Cap D

"Return of the Renegade" April 10th

About Me


cap D (David Kelly) has dropped 3 albums as 1/2 of the duo All Natural ("No Additives, No Preservatives," "Second Nature," and "Vintage"). cap has also released 2 solo records - the fiercely political "Insomnia," and the concept album "Writer's Block," which was produced exclusively by the Molemen.cap D also released a book of stories, essays, lyrics, and cartoons called "Fresh Air." He has appeared on CNN, MSNBC.com, TIME Magazine, VIBE Magazine, and countless others. Cap has also written articles published by THE SOURCE, TRACE, and CLUE.While other MCs were using their success to launch liquor brands, cap D chose to attend law school, and now practices in Chicago. Fortunately, he still finds the time to record and perform, and his next record "Return of the Renegade" hits stores in April, inshallah.cap D is a Muslim and intensely political. Both of these traits strongly affect his lyrics and his lifestyle. He ties the struggle of blacks in America to the struggle of others throughout the world. His insight cuts evenly, as he is unafraid to take anyone to task, whether it be Muslims who use Islam as an excuse for terror, or politicians who use the "war on drugs" as an excuse to lock up young black men.Once described by the Chicago Tribune as one of "30 to watch under the age of 30," cap D is definitely someone to keep an eye on.
