Payper Corleone Sets Himself Apart With Biting Cover Of Roddy Rich’s ‘The Box’

It’s cover season in Nigeria especially with Mayorkun’s Geng taking over the media with various renditions of the hit single. However, in the nonconformist westernized scene, artists are looking to plug themselves into the American mainstream with more brazen covers.

Leading this pack this month is underdog, Payper Corleone who opts for American rapper, Roddy Rich’s, chart-topping The Box to flex his lyrical weight over.

In showing off his critique-proof skills, Payper Corleone dispenses his upper-class qualities over the biting but engaging instrumental that is now world-famous. While he keeps Roddy Rich’s famous chorus, Payper manages to dazzle on a single verse in sync with the midtempo instrumental and is solid enough to highlight his lyrical excellence and unique flow in under two minutes.
