DJ Kay Slay announced that his artist and protégé Papoose has been released from his contract with Jive Records during his Streetsweeper’s Radio show on Sirius Satellite Radio last night. Slay called the one-year term that Pap was signed to the label “a year of hell” and expressed his distaste for the A&R of the company. The Brooklyn MC’s contract with Jive was reported to be worth $1.5 million.
