Upcoming NOCAP SHOWS

NoCap is among the new generation of artists, using emotions and aggression to fuel the energy behind his trap bangers.

NoCap actually first started rapping when he was 8 or 9 years old, under the guidance’s of his mom’s boyfriend at the time, who was also penning his rhymes. He stopped for a period of time before picking it back up once his brother started again, circa 2017. NoCap cites his brother as an importance influence and figure in his life, who’s also ended up in somewhat of a managerial role these days.

The rapper began to take his career seriously when he dropped his first song, “Boss Move,” which proceeded to rack up 50k plays off top on YouTube– quite the feat for the artist’s first record, but he had the support of his city on his back. The momentum has continued to climb since his first record, with his debut mixtape Neighborhood Hero. Three more mixtapes, including The Backend Child, Hood Dictionary and a joint mixtape with Rylo Rodriguez called Rogerville would follow, as well as a couple more viral songs, including “Ghetto Angels.” A co-sign from NBA Youngboy, Lil Baby would only further cement his stardom.

Now, NoCap is going to be in the position where he’s the one doling out co-signs, while fans anxiously await his proper debut album.

NoCap’s bluesy ballads are catchy as hell

Sometimes you catch a rapper in the moment. It’s a fleeting one, but if you do it’s a spiritual experience. That moment is different depending on the artist, but in this case I’m talking about when a rapper is on the precipice of becoming someone LeBron raps along to on Instagram, while still niche enough that they’re headlining small rooms full of exclusively diehard fans. I stumbled into one such show earlier this week when I caught NoCap at the Gramercy Theatre in Manhattan.

NoCap is like a blues singer who fell in love with battle rap. The Mobile, Alabama crooner is part of a wave of Boosie, Kevin Gates, and Future-inspired Southern rappers who sing-rap about their emotional turmoil over finger-plucked acoustic guitar samples and ’90s R&B pianos. What has made his take distinct from all the sad-sack anthems out there is that it’s fun despite the melancholic mood. Check the hook on “Dead Faces,” a cut from his 2019 breakout tape The Backend Child: the tone is mopey as hell but it’s playful through his commitment to creating clever (sometimes hilariously convoluted) punchlines: “Ain’t talkin’ soap but they gettin’ the dial tone/We born, live, then die alone/I was dead broke, I seen Ben Franklin in the casket/The world was sleepin’ on me, it was Earth under my mattress.”

In the last year or two, NoCap’s popularity has surged after signing to YoungBoy and releasing a slew of gloomy singles. My favorite is “Drown In My Styrofoam,” which has the lyrical tension of peak Future. Last week, he released his official debut album Mr. Crawford, which strikes a decent balance between the stripped-down moody ballads where he shines and the shoehorned-in attempts at broadening his sound. Take “Very Special,” the type of upbeat Atlantaified joint that sounds like a hit, but honestly anyone could make it. A NoCap song sounds more like “Choppas and Ferraris,” full of bluesy guitars, melodrama, and memorable punchlines.

As the fans in Gallery Department hoodies, Palm Angels sweats, and Pooh Shiesty-style Nike balaclavas filed into the venue, I wondered if a New York crowd would even care about NoCap. The regional barriers aren’t what they used to be, but this is still New York. They’ll do Chicago and Atlanta. But Alabama?! That’s pushing it. At first, the intimate spot of about 650 sounded more like a night at the MET than a rap show—quiet enough to have a phone call. The spectators brought out their regional biases for the openers: a West Coast rapper by the name of Mpackt channeled the Northern California bounce of the EBK crew and got apathetic stares, and later Birmingham’s Big Yavo received a few golf claps.

The first sign of life was when a DJ spun a bunch of records from Lil Durk and Lil Baby’s The Voices of the Heroes, an album that I knew was popular but didn’t realize people actually liked enough to have the deep cuts memorized. Then NoCap took the stage with “I’ll Be Here,” a guitar-driven standout from his new album. Immediately the blunts lit up, fans hooked their arms around each other’s shoulders, and nearly everyone sang with the passion of Boyz II Men in the “End of the Road” video: You know, eyes shut, with two hands over their heart or on their head, on the verge of falling to their knees, as if the painful lyrics were about their own life. At one point during “Overtime,” a teenager not far away from me hugged his friend while they sang “My gun jammin’ in my dreams when I be tryna kill the reaper” and his friend hugged him back.

