Bio/Notes: Capo Di Capi is not about individuals and their talents, but about the glorification of Jesus. He is the star and head of the group. But it wasn’t always like that. When we first startet making music at the age of 13, our motives were very different. They were cash, fame, respect, women and more cash.
At the beginning of 2000 the group consisted of the two best friends Seriouz (Chris) and Soulja (Rob) and was called “Cannibalz”. After nights of rapping, texting and getting high, the two boys released their first freestyle-tapes called “Tape-Eins” (Tape One) and “Tür nach innen” (Door to the inside). Ofcourse the lyrics and themes were not very positive, uplifiting and humble. In 2003 a new friend joined the group. His name is Giuah (Gianni). Together they created their last tape titled “Killerinstinkt” (Killerinstinct) and went on to release their first underground CD “LN Mouthomatics / Unser 4tel” (LN Mouthomatics / Our Hood). This was the peak of the misguidance of their lives and souls. A double album with 33 tracks full of pain, anger, hate, love and despair. Years before that the lyrics were only a possibility to prove themselves, but now they wanted to prove that they were living their raps. This helped the devil deceive them.
But God was there aswell.
Although they had rapped so much trash over the years and had proclaimed the darkness many times, Jesus found a way to start speaking to their hearts. They opened their lives to God and accepted Jesus as their personal savior. This step had a great influence on their character and their music. Capo Di Capi was born again. During this process the skills and talents were not lost. With every album the quality raps and beats improved. 2007 their new underground album was released. It was titled “Leidenschaft” (Passion). Extreme changes in the lyrics and themes were clearly visible. Jesus and God were mentioned more and more.
“God see’s every one of us now / He’s building an army of young men and women / That will conquer this land and set it free / We are sure God will use us to build his kingdom.” – Soulja (Rob) “We want to rescue souls and destroy the works of the devil. Our music is also supposed to be a real alternative choice to other rap that transports so much negativity.” – Seriouz (Chris) “Jesus has changed us throgh the Holy Ghost and poured out his love in our hearts / We were born again an became children of God / Jesus is the way, the truth and the life / Everyone proclaiming this, will be forgiven and have eternal life… for free!” – Giuah (Gianni)
