Cappo on the F24 Podcast 2025

Easy people and welcome back to the F24 Podcast, my name is David and as often as possible I have a creative come over to my studio in North Acton to talk about their lives and interactions with London, or whatever place they are from, culture and creativity. This addition to the F24 UK Culture Archive, that’s what I’m referring to as now.. is Cappo who has been a top level lyricist since I first heard him and got into UK Hip Hop in 2001 thanks to Juse from Highbury. Capps lives in Nottingham and we wanted to get this conversation in so we did it on zoom, a dope couple of hours. Cappo dropped his first album in 2003, same year I opened the shop and the Zebra Traffic boys made sure it was in the stock at the shop the moment RareKind was co-signed by Brighton’s Don, HP of the Lost Souls and he’s been in rotation ever since. At the end of last year Ewan at RareKind Records in Brighton checked in and asked if I’d heard Cappo’s latest album, I hadn’t.. Ewan popped it in the post and couple days later I’m bouncing round my studio, feeling the energy and lyricism of one of my favourites latest offering to the UK Music.. Canon by Nottingham’s Cappo and Kong the Artisan is at the top of albums of last year and is and will be hard to top this year and maybe years ahead also.. It’s a beauty with, as per Cappo’s skill, eloquent lyricism which requires lyrical excavation to breakdown his rhymes. The album is honesty at the highest level, thought provoking and heart string pulling. I rang Ewan back after a week of listening and told him my thoughts.. he then proceeded to tell me what Cappo had also accomplished in recent years, he became a Doctor of Philosophy with a PHD in literature, music and contemporary culture and for those that listen to this archive, podcast, know full well that is right up my street. There is nothing I love better than someone coming through this amazing culture we found as kids and young adults and it assist in them finding their true self. Not to say Cappo or me as Dasr our not our true selves, of course they are but as we get older and realise how hard this living life is, the more I find the comfort of being yourself, Paul, David, you lot, it is beneficial to understanding and letting your self be, just be. No cloak, no alias, proudly standing up with the culture on your back stating I am me.. This conversation is amazing, like all of them, but Capps is the man, so nuanced, so thoughtful, so considered… This is some of Dr.Paul Stephen Adey’s, culture and creativity story, enjoy, this is F24.
