JumpinJack AJ Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I've heard a handful of trax with him...and i like what i hear. I'll definitly be following him. The only thing that occasionally annoys me is his voice. I thought he already had a record deal tho.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turntable Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) thought he already had a record deal tho.' I thought so too. His voice kinda reminds of Mobb Deep`s Prodigy. This is good news tho. I think he has potencial. I like some of those upcoming New Yorkers. Papoose, Maino, Hell Rell, J.R. Writer.

ash trey Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Papoose has mad punch lines but his mixtapes have too many fillers and very few solid tracks so I'm looking forward to hearing a polished album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