Fans were there to get in their feelings—and they were in the right place. Eventually NoCap, wearing a black T-shirt and sunglasses too big for his face, told his DJ to cut the backing tracks. It was now a-cappella night with the crowd as his choir. While phone flashlights lit up the venue like Rod Wave’s Pray 4 Love cover, he stopped singing altogether for “Vaccine (Falling Star).” The audience took over, and NoCap just stood there, possibly falling asleep for a moment or just basking in it all. Whatever it was, right there it felt like the moment.

Tupac’s acting career hit a wall in the mid-’90s. After coming out hot with a three-peat of Juice, Poetic Justice, and Above the Rim, his final three movies were small, middling releases—a self-inflicted result of his stint in jail for sexual abuse. There was the bizarre, straight-to-video crime flick with Mickey Rourke called Bullet, followed by Gridlock’d, a dark comedy that follows a hectic day in the life of two heroin addicts. His final movie, Gang Related, was a tonally off crime thriller with noir vibes but without the style. Jim Belushi was Pac’s co-star, a sign of the downward spiral he was on in more ways than one.

Jim Kouf, who would go on to co-write Rush Hour, Snow Dogs, and National Treasure, both wrote and directed Gang Related. The script is a total mess. Pac and Jim Belushi are dirty cops who set up a fake cocaine deal, with a plan to execute the dealer (played by a shadeless Kool Moe Dee), make it look like a gang-related killing, and pocket the bread. The plan goes fine, but turns out Kool Moe Dee was an undercover DEA agent. Pac and Belushi spend the entirety of the runtime attempting to frame a homeless man, who turns out to be a long-lost billionaire philanthropist doctor or some shit. The characters aren’t just unlikable, they also have no depth. Jim Belushi is evil. Pac has some gambling debts. I didn’t care what happened to either of them. The movie doesn’t even have a memorable soundtrack, a must for a rapper-led vehicle: It opens with “Lost Souls” and closes with “Starin’ Through My Rear View,” neither of which come anywhere close to Pac’s best.

Babys World: “Memories”

A good playlist of Michigan rappers with “Baby” in their name would include Baby Smoove, Babyface Ray, Baby Money, BabyTron, Baby Ghost, and, last but not least, Babys World. I first came across Babys World three years ago when he popped up on a track from Drego and Beno’s 2019 apology tape Sorry For the AutoTune (they were dead serious), and stood out on the posse cut “Further Than Close” with his slightly melodic delivery. He doesn’t use that flow much on his latest project Have Money Have Heart, but I generally prefer his more laid-back cadence on cuts like “Memories” anyway. Over a piano-driven beat, he describes a lifestyle of Rolex purchases and drug deals, calmly calling out the broke dudes and 30-year-olds who get on his nerves. He’s doing the babies of Michigan justice.

Bronx rapper Shani Boni’s breathless On the Radar Freestyle

I’ve been coming across Shani Boni’s freestyle again and again on social media, and I stop and watch the entire thing every time. Her flow is in high speed but she has such control over it, bringing to mind G Herbo when he’s in a zone. It’s not the easiest thing to make work outside of the radio freestyle space, but I’ll be checking to see if she does.

Mari Montana: “Money On My Head”

Go to YouTube and within minutes you might stumble into interesting rap from just about any city in Florida: the drill-leaning singles out west in Jacksonville, a crooner like T9ine in Tampa, or the Kodak-inspired sound that continues to dominate the Southern tip of the state. Mari Montana reps West Palm Beach, and on “Money On My Head,” he floats unspecific threats and flexes over a piano line suited for a Veeze tape. What will grab you instantly is his flow–he has an incredibly deep-toned voice that’s smooth enough for local radio commercial narration. When the drums fade out for a moment halfway through, you’re left only with his heavy yet mellow delivery.

MarijuanaXO, Joe Pablo, and SME TaxFree: “Mayday”

MarijuanaXO and Joe Pablo’s Window Service and SME Taxfree’s This One For My Brothers are two of my favorite mixtapes of the year so far. The Milwaukee rap trio continue their hot streak with “Mayday” by running the three man weave better than the Bucks. I particularly like Joe Pablo’s opening verse where he displays his knack for making his lines melodic without having to sing. Meanwhile, Taxfree and MarijuanaXO place more emphasis on their lyrics, which range from sentimental bro appreciations to somewhat bland fast-money tales. The beat rounds it out, complete with a generic but fresh electric guitar sample, an ’80s R&B synthesizer, and a groovy bassline.
