THE OFFICIAL MYSPACE PAGE OF THELONIOUS KAPPS

Kapps Bio“Welcome To The Future” – “Invisible Man” (2007)“When the lights is on, its time to perform!”To some, it’s merely a saying, but to Brooklyn bred and based lyricist Thelonious Kapps it’s an attitude and self designed blueprint for success. Since his early teens the emcee, now 20, prided himself upon developing fresh and inventive perspectives to approach his craft and budding career. By 15, he enrolled himself into the award winning non-profit turned major motion picture The Hip Hop Project. There he learned the multiple facets of the music business from various industry professionals (Steve Stoute, Russell Simmons to name a few) as well as guidance on strengthening his performance, content, and lyrical delivery.Since his induction into the program over four years ago, Kapps was able to impressively stage over 200-plus live outings (both public and private) as well as publish a highly innovative catalogue of “real good feel good music.” The latter is a compilation of sounds and ideas that according to Kapps “provides a groove” genuinely inspired to entertain rather than complain.Musically he embodies the ever-growing movement of the young and progressive; he refreshingly delivers a new jack swagger and charm at a time where our favorite rappers are growing into their mid to late 30’s. Trust. The ladies love him, guys want to dress like him, and by the time you finish reading this a gang of rappers will be guilty of biting his flow.In order to better brand his forward thinking aesthetics, Kapps adopted a sample free stance as far as production to tailor the overall organic feel of his upcoming debut, The Boarding Pass. Fellow Brooklynites and heatseeking production duo, Clyde & Harry provide a bass-booming knock as evidenced on the undeniably witty club smash “Invisible Man,” while Fortune sweeps together a jazzy backdrop to the love anthem “The Blues.”Kapps is the next star to shine through the dark and sluggish perceptions of rap from New York City. His music will make average fans of the culture loosen their grip on their beloved past so that they can better embrace the future. With the aforementioned debut on the way as well as a healthy slate of performances on his plate, one can most certainly expect this extremely talented and young newcomer to usher in the next generation of classic hip-hop music. “Don’t say we didn’t tried to told ya.”href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o181/geniusclub/shoo t16.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket.....
