Early life

[edit | edit source]

George Ramirez was born on July 31, 1994, Long Beach, California but was later raised in Atlanta, Georgia as the youngest of seven children. He graduated from Tri-Cities High School.[3]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Kap G has collaborated with big-name artists, such as Chief Keef, T.I., Wiz Khalifa, Jeezy and Kirko Bangz among others. He released his debut single, titled "Tatted Like Amigos"; a collaboration with Chicago rapper Chief Keef, which garnered him mainstream attention. Since then, Kap G began remixing other artists' songs, which drew the attention of Dungeon Family A&R Representative Kawan Prather, who ultimately discovered Kap G, which landed him a signing deal with Atlantic Records.[4]

On March 6, 2014, Kap G released his mixtape, titled Like a Mexican via DatPiff.[5] He is currently in the studio recording his first extended play (EP), with the assistance of Pharrell Williams.[6] Kap G has been featured in numerous articles for XXL magazine, and was nominated for XXL Freshman in 2015.[7] On March 4, 2016, Kap G released his song "Girlfriend", the second single from highly anticipated mixtape titled El Southside which features special guest appearances from Young Thug, Cash Out and YFN Lucci.[8] "Girlfriend" became his biggest song to date, and was certified Gold by the RIAA in August 2016.[9] On April 14, 2017, he released his debut studio album SupaJefe, on which he collaborates with Chris Brown (on the song "I See You"[10]), Dae Dae and Pharrell Williams. He was on the SupaJefe tour from July 6 to August 26, 2017. On June 12, 2017, XXL revealed Ramirez was included in their annual freshman class, alongside artists XXXTentacion, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, PnB Rock, Ugly God, KYLE, Playboi Carti, Kamaiyah, Aminé, and MadeinTYO.[11]

Musical style

[edit | edit source]

Much of his lyrical content pays homage and represents his Mexican culture and is bilingual, switching between English and Spanish.[12] Kap G has said that his goal in his career is to subvert stereotypes of Mexicans[3] and "to be a part of opening doors for Latinos".[2] In an XXL interview he also stated that his style has been compared to Outkast and South Park Mexican.[2]
