Cap 6, Cap 6 !!! We back in here, and I’m glad to say that I have a new full length from Capital 6 to review, Summer Jelly Vol 2. Capital 6 is a dope collective of lyricists coming out of Tallahasse. Crew member Intricate explains perfectly how to describe the sound of Capital 6 in his track “Heads Up”. Here he delivers the lines “My crew lane is like the Pharcyde meets Wu-Tang”.
You have Crimson who delivers so many bars in each line sometimes, I wonder how he is even breathing. Even more amazing, Crimson has the uncanny ability to stay perfectly in pocket . You have an Intricate, intense aggressive lyricist who has some of the most quotable bars and rhyme schemes out of any one in the crew.
You have Donny Bransco, who without a doubt has the hypest choruses of anyone in the crew. Don’t let that hype box him in, Donny is no stranger to singing on his tracks as well. You have Rob Ohtis who sings the most in the crew. He has one of the dopest outlooks on love and life I’ve ever heard on wax. Finally you have Hakeem Furious ,who is like the ODB of the crew. I’ve listened to a lot of hip-hop and I’ve never heard anyone with a style like this dude, he comes from somewhere else, but it’s always dope none the less.
Summer Jelly Vol. 1
Now that I have the crew introduced let’s get back into this review. It has been quite a while since we have seen a true Capital 6 project. The individual members of Capital 6 have been slowly releasing music. We haven’t had a proper Capital 6 project since August 2014. Which although that isn’t that long ago, the group has grown a lot in that time span. Since the Release of Summer Jelly , we have seen Cap 6 develop. They have improved their songwriting, they have better production, and more individuality between the group members. With all of all the improvements that the group has made before. I can’t help but feel this is going to produce much better results now and into the future. I was really excited to listen to this album.
