Editor's review
As it did with jazz, Paris has developed a hip-hop scene that's second only to America's own. It's high time, then, that the two countries mend their political differences to the tune of some tight collaborations. That's exactly what we get on "Paris to Purple City," which sees members of the Dipset crew throw down heavy hard-core rhymes with a squad of French MCs.
Biography
Babygrande Records and Bon Vie Entertainment are proud to announce the release of Paris to Purple City.
An unprecedented international collaboration album, Paris to Purple City features Dipset-affiliated Purple City mainstays Shiest Bub The Emperor, Un Kasa and Agallah The Don Bishop paired with eight of the hottest up and coming emcees from France (a/k/a the Baryo Gang), and includes special appearances from rising Dipset superstar Jim Jones and Hell Rell.
While most would assume that tracks, verses and hooks were emailed across the Atlantic to complete this album, on the contrary, it was a truly collaborative affair from inception through execution.
Eight French MC's traveled to New York for three weeks to engage creatively with Dipset affiliates Purple City and Diplomats Jim Jones and Hell Rell. With Purple City’s renowned Agallah “The Don Bishop” supplying production for the entire album (previous production work includes Busta Rhymes, Sean Price and more), the resulting album is novel and stylistically fresh, featuring alternating verses in both English and French.
French hip-hop is second only to American hip-hop in worldwide popularity. With artists such as MC Solar, Les Nubians, Sian Supa Crew and more recently Booba experiencing notable success in the US, it was only a matter of time before a truly collaborative album would emerge.
Paris to Purple City is a true testament to the extensive and globally penetrating influence of hip-hop music and culture and will be appreciated by listeners around the world.
