Papo2oo4 and Subjxct 5: “Theft”
I’ll say it once more: Jersey producer Subjxct 5 is on a heater like Giancarlo Stanton. Examine the beats on Mr. 3000, his latest joint tape with husky-voiced MC Papo2oo4: They’re referential (he in all probability might have been in Terror Squad) and futuristic on the similar time. And no one flows over his twitchy East Coast bounce like Papo, who at all times seems like he’s on a The Come Up DVD freestyling on a park bench in his winter coat. “Can’t give false actuality, put together for the worst/’04 Purple Sox, ballin’ out, fuck a curse,” he raps in his second verse of “Theft” that had me doing the Funk Flex stank face. Over Subjxct’s anxious instrumental—laser beams, ringing telephones, and 808s like Godzilla’s footsteps—Papo seems like he’s barring out by way of the apocalypse.
With artists releasing songs at a quick and livid tempo, it’s troublesome for the common hip-hop head to maintain monitor of all of it—irrespective of how tapped in they’re. That’s why we created The Ones, a day by day publish to spotlight the track it’s worthwhile to hear.
