Paperboyz

Before we get started, NO you haven’t heard this story before. Paperboyz are not bred from the stereotypical cookie cutter factory. NO, this is not a bio about another group “trying” to get on. Since establishing PB DOLLA LLC and trademarking their name Paperboyz, Mike-Charles and Fatal aka Fatal Attraction have set out to become an international household name. Based on the internet numbers on HYPERLINK "http://www.myspace.com/paperboyzonline" www.myspace.com/paperboyzonline and the recently launched HYPERLINK "http://www.paperboyz.tv" www.paperboyz.tv the R&B and Hip Hop duo are doing just that. Taking advantage of the new digital wave Paperboyz have placed songs on major mobile carriers such as Jamster (XL10 to 755 55), Sprint and AT&T. One of the reasons Paperboyz are such a commodity online is that the 8 year process from street grind till now is documented and the people are eating up the content.

Mike-Charles & Fatal formed an unlikely alliance in today’s music industry. This association can certainly be attributed to “destiny”. The crooner of the duo, Mike, was raised in a Gospel singing household and began humming melodies at the age of seven months old. He continued honing his vocal skills in preparation for his encounter with stardom. Although influenced by both the streets and music, Fatal, the rapper of the duo, was introduced, at a young age, to the hip/hop genre by his older brother. Ironically, Mike and Fatal had never crossed paths but knew of each other through hearsay. “You look just like this kid I know”, was a line each heard of the other. Finally, a chance moment at a studio caused the two to bump into each other. Shortly thereafter, they hooked up and recorded their first record, “Jump Off”; the two became inseparable. The duo then took to the streets selling their debut album - “Young Classics”. The album instantly granted them a great deal of credibility and respect. They sold an astounding 1,500 copies - IN ONE DAY! “We were out in the streets hustling CD’s. If you bought a “Young Classics” CD, then you got it from us”. The ‘Boyz were out grinding face to face with every consumer, pushing a “new brand” of music – PAPER MUSIC.

Hearing the name “Paperboy”, the first thing that comes to mind is a person who gets money. But the ‘Boyz have their own twist of the word, “A Paperboy is a person who handles their bizz, whether financially or contractually; he takes care of his responsibilities, basically ‘being bout ya paper’”. The ‘Boyz have a wide range of experience performing at shows with such names Nas, 50 Cent, Slim and Rick Ross, and Lyfe just to name a few. The Boyz have an innate ability to rock any crowd from the most hardcore hip/hop to the classy laid back R&B. PAPERBOYZ have traveled and toured different parts of the world including Europe and most recently Africa. As a result, this experience enabled them to unleash another dimension of their music as the overseas Hip/Hop and R&B consumers crave high energy, up-tempo music and, of course, PAPERBOYZ delivered. This versatility has become a hallmark for them. To supplement their creative writing styles, they have been working with producers such as Tha Movement (Mase, Brandy, Lloyd, 50 Cent & Olivia), Ryan Leslie (New Edition, Loon, Beyonce, Brittany Spears) and Jason Wade (Raphael Saddiq, Toni, Tone, Tony). PAPERBOYZ “deliver” a new brand of music that fuses Hip Hop and R&B, and the end result is magical.
