Early life
The City Paper grew up on the north and west side of Nashville, Tennessee. While in high school, Tha City Paper enjoyed basketball before joining the hip-hop scene.[1]
Music career
Solo career
Around 1996–1997 while in high school, Paper was dating the cousin of a rapper named Pistol. He also knew Pistol's cousins, who were a part of a group called "PJN", which Pistol created. The City Paper began to frequently listen in on the group PJN recording sessions, which sparked his interest in rap. He later became a part of that group. Over time, he featured on plenty of Pistol's tracks, and gradually gained success. He has written several songs, including "City Paper (dope boy swagg)", and "Lil Bo Tuff" which were off his independent album Paper View.[1] In 2011, he dropped a mixtape entitled DOPaminE which was hosted by DJ Scream.[2]
Cashville Records
After Young Buck heard Tha City Paper's mixtape DOPaminE he was quick to sign him to Ca$hville Records in early 2012. In the summer of 2012, Buck and Paper worked together on a collaboration mixtape entitled G.a.S - Gangsta and Street. This was the first project Paper released through Ca$hville Records.[3]
