Album Drop - @DeezyDaPaperboy is "The Midwest Miracle".

Creating timeless music, putting on amazing live shows, and providing a platform for other artists to shine are only part of what makes Deezy Da Paperboy  "The Midwest Miracle." Making the transition from full time recording artist to executive is a move not everyone is equipped for. Deezy not only made the move, but has excelled in his new position. Da Paperboy has become a known commodity in the world of Midwest Hip Hop with his brand of high energy, potent rhymes and his affinity for banging beats. His latest release The Midwest Miracle serves as a reminder that even in his new position as a label head, music is the number 1 priority. Keeping it short and sweet with only 5 tracks, the energy remains high with singles like "Trap" and "Blessed Up". "Quick Notes" serves as a road map through the thought process of the talented emcee and "Light The Sky" featuring Alexa Redd showcases both his songwriting ability and the talent that brought Alexa into the Paperboy Entertainment fold. With plans to tour in the first quarter of 2019 and new singles and releases planned for the rest of 2019 it's only a matter of time before one the Midwest's best delivers yet another miracle. 

The Midwest Miracle is now available on all major digital retailers.

Deezy Da Paperboy has established himself as one of Illinois premier artists. After hitting stages across the Midwest, he shifted the focus on his latest single to help the embattled Bobby Shmurda on "Free Shmurda". Blazing bars from the time the video starts, Deezy torches his local contemporaries while also dropping the jewel "FREE Shmurda/Niggas ain't up on the clout/I'ma have to bond em out/Give his ass a zip , 2 phones and a burner". Looks like "Mr. Win Em All" is ready to take his winning ways all the way to Rikers to free the homie.

Audio Drop - @DeezyDaPaperboy aims to refresh on "Lemonade".

One of the Midwest's top underground rappers, Deezy Da Paperboy serves his brand new single "Lemonade" ice cold with a side of animosity. The Illinois resident aptly nicknamed, "Mr. Win 'Em All", for his extensive catalog of hit singles, and long list of victories in various showcases and performance competitions across the country, still doesn't feel he gets the respect he deserves. With a brand new attitude in 2017, the fiery emcee decided that waiting was no longer an option and turning life's lemons into lemonade with a few extra shots was the only way to make his mark in the rap game.

@DeezyDaPaperboy and @JayyWills deliver "Hooks and Verses".

Two of the Midwest's most promising independent artists come together for a game changing collaboration project. CEO of Paperboy Entertainment and award winning recording artist, Deezy Da Paperboy and frequent collaborator, singer/songwriter/founder of Jayy Wills Entertainment, Jayy Wills deliver "Hooks and Verses".

The E.P. is labeled as a Hip Hop/R&B project, yet features elements of both Soul and Pop throughout the 6 song release.                     Illinois veteran rapper, Meezy Killafield makes a memorable appearance on "We Do" , and Alexa Redd lends the ultimate vocal assist on "What Do You Say".

Delving into deep subject matter like the state of race relations in the U.S., the disparity of wealth distribution, as well as taking on the emotional side of sexual relationships, and the feeling of finally realizing one's full potential Deezy and Jayy accomplish all of this while creating a sound that is not only easily digestable but actually very appealing to the ear.

While the project can be streamed in it's entirety on soundcloud, downloadable digital copies are also available for purchase on all of your favorite online retailers just in time for the holiday season.
