![]() ![]() Kay Slay was impressed, and not only did he start placing Papoose on his Streetsweeper mixtape series, but he essentially founded the Street Sweepers Entertainment imprint to help gear up the unsigned artist to be New York’s next legendary MC. During this wildly productive time, he approached New York radio DJ Kay Slay several times on the street, aggressively promoting his music. From there, Papoose went full bore into releasing his music in the form of independently pressed and distributed mixtapes, and would release nearly a dozen collections of his high-energy songs between 20 alone. The appearance brought interest from labels, but the promises of record deals never fully materialized. His first appearance on a major release would be a feature on the track “Home Sweet Funeral Home” on Kool G Rap’s 1998 album Roots of Evil. Papoose was born Shamele Mackie and raised in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn.
