Tha Captin

I got the chance to interview the mind behind “Big Ball Cappin”, Tha Captin himself. His work is getting great reviews and praise from some big names in the industry. Below we talk about his new music and his advice for indie artists trying to make it.
Your latest mixtape “Big Ball Cappin” is doing really well right now. How does it feel to have another hit on your hands?

I’m going to keep on working, you feel me, so we can keep these hits coming, you fee me, Big Ball Cappin out now make sure you go get it if you aint got it get it now! Also make sure you go check out my previous mixtapes “Million Dollar Wrist Game” and “OhhGee” everything on live mixtapes yall can go get all them, you feel. It feels good man, it feels good finally getting the dues from the work I been putting in, you feel me.
How does it differ from your earlier projects?
The production has gotten a whole lot better I’m starting to perfect my sound I’m starting to mold myself into the artist I need to be, you feel me, and you can hear that in my lyrics. My stories are getting more real, I’m starting to shed light on who Tha Captin really is and the struggles I got through.
Every artist pulls from different inspirations. What would you say is your biggest inspiration right now?
Right now my biggest inspirations is making a way out and providing a way for my homeboys and my family, just bigger and better things. I got to see the world and know what’s out there so I know I can get to it.
At Swurv we like to give as much attention to indie artists as we can. Do you have any advice for new artists that want to make an impact?
Keep pushing and focus on your dreams and goals. Don’t let anybody ever tell you that you can’t make it cause you can do anything you set your mind to. And most importantly have faith in yourself cause if you don’t, then who will?

Tha Captain is back with another one! The album starts off with the song “Wait” letting people know he aint waiting for it, The Captain is going to go get it. The majority of the project is a lot of trap talk the type of records that motivate you to grind harder. The song “Don’t Grind Won’t Shine” fits perfect in that category. Tha Captain teams up with Boosie Badazz for a trap house anthem he also recruits Bank Roll Fresh for the record “Shake It Off”.Surprisingly our favorite records are the ones with out features like “Swing My Door, Studio and Momma. Production is on point, Hooks are catchy and the overall project goes hard. Get you a copy! - Dat Vato Capo (Concrete Magazine)

Tennessee native Tha Captin is on a mission to bring back the realness to the rap game. With his new single, “Wait,” Tha Captin unleashes a cool video that is both visually pleasing and effortlessly creative. Produced by Atlanta hit-maker Cassius Jay, “Wait” is a spaced-out track with wavy bells and hard-hitting 808s, a perfect backdrop for Tha Captin to rap about his dedication and respect for the grind. A humble artist in both his approach to music as well as his relationship with his community and team, the rapper also encourages others to make the best of their respective situations—telling them to take the grind they have now and pursue it to its maximum potential.

“Wait” comes from Tha Captin’s most recent mixtape, Big Ball Cappin, which sports production by Cassius Jay, Yung Lan and Nard & B, plus features from Boosie Badazz, Bankroll Fresh and Skooly. Known to release up to 4-5 mixtapes a year as a part of his consistent hustle, Tha Captin is currently prepping for the release of his next project in spring 2016 and continuing to perform across the country. - By BIGNOAH256
