Before that brief period around 2005ish when Papoose was rolling with Kay Slay and Jive Records and looking like the next big thing, he was down with Kool G Rap. This freestyle is taken from an edition of New York Live on the Radio 1 Rap Show around the time G Rap's Roots Of Evil was due to drop. The full show is below, featuring A+ in part one, and Marley Marl hosting The Roots and G Rap in part two

"I came across this mix today. It's a live recording from me and Rich Medina's old party The Remedy back from 1998. This snippet is recorded live from the club with DJ Jazzy Jeff on the wheels with Black Thought, Common, Rehani and more spitting freestyles over "Love Rap" and "Mardi Gras." It's kind of the hottest schitt you never heard before (this is the first time it's ever being put out there.) But yeah, this is how we used to get down." - Cosmo Baker
