Career

Kap G has collaborated with big-name artists, such as Chief Keef, T.I., Wiz Khalifa, Jeezy and Kirko Bangz among others. He released his debut single, titled "Tatted Like Amigos"; a collaboration with Chicago rapper Chief Keef, which garnered him mainstream attention. Since then, Kap G began remixing other artists' songs, which drew the attention of Dungeon Family A&R Representative Kawan Prather, who ultimately discovered Kap G, which landed him a signing deal with Atlantic Records.[4]

On March 6, 2014, Kap G released his mixtape, titled Like a Mexican via DatPiff.[5] He is currently in the studio recording his first extended play (EP), with the assistance of Pharrell Williams.[6] Kap G has been featured in numerous articles for XXL magazine, and was nominated for XXL Freshman in 2015.[7] On March 4, 2016, Kap G released his song "Girlfriend", the second single from highly anticipated mixtape titled "El Southside" which features special guest appearance from Young Thug, Cash Out, YFN Lucci and more.[8] "Girlfriend" became his biggest song to date, and was certified Gold by the RIAA in August 2016.[9] On April 14, 2017, he released his debut studio album SupaJefe, on which he collaborates with Chris Brown, Dae Dae and Pharrell Williams. He was on the SupaJefe tour from July 6 to August 26, 2017. On June 12, 2017, XXL revealed Ramirez was included in their annual freshman class.

Musical style

Much of his lyrical content pays homage and represents his Mexican culture and is bilingual, switching between English and Spanish.[10] Kap G has said that his goal in his career is to subvert stereotypes of Mexicans[3] and "to be a part of opening doors for Latinos".[2] In an XXL interview he also stated that his style has been compared to Outkast and South Park Mexican.[2]
