The year was 1992 when a young rapper named Paperboy came up in the rap game and made a name for himself with a catchy hit called "Ditty". The song did its job and crossed over to the pop charts and earned him mainstream success. In 1993 he released the album "The Nine Yards" which contained 10 tracks, including the double platinum certified single "Ditty". Rhythm D produced the album which was certified gold the same year. But once the buzz died down, it got a little quiet around Paperboy and it seemed like he was unable to follow-up with a second hit. The Grammy nominated artist released two additional albums on a smaller scale, "City to City" in 1996 and "The Love Never Dies" in 2004.
In 2007, 3 years later, a more seasoned Paperboy is still active in the rap game. He’s scheduled to mark his return early next year with a new album entitled "Read All About It". Fans can expect the catchy hooks and party grooves that put him on the map, but can also look forward to sounds of the street and urban living as well. The album has production and/or appearances from King Tee, Kokane, MJG, Jazzy Pha, and of course Rhytmn D.
In usual Dubcnn manner, we have some exclusive tracks available for download. First off we’re bringing you his latest single which is a Los Angeles anthem called "I Love L.A." produced by King Tee. Next up we have another cut from the new album called "Rollin’", followed by a bonus track from the "The Love Never Dies" album called "They On Me".
