For those who have yet to get hip to Kap G, the young, fresh-faced rapper from Atlanta, you could be severely missing out on a heavily melodic experience, as he’s renown for drawing from his Mexican heritage, with Southern-influenced creative content that people can relate to.
HipHopDX had the pleasure of sitting down with the 22-year-old MC at the Popular Demand offices on August 24, another beautiful day in Hollywood, CA. Kap shows up fresh from the studio the night prior, in a Lacoste polo, adidas shorts, with the shoes to match; the last two being a gift from Pharrell. “Shout out to the big bro, thank you. I appreciate it. You keep me fly,” he exclaimed.
For an upstart rapper, Kap has shared more studio time with the greats than well, some of the greats. With a résumé that boasts of Migos, Young Thug, Jeezy, Fabolous, DJ Drama to name a few, he also names another famous Hip Hop star as one of his direct mentors and next collaborator.
In fact, he revealed he was cooking with T.I., working on his upcoming project. “We were just in the studio last night, that’s the big bro,” he admits. “I just like working with hard-working, talented people.”
While the album is currently untitled, he assures us “the music is fantastic.”
Kap is currently signed to Atlantic Records. Consistently putting on for his people, his last mixtape Like a Mexican was executively produced by Pharrell. In an interview with FOX News, Skateboard P simply called him “the future.”
With his passion, dedication, and hard-working worth ethic, picked up from his direct family members growing up, Kap says he’s aspiring to be amongst the greats. (“Kanye already a legend. He already an icon. I’m trying to be like that. It’s up to me to work that hard,” he quips.)
During the interview, Kap also revealed his break-out single “Girlfriend” is based on a real life experience. With lyrics like “I just smoked a blunt with your girlfriend,” Kap proves he is no stranger to the turn-up lifestyle. He also strongly advises, “Hide yo girl” whenever he’s in the building.
Having recently joined Lil Uzi Vert, 21 Savage, and YFN Lucci on the Parental Advisory Tour, for now, Kap can be found at a club likely near you.
“Hide your girl when I’m around”, “I smoked a blunt with your girlfriend” “Kanye a legend. He already an icon. I’m trying to work that hard”. Yep, typical flash in the pan rapper. No subject matter, brings nothing to the table, cocky as hell, generic single to boot.
Whatever, you’re a fucking idiot! Just shut up.
Whatever. Just wait and see. Girlfriend might be hot now, but the rest of his material he gonna put out gonna be lame. Like all the other generic sounding rappers. I don’t care how many cosigns he has.
“Ka” might be Kap G himself. It’s so obvious.
@KA Just wait and see. Girlfriend might be hot now, but the rest of his material he gonna put out gonna be lame. Like all the other generic sounding rappers. I don’t care how many cosigns he has.
This nigglet soft af.
This non-talent is working with “talented people” yeah OK whatever. FOH. Go listen to his song “Girlfriend” and hear the trash for yourself!
Krap G will be gone in a year anyway. Till then you can move on to the next wannabe rapper and wash, rinse, and repeat the cycle
