Purple City's core members, Shiest Bub, Un Kasa & Agallah "The Don Bishop",have released over ten mixtapes which have established a bona fide, worldwide, cult-following.
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. I'll always be a Diplomat and Cam'ron also taught me a lot about the game but Purple City is mine,' says Shiest Bub, Purple City Entertainment's CEO.
Purple City, (also known as 'Purple City Productions', 'PCP' and 'The Purple City Bird Gang') is also infamously known for flashy, trend-setting fashion statements. 'It all started on my block (158th & Broadway) I was doin my Purple Piff thing and of course always doin my flashy fashion thing and everybody was trying to get that Purple Piff. So I started Purple City Productions and putting out mixtapes on the streets. And then the Purple City movement spread to the whole Washington Heights and Dyckman areas of Harlem, then all of New York City and then around the world. I been rockin Purple. That's what I'm known for. New York is the mecca of fashion so of course anything we do is gonna be followed. It's more than just a color though. It's a state of mind its vibrant, its freedom and royalty', says Shiest Bub.
Babygrande and Purple City will release three albums in 2005. The video for Purple City's first single, 'Purple City Bird Gang' featuring Jim Jones is currently airing on BET.
Ruddy Rock, who Executive Produced Jean Grae's last two releases, will A&R the joint-venture on behalf of Babygrande. Purple City is also participating in an international concept album entitled 'Paris to Purple City' which will feature collaborations with some of the top up-and-coming artists and producers from Paris, France.
'Purple City and the entire Dipset movement, have firmly established a new independent and very commercial genre of hip-hop music. The Grand Canyon that used to exist between major labels and independents has been reduced to a mere crack in the sidewalk. Independent hip-hop, as recently as a year ago, had the perception of being only for back-packer, underground music. With Jim Jones selling over 150,000 copies and the Diplomats selling over 50,000 in the first week, this perception has been shattered and the Purple City Bird Gang is next,' says Babygrande's CEO, Chuck Wilson.
Wilson, who co-wrote 'Soul Plane' for MGM, is currently working with the Creative Artists Agency in Hollywood to develop a Purple City feature film and video game.

As an Australian I had never realised it wasn’t normal to hunt to substitute yarn! But I guess it checks out 😂😂
Loved hearing about your knitting journey 🙂
Oliphant Kat Knits
Haha yes isn't the thought of it weird?! I was in the yarn store in San Francisco and I was like, wait what, I can just buy this yarn ?! 😝Glad you liked the video!
Emily Miller
I would love to see those fingerless mitts as a pattern! So cute.
Oliphant Kat Knits
Oh, thanks Emily! I'll have to dig my notes out - it's been years since I actually looked at the pattern. Hopefully I can make sense of them enough to write it up!
Lea K
I love seeing your knits and hearing the stories behind them ❤️❤️❤️
Oliphant Kat Knits
Thanks Lea!! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Rena Ryumae
So many pretty pieces! You were the one who got me really into knitting, though I had dabbled previously, so it was fun to hear you walking through your early journey since that's where I'm still at now! 🙂
Oliphant Kat Knits
Awww thanks Rena, although I can’t really take much credit, you were always way better at crochet than me 😝. Looking forward to seeing more of your knits!
Lovely by Lee
The colors of your brioche cowl are stunning! Wow! I loved seeing your first knits and can't wait for part 2!
Oliphant Kat Knits
Aren't they just?! I owe my sister for picking those ones out - I was going to do a blue/purple combo and she talked me in to trying something different for a change. I'll have part 2 up in a week or two!
