Mr. CAP

irst rap group, “The Raise Up Posse”, with high school friends Darryl J. Fontenot (Texas Tech of the South Park Coalition) and Ronnie Bernard (Ron-E, a solo performer). Their group later became known as Ni**az Under Siege, as they lost member Ron-E and gained two new members, X-BAM (of Killa Klan) and Brain Dead (of South Park Coalition). It was around that same year that Mr. CAP joined the South Park Coalition, founded by childhood friend K-Rino in 1986. Ni**az Under Siege, managed by Darryl Scott along with DJ Screw and Michael Price, who pioneered slowing down music (Screw Music) and creating mixtapes, became very popular in the late 80’s and early 90’s in Houston, Texas and on mainstream radio stations, but never released an album as a group. The members of Ni**az Under Siege broke up in late 1992 and began solo careers when Mr. CAP was sentenced to prison for an undisclosed offense. After his release from prison, Mr. CAP continued to work on his craft and passion. Years of performing and gaining respect in the underground circuit for his delivery and stage presence paid off and led to the joining of forces with O.N.E. (Black One of the Screwed Up Click aka “S.U.C”). CAP and O.N.E. produced their first collaboration under the record label O.N.E. 4 Da Money in 2004. During the highly anticipated release of his single “CAP International” in late 2012, Mr. CAP conducted an exclusive interview with Jamsphere Magazine, after which he later released the hit single, “Live My Life” due to unexpected demand. “Live My Life”, was released only to test new music delivery software. The significant impact of this release created a buzz in the music industry and led to further editorial coverage. CAP earned an Associate’s Degree in Computer Network Engineering and studied Computer Science at The University of Houston, leading to a brief career with several Fortune 500 companies. In 2010 Mr. CAP shifted his talents to the World Wide Web and founded the digital distribution company, CAP Distribution – streamlining the process for new artists to make their music available for sale across the world through popular online merchants including iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, eMusic, and more. CAP currently performs and appears as a guest speaker and youth mentor regularly throughout the Houston area and across the United States. He is still spotted from time to time contributing to the heart of South Park, TX.
