Hip-Hop DJ

The concert is completely sold out in an arena that seats thousands of fans. The lights dim, and every person's heart races rapidly in anticipation. The music bumps through the speakers simultaneously as that familiar voice explodes over the microphone, "I am your DJ KKKIIIDDD CAPRI!! The crowd goes wild and it becomes another show that proves that this hip-hop DJ still has the swagger to rock the turntables. "When I first walk [into] a show, I know where to go when I hit that stage. I always try to stay on top of my game, so when the people leave they feel better than when they came in," explains Capri.

Now, 31 years since he first touched a turntable, Capri is confident his new music label, No Kidn Records - along with other business ventures, will help the struggling hip-hop industry reclaim its musical crown. "We're starting a new network, called The Real Hip-Hop Network. It's going to uplift hip-hop and bring hip-hop back [to] where it's supposed to be," he says.

In addition to being an executive producer for the new network, Capri recently wrapped up a film, The Craziest Kid, that will give fans an inside look on his lifestyle outside of the spotlight. "It's about me and the way that I did it," he says. "I don't get into all that stardom sh*t. I'm human just like anyone else, and [there] is so much more to Kid Capri that people don't know [about]." -jamana Jamison
