For details and ticket availability, please see www.bet.com/bet-experience.html.
What’s more, Kap G was selected to be a part of Sprite’s Summer campaign. Throughout the campaign his lyrics will be featured on 16-ounce Sprite cans and 20-ounce bottles that will be available for a limited time only in nationwide convenience stores and other retail locations. He stars in the campaign alongside Vince Staples, Lil Yachty, DRAM, Vic Mensa, and Kamaiyah.
Hailed by XXL as “loaded with hot new tunes and great features,” “SUPAJEFE” showcases such smoking tracks as “Icha Gicha (Feat. Pharrell Williams)” and the recently released “Rings,” named by XXL upon its release last month as one of the “Best Songs of the Week.” Produced by Young Exclusive and Cardo, “Rings” is streaming now at Kap G’s official YouTube channel.
As if all that weren’t enough, “SUPAJEFE” is further highlighted by Kap G’s breakout 2017 single, “Freakin ‘N’ Geekin.” Produced by Go Grizzly (Kevin Gates, Akon), the track earned attention from national media outlets including XXL, Rap-Up, and HotNewHipHop, which declared “the bouncy party banger could turn out to be Kap G's first 2017 hit.” In addition, the official “Freakin ‘N’ Geekin” companion video – directed by Jon J (Rick Ross, Wale, Meek Mill) – premiered last month and can be viewed now at Kap G’s own YouTube channel.
Recently featured on the influential “Pursuit of Dopeness,” Kap G made his i am OTHER/Atlantic debut with last year’s acclaimed “EL SOUTHSIDE” mixtape, hosted by DJ Drama and available now on the iTunes Store, Google Play, Amazon, and Spotify. The project – which includes production from Pharrell Williams and guest spots from Young Thug, YFN Lucci, Nechie, and Ca$h Out – is highlighted by such tracks as “Don’t Need Em (Feat. Young Thug)” and the hit single, “Girlfriend.” Hailed by Complex as “a low-key record without being subtle, a cold performance so icy it's as if it'd been chilled before release,” “Girlfriend” has drawn more than 56 million streams and is joined by a blockbuster companion video, now exceeding 17 million views at Kap’s official YouTube channel alone. As if that weren’t enough, a very special “Girlfriend (Remix) (Feat. Ty Dolla $ign and Quavo)” is available now on the iTunes Store and Spotify.
Kap G – who only just returned from a featured role on Chris Brown’s epic “The Party Tour” – has been hailed as one of the freshest and most important new voices in hip hop for his extraordinary musical chronicles of the Mexican-American experience. Raised in College Park, GA, the gifted rapper made his musical bones in high school, releasing a series of increasingly popular tracks including “Tatted Like Amigos (Feat. Chief Keef).” The next two years saw Kap unleash mixtapes (including 2014’s “LIKE A MEXICAN”) and tracks like the provocative “La Policia,” each earning him further praise and a wider mainstream audience.
