Cap 1

Chicago, known for its underworld of mobsters and original gangsters, has also produced a crop of talented musicians emerging from the gritty streets. Ro’Zay Richie, or Cap 1, hails from Chicago’s Southside, blending street smarts with raw artistic talent. Influenced by hip-hop legends like Run DMC and Slick Rick, he made history as the first rapper signed to Motown Records in 2000. Despite setbacks, Cap 1 relocated to Atlanta and found success as a songwriter, collaborating with artists like Yung Berg and Bobby Valentino, before establishing himself as a key figure in Ludacris’s Disturbing Tha Peace label alongside 2 Chainz.

Cap 1’s journey has been marked by resilience and determination, leading to accolades as the first artist under 2 Chainz’s label and a management deal with Street Execs. Currently working on a new mixtape, “Tru To It,” he is poised for a triumphant comeback, declaring this as his year as an underdog in the music industry. With a burgeoning buzz surrounding his career, Cap 1 is a rising artist to watch closely in the evolving music landscape. For bookings, contact [email protected] or 770-364-0165.
