As always, Papoose recognizes the souls we tragically lost this year on his annual obituary. His album Nacirema Dream finally drops March 5. R.I.P.: Jimmy Castor l Etta James l Whitney Houston l Dick Clark l Adam “MCA” Yauch l Chuck Brown l Donna Summer l Lil Phat l Rodney King l KMG l Ms. Melodie l Aaron Michael Cox l Sherman Hemsley l Natina Reed l Major Harris l Capital STEEZ and more.
Pap returned to Shade 45 to plug his long-awaited The Nacirema Dream. At the 2:00 mark, he then decides to crack the mic. The album finally arrives March 5.
Niggaz done started something. Papoose broke bread with Hot 97’s morning drive and questioned the lack of local airplay. In a nutshell, Pap echoed my sentiments over the last few days. Afterward he spoke on his relationship with wife, Remy Ma.
Seems like Papoose’s The Nacirema Dream has been in the works forever. But come March 5, we will finally see its arrival. Here’s its latest single featuring Mavado. Cop on iTunes here. bottomfeeder
For the second release from his upcoming project, The Drama King brings together Kendrick and Papoose to display some real lyricism. Slay is 2 for 2 so far. Grown Man Hip-Hop drops later tonight. dopestateofmind
Is that Coogi? Pap stopped by Sway’s morning show recently and did a few laps over DJ Wonder’s “5 Fingers Of Death”. Looks like Sway was really into it, no? After the jump, Pap discusses how he stays focused on his relationship with Remy Ma despite her being incarcerated and more.
Pap’s album may never see the light of day. But for one of his recent tracks, he adds D-Block and the game’s most requested feature into the mix. flex
The self-proclaimed king of New York makes his rounds in his new video. If it isn’t to your liking, stick around as old man Pap previews his “Alphabetical Slaughter Pt. 2.”
Like he always does around this time, Pap pays his respects to some of last year’s fallen soldiers from Nate the Great to the Overweight Lover. Gone but certainly never forgotten. R.I.P. Slim Dunkin l Heavy D l Joe Frazier l Steve Jobs l Sylvia Robinson l Nick Ashford l Amy Winehouse l Gil Scott-Heron l Macho Man Randy Savage l Nate Dogg and more.
The self-proclaimed King Of New York takes it pool side with more than enough badonkadonks in his latest video. Looks more jumping than it sounds. If you haven’t got the mixtape yet, get it
Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
