do; I know how to organize and exhibit. I know how to keep it sellable. See how we got the buzz? That's what I know how to do.BallerStatus.net: I heard about a concept album that was supposed to happen in Europe. Could you shed some light on that?Sheist Bub: That was basically some dudes from France; we have a huge fan base in France.

They wanted to be a part of Purple City; they wanted to feel what we feel because it's natural for us. It's not something we're acting out. We not portraying to be hard or nothing. Aghallah is hard, but that's just him. Me, I'm just me. Un, is just him; he's quiet, but when he's in the booth he's loud. It's just our personalities.BallerStatus.net: When is the album through Babygrande dropping?Agallah: The album Road to the Riches is dropping March 22nd.

Purple City is more an attitude created and cultivated by rapper/producer/entrepreneur Shiest Bub than any particular location (although it does embody the spirit of the Harlem and Washington Heights sections of New York City where it originated). As he rose in the hip-hop mixtape world, Shiest Bub routinely adorned himself in purple, producing an indelible image as he joined up with Agallah and Un Kasa, and aligned with the powerful Diplomats crew to become one of the strongest East Coast mixtape producers. ROAD TO THE RICHES, a title recalling the like-minded seminal 1989 hit by Kool G. Rap, brings Purple City's underground world out into the daylight, collecting the strongest tracks from the group's numerous mixtapes for its official debut. The result is anything but patched together, as the tracks blend almost supernaturally for a hazily enjoyable record. The Purple City sound combines a 1990s bass-heavy, stripped-down vibe with an odd pop sensibility for a sinister and strange aesthetic. On tracks like 'Winning' and 'Purple City Byrdgang,' the raps are laid down hard, yet somehow drift above the unearthly melodies for a unique listening experience.

With its inventive 21 tracks, ROAD TO THE RICHES is a strong coming-out party for the Purple City set.
