The bidding war is finally over for the hottest unsigned rapper in hip-hop. Papoose recently signed a $1.5 million deal with Jive Records through DJ Kayslay’s Streetsweepers Entertainment. DJ Kayslay told HipHopGame that signing the deal “felt like a lot of hard work finally paying off despite the hate and the state of the game right now where New York artists aren’t getting deals like this. Barry Weis and Peter Thea saw the vision that myself, Chris Lighty, Busta Rhymes and Papoose had and made it a reality.”
Kayslay also told HipHopGame that Pap would be dropping a street single in the next couple of weeks before the actual single for his debut album The Nacirema Dream, which is 90% completed. Kayslay told us the album is “expected to hit the world in a few months.” Busta Rhymes is Kayslay’s partner in the situation and the two are currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on what Kayslay calls an “about to make history debut.”

In the meantime Papoose is finishing up his sixteenth mixtape titled Second Place is the First Loser. The mixtape is scheduled to drop in two weeks.

Other that were a part of the Papoose bidding war include Craig Kalman at Atlantic, Nas through Def Jam, Jimmy Iovine at Interscope and Lyor Cohen at Warner.
