Papo2oo4 and Subjxct 5: âRobberyâ
Iâll say it again: Jersey producer Subjxct 5 is on a heater like Giancarlo Stanton. Check the beats on Mr. 3000, his newest joint tape with husky-voiced MC Papo2oo4: Theyâre referential (he probably could have been in Terror Squad) and futuristic at the same time. And nobody flows over his twitchy East Coast bounce like Papo, who always sounds like heâs on a The Come Up DVD freestyling on a park bench in his winter coat. âCanât give false reality, prepare for the worst/â04 Red Sox, ballinâ out, fuck a curse,â he raps in his second verse of âRobberyâ that had me doing the Funk Flex stank face. Over Subjxctâs anxious instrumentalâlaser beams, ringing phones, and 808s like Godzillaâs footstepsâPapo sounds like heâs barring out through the apocalypse.
With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace, itâs difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it allâno matter how tapped in they are. Thatâs why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear.
