If you are not familiar with the Hyphy movement, Wikipedia describes it as, “a style of music and dance primarily associated with the San Francisco Bay Area Hip Hop culture. Although the Hyphy movement started in the early ’90s, it began to emerge in the early 2000’s as a response from Bay Area rappers against commercial Hip Hop for not acknowledging the Bay Area for setting trends in the Hip Hop industry. Although the ‘Hyphy movement’ has just recently seen light in mainstream America, it has been a long standing and evolving culture in the Bay Area. Bay Area rapper Keak Da Sneak takes credit for coining the term when, as a young boy, his mother would often tell him he was hyperactive. He would often repeat the word ‘hyper’ as ‘hyphy.’
Hyphy music is distinguished by gritty, pounding rhythms and in this sense can be associated with the Bay Area as Crunk music is to the South; however, contrary to popular belief, the musical aspect of the Hyphy movement has very few similarities to Crunk music as it is dictated by more up-tempo beats. An individual is said to ‘get hyphy’ when they act or dance in an overstated and ridiculous manner. Those who consider themselves part of the Hyphy movement would describe this behavior as acting ‘stupid’ or ‘going dumb.’ In contrast to much of popular American culture where these phrases would be considered negative or even insulting, Hyphy is distinguished by taking this kind of behavior as a form of pride.”
Oakland, California is definitely the capitol of the Hyphy movement and being Caprice’s homebase as well, he has had the opportunity to work with many great Hyphy artists, such as Keak Da Sneak, E-40, Traxamillion, Dem Hoodstarz, Tha Team, Too $hort, Turf Talk, Sean-T, and many more!
Actually, I think my favorite song off of Caprice’s new album, Operation Occupation, is “Next To Tha Bar,” featuring Hyphy greats Kaz Kaiser, Turf Talk, and Too $hort. Let’s check it out. This is Caprice featuring Kaz Kaiser, Turf Talk, and Too $hort with “Next To Tha Bar.”
Caprice lived a very musical life growing up and by the tender age of 13 he began to feel a great passion for music. It was pretty hard for Caprice not to fall into music though since both of his parents shared the same passion for music, being singers themselves.
At age 15, Caprice started launching his career by performing in various talent shows around the San Francisco Bay Area. He performed at such venues as The Berkeley Square Theatre and even at the outer stage at the KMEL Summer Jam. He also performed at local clubs such as Mingles and Sweet Jimmie’s to crowd sizes that most people would freeze up to!
Throughout the years, Caprice’s ‘worked-with’ resume has grown tremendously, and it seems that he has worked with almost every Hip Hop/Rap artist and producer in the San Francisco Bay Area. To find out more about Caprice, who he has worked with, where you can see him next, to hear more of his tracks, and/or to purchase some of his music, check out his webpage at Music Sumo today. He is currently the Featured Artist and is on our homepage at www.musicsumo.com. You can also check out his official webpages at Big Rich Records (www.myspace.com/bigrichrecords) and Mobb Gear Entertainment (www.myspace.com/mobbgearent).
Well, that is about it for Music Sumo Podcast #023. If you liked what you have heard from Caprice and his Hyphy cohorts, please visit Music Sumo today at www.musicsumo.com to take a listen to more clips of his music and to purchase a copy of his latest release, Operation Occupation.
