East London rapper Potter Payper has announced that he will be releasing a new mixtape, entitled ‘Thanks For Hating’, later this month. This project is Payper’s first full-length release since 2023’s ‘Real Back in Style’, which made UK chart history as the highest-charting UK rap album with no features, peaking at number two. The new mixtape is a reflection of Potter’s environment and his past life as a drug dealer. Fans can already listen to his two new singles, ‘Trench P (London City)’ and ‘Sinaloa Cartel’. According to a press release, the mixtape is a testament to Potter’s dedication to music over the last decade. It is his way of surpassing expectations and cementing his position in the music industry, proving that he will stand the test of time.
