Growing up in Nottingham, Cappo originally started out as a graffiti writer, but soon his love of hip hop culture led him to take on the challenge of MCing. By 1995, he was rapping every day, honing his craft until his live debut at Nottingham Carnival, in the summer of 1997. Within a year, he had built himself a fearsome reputation on the Nottingham open mic scene, and put out a 3-track demo EP, followed by his self-financed debut, ‘The Cap Tape Volume One’. A deal with Son Records followed, resulting in the release of the ‘Cap 3000’ and ‘Codex’ EPs in 1999 and 2000, before hooking up with the mighty P Brothers for guest appearances on their Heavy Bronx Experience releases. By now, Cappo’s fearless lyricism and defiant flow had earned him a reputation not just around Nottingham, but around the country. His debut LP, ‘Spaz The World’, was two-and-a-half years in the making before Zebra Traffic picked it up for release: described by no less a figure than Mr Scruff as “The best hip hop LP I’ve heard in ages”, 'Spaz The World' cemented Cappo’s position as one of the very best MCs this country has to offer. The album spans the entire spectrum of hip hop, from the pounding beats of 'IDST' to the reflective and intelligent lyrics of 'Watership Down', inspired by the loss of Cappo’s father when he was young. 12” releases ‘Learn To Be Strong’ and 'Grand Final'.
