CMU Approved
Approved: Cappo – Full Scale Chronicles
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 16 August 2010
Years ago, probably a decade now, I went and saw Cappo live. He was about half way up the bill, maybe a little lower, but when he came on he blew everyone else off the stage. After his twenty minute slot there was no doubt about who the king of the show was. But just to make sure, he came on and freestyled with every other act performing that night. He ended up on stage for a good two or three hours and it made for one of the best hip hop shows I have ever seen.
This is basically a very long winded way of telling you that Cappo has a free compilation of freestyles from various radio appearances over the last couple of years, plus one from a Tim Westwood’s Radio 1 show in 1999, back when everyone’s voices were much higher. His skill is apparent throughout, as he rhymes with absolute confidence, mixing very British references with nods to literature, history and mythology. The compilation is available for nothing (or more, if you like) from Cappo’s Bandcamp-fuelled website, where you’ll also find his latest album ‘Genghis’ (still one of my favourites of 2010), and classics from his discography, like the ‘Codex’ and ‘H-Bomb’ EPs.
