Jim Jones, Purple City, Babygrande Records and Koch Records are proud
to announce the early 2006 slated release of JIM JONES PRESENTS…
PURPLE CITY: BORN TO THE PURPLE.
Having successfully debuted earlier this year with "Road To The
Riches: The Best of the Purple City Mixtapes," Purple City’s core
constituents of Shiest Bub “The Emperor,” Un Kasa & Agallah “The Don
Bishop” are on the brink of mainstream notoriety.
"Born To The Purple" will be the first official release from Purple
City featuring all new material. With the support of Jim Jones and his
recent #5 debut on Billboard Magazine’s Top 200 chart, Purple City
will be in a unique position to further solidify their burgeoning
profile.
While Purple City is currently touring the country with Jim Jones, the
purple movement continues with the Limited Edition November 8th
release of Paris to Purple City, an unprecedented international
collaboration album pairing Purple City with ten of the hottest up and
coming emcees from France. Paris to Purple City also includes special
guest appearances from Dipset’s Jim Jones and Hell Rell.
A truly collaborative affair from inception through execution, ten
French emcees traveled to New York for three weeks to record with
Purple City and Dipset. With Purple City’s renowned Agallah “The Don
Bishop” supplying production for the entire album, the album is novel
and stylistically fresh, featuring alternating verses in both English
and French. Paris to Purple City is a true testament to the extensive
and globally penetrating influence of hip-hop music and culture.
