Early life

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. ..... In 2011, he dropped a mixtape entitled DOPaminE which was hosted by DJ Scream.

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.
