  • Here is a half-hour+ interview/broadcast segment, of which he was the subject, on notable national UK radio network BBC Radio 1Xtra. (Yep, that show also includes stuff on Jim Jones and a whole load of other music; but Papoose's section is the final half-hour.)
  • He was on the cover of pioneering UK hip-hop magazine Hip-Hop Connection's October, 2006 issue (dual cover in two editions, shared with Saigon), with accompanying 6-page spread inside. Scans available on request.
  • Here are the nominations for the 2008 Awards, in which you can see he has once again been nominated, this time in the category of "Best East Coast Mixtape Artist".
  • Here he is again in XXL, this time the bona fide paper version, on the cover, with a selection of other new talent, under the headline "Leaders of the New School".
  • Here's a list of winners of the 2007 Urban Music Awards, including wins for Papoose in the categories "Best Hip-Hop Act", "Artist of the Year" (as sponsored by MySpace) and "Best Collaboration" for "Touch It" (the latter a shared award... um, obviously).
