Biography
Paper Tiger
Producer | DJ
It is 1996. You are in a rusted-out Corolla with a crossfader apoxied to the dashboard. Killsadie, De La Soul, and Lifter Puller are maxing out the speakers. The window does not go down, no AC. He is singing, and smiling like a motherfucker. Welcome to Paper Tiger’s car.
Paper Tiger is Doomtree’s live DJ, our resident graphic designer, and one of our esteemed producers. Paper grew up with music at home, as the son of Minneapolis rocker Johnny Rey. As a teenager, Paper was friend to P.O.S, Cecil Otter, Mike Mictlan and MK Larada. After high school, the four lived in the now [in]famous Doomtree House—a den of creativity, beer cans, stencils, trash, and neighborhood concern.
As a producer, Paper Tiger’s style reveals his varied tastes. Listen for the influences of mid-school rap, electronic music, his friends. His snares snap, and his samples are distinguished by unusual textures and treatments. The music he makes ranges from the beautiful lamentations like Canonade (from his False Hopes release) to club-fire bangers like Game Over with Mike Mictlan, or Low light / Low Life off "Never Better" by P.O.S.
As a graphic artist, Paper keeps the Doomtree website, posters, and flyers on point. Sunglasses, skateboards, sneakers, NYC, Helvetica—all true of Mr. Tiger.
His 7-inch, Cloquet, was released at Blowout 5.
His first full length album "Made Like Us" is slotted for a 2010 release.

March 26, 2010
So we are all headed over to California next week for the Paid Dues Festival, and guess who’s headlining?

Yep it’s pretty much insane all day. So I decided to throw together my favorite Cube songs for this installment of the 20 MIN MIX

Check this new video by Isaac Arvold (AKA-”Art is Bad”). Not mad at the sound track.
20 MIN MIX #4
February 22, 2010
Ahhhh yes, here is the 4th installment of the 20 min mix.
This one takes us back to the early 90’s with new jack swing.
What a wonderful time, it wasn’t really R+B, it really wasn’t Rap,
but something in between, and all together awesome. It reminds
me of very bright colored suits, and questionable dance moves.
So let’s get it crackin’ and I’ll hit you with another one real soon.

3 weeks…
February 18, 2010
I just got back from 3 amazing weeks of being on the road. Well, away from home at least.
The first week I was gone I was in Aspen Colorado. I DJ a party for the X-games out there, and it was as much if not more fun than last time. I got to stay in a baller ass hotel room for 6 days, and live like a king.
Then, I flew home for just around …
20 MIN MIX #3
January 09, 2010
Here we go, the 3rd installment of this ongoing tradition of the 20 MIN MIX.
This is what I like to call the “Random Stack”, there is really no rhyme or reason to this one.
I just grabbed some random tracks and put them together. Hope you like it.
It’s 2010, let’s do this, DOOMTREE!
New 20 MIN MIX !!!
December 16, 2009

Keep checking back I will be doing these as often as possible.
