He was given the name Papoose by his grandmother because of his childhood resemblance to an American Indian child. Inspired by rap legends Rakim, Kool G Rap and Big Daddy Kane, he has been well respected on the underground hip-hop circuit for a long period of time now.
In early 2006, his StreetSweepers crew linked up with Busta Rhymes' Flipmode Inkprint to co-executive produce Papoose's first official album. On August 24, 2006, his official website officially announced that he signed with Jive Records, a deal which, according to his management's official website was worth $1.5 million.
Papoose has recently become known for engaging in charity work, visiting sick children and donated to causes including the Make-A-Wish Foundation and to various Hurricane Katrina charities.
On September 19, 2007 DJ Kay Slay announced that Papoose and himself have parted ways from Jive records. "We have officially gotten our release from Jive fuckin records. It was like a fuckin year of hell... Unfortunately, we almost became victims of A&R hell." On the radio show slay was asked what was next for Papoose, and he said "You know we can't talk about that man." The future of the Papoose's debut album, The Nacirema Dream, is unknown at this time; however, Papoose and Kay Slay are rumored to own the records that were created under Jive.
Papoose is no longer affiliated with Flipmode Squad.

But writers make you fellow face the…
Man I get to shake you a rap,
I bet you they’ll surrender,
Stop them with…all boots,
You can taste the leather!
Let the…bet you I can …better!
Hey crash, hey…
Master what you won’t remember,

I hit the… and shake the…
You girl…chasing niggers,
Said she need a babysitter.
…make your pictures…
Call me with a straight vendetta,
Your body is…

Man, I’m off the wall like street fighter play with…
Got the nickel play whatever you suburbs claim your feathers.
I’m the clown …
Run a mobile on a track, …shine they reflected,
Cause I’m a wise brave adventurer,
Brooklyn my state projector,
Quit the vibe, ….
Make a …great ….
Ever violate the…other…professors,
…the plot places the question;

With a …stay perfective,
With some high rate investors,
While I’m God’s paper pleasure,
We…take the pleasure.
…
You should try and play for better
like the God makes some…
I’m the fraud they collected,
We define a face of terror,
Bring the helicopters out,
Make them fly their propellers!
Life is like a game of chess!
While you guys are playing checkers
Hasn’t take the smoke of Dutch.
If the cow makes vanilla,
Hustling, bossling, struggling, juggling,…
And his blundering, mumbling, thumbing,…

Death is becoming, your soul is a bubble, is hovering.
Blood on my…, I’m …
I’m humble revenge, I love you!
Your bone could tumble, I’m thunderous,
Since you say you wanna rumble
When the jungle…
Go fucking rumble it!
The first verse of Papoose's song Freestyle is a testament to his skill as a rapper. He opens the verse with the claim that he is the greatest advocate, which means he is confident in his abilities to defend or support something. Papoose uses his words as a weapon and challenges his competition to face him head-on. He is so confident in his abilities that he believes that he can make his opponents surrender. Papoose shows off his lyrical prowess by using wordplay to describe how he can defeat his opponents. He says he can stop them with his 'Bars' like boots, and they can taste the leather.
Papoose also references his ability to leave a lasting impact on the rap game by making his opponents' memories of him unforgettable, like a Lakers member in a lake assembly. He also touches on his appeal with the ladies, describing how he can make your girl stop chasing other men and need a babysitter. Papoose then goes to paint a picture of his ferocity; he's off the wall like Street Fighter, ready to take on anyone. He is cunning and wise, projecting the state of Brooklyn, and is a brave adventurer. Papoose is not only a master of words but also has the ability to make wise decisions. He goes on to use imagery to help the listener understand his ability to cause chaos in the game.
In the second verse of the song, Papoose continues to showcase his street-smart mentality. He compares himself to the game of chess, which requires strategy and intelligence, while his competition is playing checkers, which is considered a simpler game. Papoose continues with his hard-hitting lyrics and metaphors, referencing chewing tobacco (Dutch) and hustling, struggling, juggling, and blundering. He uses alliteration effectively to emphasize his point that the game is tough as a puzzle that's puzzling.
Papoose then talks about pushing his competition outside their comfort zone, delivering an onslaught of verses that will leave his opponents stuck in their bubble. He describes his experience and ability to catch people off guard and attack them quickly, leaving his opponents in awe. Papoose is like thunder, striking his opponents with great force, and with a fierce determination to win.
