Rapper’s Recession

Apologies for the lack of blog from me this last while. Where to start, hmm?: I watched 5th Element and experience the future-paradise that is Milton Keynes for the first time, played some amazing gigs, and wrote some new songs…

With the rhymes not paying the bills as easily as I’d like a few odd jobs were taken on this last while. I was stage manager for this nation-wide music/coffee tour, which means I had to make sure dreamy-space-cadet artists don’t get lost on the way to the stage. Spinal Tap is a reality! During the tour we did get a chance to check out some Banksy originals in Bristol, it’s the street equivilant of seeing the Monalisa ‘in the paint’…A-MA-ZING.
Other money grabbing schemes have seen me standing in the cold with a sign on my body, serving coffee, unblocking drains, gardening, I tell you it’s been all sorts.

The recession has hit rappers hard.

On the road I had various fails. EPIC BABE FAIL #
So I thought this girl was into me (typical) after some time I divided to visit her at the Nugget store she had told me about. I put my balls on the table and went ‘so I’m going to this gig tonight, wanna come?’. Th dude next to her behind the till pipes up ‘I’m sorry me and my FIANCE her are busy!’

:/

So with the girlfriend quest as dire as ever I’m pleased to tell you songwriting is on the up, I’m in a creative nirvana space candy floss bubble.

I’m playing an acoustic gig at the Goldhawk Tavern in Shepard’s Bush on this coming Wednesday (30th of November). Come down to here some new bits and coupled with the classics. FREE ENTRY!

When coming to watch me if you see these you’re in the right place!

Recently audiences coming to acoustic gigs including the prestigious/arty/serious British Film Institute have turned ‘Superstars’ into a Kape-Karoeke.

If all goes to plan Wednesday will not be any different.

recession’s hit rappers hard but hustlers are untouchable (A$AP holla atcha boi).

srs until you’ve made over-filtered hipster-esque ‘underground’ vids galore and mailed every single ‘cool’ music site with mixtapes, you can’t say shit. that’s like some punk saying he sucks at maths when all he does is play world of warcraft in the darkness naked and use his tears as lubricant as he laments his shitty life. fuck that noize get the hustle on nahmeaaaan

plus it’s straight up unfair to the masses at large to deprive them of large-scale chris cape glory. act like ya hurd
