Shiest Bubz mit neuem Soloalbum

Purple City CEO Shiest Bubz wird am 28. April 2009 einen neuen Solorelease veröffentlichen. Das Album trägt den Namen „The International Bud Dealer“ (aka The I.B.D.) und wird über Babygrande Records erscheinen. Chuck Wilson, CEO von Babygrande Records lobt seinen Künstler in einem ausführlichen Statement:

„The music business is funny. When Purple City first came on the scene in 2005, a lot of people brushed them aside as an insignificant Dipset spinoff group and then their debut album sold over 65,000 units worldwide. Now, here we are in 2009… Dipset looks to have dissolved and along with Jim JonesByrdgang and Juelz’s Skull Gang, Shiest’s Purple City movement is as relevant as ever in terms of New York street rap. A lot of people are going to be surprised by the quality of the music on this new album. It also does not hurt that Shiest probably has the most entertaining overall persona in all of New York hip-hop right now… if Cheech and Chong ever wanted to be a rapper, they would definitely want to be Shiest Bubz.“
