The longtime Dipset affiliate, CEO of Purple City, connoisseur of piff, and Harlem hero Shiest Bubz is back on the map. Since Purple City's last release in 2007, Jim Jones Presents: The Purple Album, Shiest has quietly refined his flow, his sound and reconfigured the core members of the Purple City movement. Now he returns with The International Bud Dealer (a/k/a The I.B.D.) which is really Shiest's effort to make himself the most important solo artist in the Purple City movement.
