Potter Payper releases ‘Thanks for Waiting: The Documentary’. The 30-year-old from Barking and Dagenham announced on Tuesday night the release of his documentary in the Instagram caption announcing the release the rapper claimed it would be “The story behind the mixtape”.
The documentary shares the same title as the mixtape that Potter released on the 1st of October, Thanks for Waiting. The mixtape is the 3rd project that the Potter has released since his release from prison in June 2020. 2020 vision was the first project he released days after he announced that he was a free man which was then followed by Training day 3, a project that marked the end of Potter’s mixtape trilogy and was his highest-charting release reaching number 3 in the official charts.
‘Thanks for Waiting: the Documentary’ stars a number of UK rap superstars and features from Potter’s project including Unknown T, M Huncho, KO, Rimzee, Suspect and NSG. The documentary looks at the creative journey behind the project, a project that already had a story behind it with Potter sharing a phone call he made while in jail explaining the vision he had once released from Prison and included a feature-heavy project that would help him learn how to navigate different sounds.
In an interview on Capital Xtra with host Rob Bruce, Potter spoke on the idea he had behind the feature-heavy tape saying that “After training day 3 I wanted to make a feature heavy tape, from that feature heavy tape I want to try and make people comfortable hearing me on the popular sound”
The 18 track project contain 12 features and varies from the trap sound that artists such as M Huncho and Billy billions champion, afrobeat which NSG brought to the project, with Potter who is half Algerian sharing in the documentary that creating the song and changing his sound helped him feel closer to his Algerian side. Potter also appeased the fans who listen to him for his raw and authentic raps, with tracks such as “Johnny on the spot” and “Gangsteritus”.
The Essex rapper signed with 0207 Defjam, the UK branch of American major label Defjam, in May this year, following the success of his Training day 3 and signed to the major label alongside fellow UK rap giant Stormzy.
