If you’re a fan of New York rap from that time period and want to hear some production reminiscent of Dipset or G-Unit, this will take you back to those days. The album is noticeably behind the trends of the hip-hop coming out today, with beats that sound like they were crafted in the mid-2000s. After over seven years of waiting we’re finally getting a chance to listen to the debut album of Papoose. It’s mind-boggling to say this, but it’s true. His fans are anticipating his debut album, but due to the label wanting a more commercial sound, the album is faced with delay after delay until virtually everyone has forgotten about it. Papoose is making waves on the mixtape scene and has netted himself a deal with Jive rumored to be worth one and a half million dollars. In the meantime, Papoose is the latest to resurrect an album thought to be long dead with 2013’s release of The Nacirema Dream. Maybe it’s not so impossible to think that Dr. Saigon released The Greatest Story Never Told, Duke Nuke Forever saw the light of day, and the world kept spinning after December 21, 2012. If the past couple of years have taught us anything, it’s that patience really does pay off.
