You can’t miss it if you never had it or [had] never seen it before. I didn’t know that there was anything more than that until I saw it and then on and on and on and your mind and horizon expand until you realise, ‘Wow, how did I live in that place of darkness?’” Over time, Potter has come to terms with how much weight and influence artists from the hood have, leading him to be more conscious of the content of his material. “I’ve got more of a responsibility for the things that I put out in the public domain, you know what I’m saying.” “People are listening to me for hope, inspiration.” (Photo: Francisco Gomez De Villaboa) This gift in evoking emotion, he says, is rooted in a desire to platform his experience by “giving myself a voice”.

This is different from every other project because I put myself in shoes that I had thought I took off a long time ago – the smelly, old ones.”
Further success came with his follow-up mixtape Thanks for Waiting, which dropped in October 2021.

What did you learn from that creative experience?Reflecting on his peers and the state of the rap industry, he adds: “You can’t compare me to certain rappers if you know about my catalogue and the work that I’ve put in. I signed to a label last year but for the past 12 years, I’ve been funding my career by myself.” At 31, his career continues to flourish. His recent single ‘Gangsteritus’— capturing the emotional moment his late and beloved grandmother kissed him as he awaited sentencing — recently featured in the hit Netflix series Top Boy. When Potter was growing up, he started to see the urban deterioration of his community in Barking. Now the place where he was raised has drastically changed. Gentrification has swept through working-class areas in a process that saw his mother forced to move. Working with other artists I have learned that the more times you work with them, the better the outcome is going to be. That project was the first time working with a lot of those guys. It was the first time I shared my process with people who weren’t around before the music. Now, I have learned that there is no such thing as me jumping on someone else’s song, it becomes a collaborative thing that we experience and work on together. We speak, catch a vibe, and we don’t compete, we just enjoy the process and enjoy the music. Andra (26 February 2023). "Potter Payper gives visual treatment to introspective single "Multifaceted" ".

As opposed to like literally any project I’ve ever done is like this is obviously coming from a different time and space in my life. But very, my music is always reflective of my life or my day-to-day life. This is different from every other project because I put myself in shoes that I had thought I took off a long time ago – the smelly, old ones.The sincere yet elegiac talent that comes through in all of his songs is evidently a product of his personality today. On arrival at his photoshoot in a studio in Walthamstow, east London, Potter’s contagious, energetic banter rubs off on us all. While he is being snapped, he playfully rubs his feet in circles on the ground, creating sounds that spark laughter from everyone in the room. Although his time behind bars has undoubtedly influenced his work, the rapper’s storytelling of street politics and the detailed accounts of personal experiences in his music are impossible to mimic. It’s this ability to melodically paint vividly clear images with his words that sets Potter apart from his rap peers. A stint behind bars helped shape Payper.
