N.O.R.E. now known as P.A.P.I. recently announced a new album, Student of the Game, and followed up with the single "Fowl Niggaz" the other day.
The LP will be his first project under the moniker P.A.P.I., which he previously explained, "Sometimes if you're lost, the best way to find where you're at is to go to the beginning. My mother doesn't even call me Victor, my father has never called me Victor, my teachers didn't even call me Victor... My name in Lefrak City and my name in Queens is actually P.A.P.I., it's not even N.O.R.E."
With the name change comes something "totally different for the album," P.A.P.I. says. Student of the Game is slated for release on April 16th.
