NoCap

Similar to paint splattered on a canvas, NoCap splashes all of his pain, anxiety, stress, trouble, trauma, and truth onto the beat. Instead of manically utilizing a brush, he freestyles off the top of his head, channeling emotion too intense to overthink. The multiplatinum Mobile, AL maverick rapper and singer synthesizes melody out of discord and darkness, resonating on an intimate level with fans worldwide.

Carving out a place of his own in the culture, his songs have stuck to a generation. He sent shockwaves through the game with a string of celebrated mixtapes, including The Backend Child [2019], The Hood Dictionary [2019], and Steel Human [2020]. He catapulted into the Top 5 of the Billboard Top R&B Hip-Hop Albums Chart and Top Rap Albums Chart in addition to crashing the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 with his full-length debut LP, Mr. Crawford [2022]. He served up a pair of platinum-certified singles—“Ghetto Angels” and “Vaccine”—as well as showing out on gold-certified bangers such as Lil Baby’s “Dreams 2 Reality,” “New Ones” [with Quando Rondo], and Youngboy Never Broke Again’s “OuttaHere Safe.” Not to mention, he cracked the Hot 100 by featuring on Rylo Rodriguez’s “Thang For You.”

Receiving tastemaker praise, The FADER applauded his “teeth-gritting images of struggle,” and Pitchfork hailed his music as “both deeply personal and invitingly vague, somber and triumphant in equal measure.” Stacking up hundreds of millions of streams and views, selling out shows, and notching widespread acclaim, he cuts deeper than ever and unearths more of himself on his 2024 album, Before I Disappear Again [Atlantic Records].
