Repping Cap B!
This is another artist that impressed me at the summer jam! Talk about energy, attention grabbing performance that makes everyone get up on their feet. You can’t but help move to his jamz! His energy is contagious!
Born Akingbenga Akinyemi in Lagos Nigeria, Cap B was inspired by music at a tender and has influences ranging from Sir Shina Peters to Nas. The self acclaimed U.F.O (Undeniably Fly and Offical) has an eclectic mix and taste for all kind of music and is a song writer as well. He moved to the States after his high school education in Nigeria; a move which resulted in self-realization of his musical talent. He and his peers: Hottice, L.P and their manager Francis a.k.a Olumoney later went on to create the group D.N.B. (Dem Naija Boys) and produced songs originating from a fusion of afro music and hip hop. When you hear his unique sound, you can feel the intensity of his lyrics. Although many artists sound cloned and fabricated, Cap B prides himself as being original and being able to relate to the average listener. It is time the world realizes his CAP-a-B-ility.
His most recent single:”No be lie” is so catchy! I practically know all the words to the song. Oh I forgot to mention I had the track on repeat for a while! I absolutely love it! This track was also featured on the Nigerian DJ summer jam mixtape and the video for this is coming soon!
“Too many fine girls for club I wan try…Looking so fly walai I wan die…..she’s fly no lie….But if you never see am you go think say I dey lie….shey na lie lie…no be lie lie lie”
