"AURA GOD"
WRITTEN BY JAMIL LENZE'
For the past 16 years T. Parsons has been smoking, flexing, creating and stretching, His colorful brand of music, art, and fashion from NYC to Southern California and Consumers just can not seem to get enough "FLAVA" from the one time front man of Harlem Diplomat off shoot "Purple City Byrd Gang" I mean, sheesh how many titles can one man wear? Let's count....,He's sold us clothes thru his Marc Ekco endorsed "Smokers Club" novelty line which features everything from T-shirts and hats to the extremely popular cannabis culture themed "Huff Socks" worn by official stoners like Wiz Khalifah, Currency, and smoke DZA. He sold us jewelry by way of a joint venture with Asian company "The Mint", He sold us music with Camron and the Diplomats and YES! he's rolled, smoked, and marketed weed, weed,weed ,along side some of the biggest names in popular and urban entertainment. Which leads me to the million dollar question....How does a man acquire a name like Shiest??? Easy......you hustle for it.
(GULLY TV) Shiest what's going on G?
(Shiest) Everything is great, just leaving the gym. Getting right to it for 2016
(GULLY TV) Before we get started give my readers a brief run down on Shiest Bubz, where are you from? and what exactly is it that you do?
(Shiest) My name is Shiest Bubz. I am a New York City native, Harlem to be precise. I am a music producer, artist, founder of Purple City Ent. I am also a founding member and host of TheSmokerClub.com Besides all that I am a connector.

(GULLY TV) "Purple City" do you mind telling everyone about the origin of purple city, who they were? and have you ever met any of the original purple city or purple top crew?
(Shiest) First off in the late 80's early 90's there was a drug ring from the east side of Harlem called Purple City. They were notorious for their purple cars with purple lights and most of all purple top cracks straight outta Taino moving forward 10 years. A new wave was taking over the city "Purple Haze" being that I was 1 or maybe 2 being black with a drug dominated by Hispanics I stood out. Then I met Jim and realized I needed to be in the music industry. We came up with the name Purple City Ent. being that I had the Purple Haze and the city as my platform, Purple City Ent. was re-born. This time as a legal business with a promising future ahead of it. Yes I did meet with original PC members I was on their Purple City documentary entitled "Hell up in Harlem" I was the only person from the west side of Harlem featured on the east side based content.
(GULLY TV) Whenever your name comes up in my social circles fashion is mentioned not long after, you a "tastemaker" or just a everyday fly guy?
(Shiest) Looking good and being well dressed is basically how I was raised. I am a trendsetter and "tastemaker" no doubt but I enjoy being known as a everyday fly guy also.
(GULLY TV) You launched your own jewelry line you wanna give me an update on the mint pieces?
(Shiest) Funny thing is I did drop a jewelry collection with Japanese based company Mint. The pieces
price from $60-$350. I never thought of it as a jewelry line as opposed to it just being merchandise for my pet brand EveryDazeMyBirthday.com
(GULLY TV) Musically what has Sheist Bub the emperor been up to you still putting projects out?
(Shiest) Currently I'm just wrapping up a special for CNBC entitled American. I'm also hosting The Smokers Club podcast entitled "Weed Bro" lastly but first I'm working on "Purple Forever" a mini movie and soundtrack starring ME! LOL

(GULLY TV) Tell me about this cannabis cult your apart of the smokers club, what's your thing with weed?
(Shiest) I'm 70% Trinidadian so smoking weed for me is an island man ting. I'm not only a cult leader but I'm also a client.
