[edit] History
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.[citation needed] Purple City began in 2002, 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 Shiest, leading him to create Purple City and begin to put out mixtapes. To date, Purple City has released eight mixtapes, selling an estimated 800,000 copies thus far.[citation needed] 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, independently selling over 100,000 units worldwide.[citation needed]
