Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview... newly popular local Atlanta rapper. His lyrics aren’t that deep (“Paper Boi/Paper Boi/All about that paper, boy”) but they resonate with people all over the city. And now that his cousin Earn’s managing him, he’s getting his song on the radio and appearing on TV. But making it big might not be as easy after he’s involved in shootings outside a gas station and a nightclub.
Personality... smart, self-aware, and short-tempered. Paper Boi knows how to brand himself and that he “scares people at ATMs” but he gets into ill-advised fights with everyone from Justin Bieber to a random guy who breaks his car mirror. His fans love it though – as far as they’re concerned, no one represents the real Atlanta better than Paper Boi.
