Career

edit

Nikolas Papamitrou aka Nick Papz, graduated Husson University with a BS degree in Communications Technology.[5] He started a YouTube channel[6] at the age of sixteen producing "Meek Mill Type Beats"[7][8] which was getting attention and thousands of subscribers.[9] Papamitrou started communicating with well known producers such as Sap (producer) and Jahlil Beats.[10][11][5][12] He was originally discovered through Instagram by a fan tagging Meek Mill's manager on his beat video.[13][14] Papamitrou got signed to Dreamchasers soon after that. Papamitrou became notable after releasing his beat tapes "Apollo"[15][16] and "Cuatro"[17][16] on SoundCloud and MyMixtapez, which set him off with the help of Meek Mill promoting him.[16][15][17]

In February 2017, Papamitrou released two major songs on Don Q's project "Corner Stories[18][19]" named "Don Vito,[19][20][21]" & "It's All Love[22]" with a feature from Dave East.[23][24][25][26] He then released a song with Meek Mill on the Meekend II[27] mixtape called, "Young Nxxx Dreams,[28][29][30][31]" (ft. YFN Lucci & Barcelini).[32][33][34] On July 21, 2017, Meek Mill released the Wins & Losses[35] album worldwide with three major songs produced by Papamitrou.[36] He produced the intro called "Wins & Losses",[3][4] "Connect The Dots"[3][4][37] (ft. Yo Gotti & Rick Ross) and "These Scars"[3][4](ft. Future & Guordan Banks). The Wins and Losses Album debuted at No. 3[38][39][40][41] on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart with 102,000 units[42][43][44] in album sales on its first week. The album remained at No. 3 for the second week.[44][42][45] Papamitrou explained how he got involved with Meek Mill and the Dreamchasers in an interview[46] with My Mixtapez[47]
