INTRODUCING POTTER PAYPER:
UK RAPPER DROPS NEW FREESTYLE “TOPSHOTTAS”
& CONFIRMS SIGNING TO 0207 DEF JAM
Today, British MC Potter Payper makes his 0207 Def Jam debut with a brand new freestyle ‘Topshottas’. Produced by London-based producer Chucks, the release showcases Potter’s lyrical dexterity and unorthodox flow, further cementing his top-tier position within UK Rap.
The accompanying visual opens with Payper donning a black bomber jacket emblazoned with 0207 Def Jam’s logo across it, confirming his recent signing to the British frontline label.
Detailing vivid accounts of street politics and experiences in his lyrics, Potter began his musical journey in 2013 when he released his debut mixtape ‘Training Day’. Soon after, he gained traction with a series of freestyles, which have accumulated over 25m+ views to date. Potter continued to show his versatility and consistency and in 2016 he unveiled ‘Training Day 2’, which was soon followed by features with the likes of Giggs, Stormzy and Young Adz. Following a short hiatus, Potter returned in 2020 with ‘Training Day 3’ -the final installment to his trilogy. The mixtape charted at #3 in the UK chart, his highest charting position and to date has accumulated over 68 million combined streams.
Later this year, Potter will return to the live circuit with a highly-anticipated 5-date UK tour which will see him journey across Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool, concluding in his hometown of London.
Having put in years of work, Potter is no overnight success and ‘Topshottas’ is another statement of his unique talent; this freestyle further solidifies him as one of the most important emerging voices within the UK Rap scene.
