Breaking out in 2014 off his 8th mixtape  Black Rose , this resulted in the man signing a joint deal with Def Jam Recordings & even  Nas ’ independently owned  Mass Appeal Records as well as a spot in the iconic 2016 XXL Freshman Class. However, his full-length debut  Survival  wouldn’t come out until 3 years later & was very disappointing in the sense that he tried appealing to a more mainstream audience that just didn’t exist. The sophomore effort  Hoffa  proved to be better as did his final Def Jam offering  Fortune Favors the Bold  &  APT 6E  produced by  Mike & Keys  marked a return to his independent roots, coming off the araabMUZIK -produced  Living Proof  so he can break down the  Price of Pain . “Papaya Juice” opens up with this soulful intro talking about not wanting to ...
