DJ Kid Capri

However, beyond the show stopping performer aspect of Kid, sits another side of him, the meticulous studio-scientist working behind the scenes to lend that extra wisdom to some of hip hop’s hottest, turned classic records.

He revels in the challenge of the ever-changing nature that defines the world of rap music. Prime examples of Kid’s versatility are his production credits. He has produced music for power players like Foxy Brown, The Lox, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Jay-Z, Heavy D, KRS-ONE, Slick Rick, Mary J. Blige, Busta Rhymes, The Lost Boys, Brand Nubian, Cam’ron, Noreaga, Big Pun, Da Ranjahz, Big L and Jermaine Dupri. He participated in national campaigns for Nike, Sprite, Bud Light, Pilot Pens, Lugz Clothing, Fubu Clothing and his own campaign for which he proudly travels the world in his custom-made, monstrous tour bus. The tour bus having life-sized pictures of Kid, himself and support from Roglish Street Threadz, the fastest growing clothing line in the history of urban fashion which Kid has formed a partnership with as he continues to find ways to add unprecedented originality to his legendary status.

As for the future, Kid intends on expanding on his formula for success. He just signed an imprint deal with Island/Def Jam Records for his new record label, NO KID’N Records whose roster includes artists, Red Handed and Natalie. Red Handed’s current single “I Don’t Like to Dance” can be heard on the radio and in clubs nation wide. In the works right now is “The Kid Capri DVD” soon to be available in stores world wide, which catches the beat-smith himself, off-guard in his own element.

The impact Kid Capri has had, and will continue to have, is immeasurable. There is a steadily increasing demand by many of the industry’s top performers for Kid’s guidance and expertise. He is continually touring, selling out shows in 10,000 seat arenas and balancing his heavy schedule with his favorite and most demanding job: fatherhood. Kid has also been the guest host for popular shows such as MTV’s, "Beat Suite," and BET’s "Tigga in the Basement." He was featured in the July 2000 issue of GQ Magazine, and was also featured as the DJ/announcer for the 2000 Source Awards. A few years later Kid delivered an astonishing performance at the 2003 BET Awards. Martha Stewart herself made a personal request for Kid Capri to spin at her Christmas party. NSYNC’s followed in her footsteps requesting Kid for their own, private, holiday party. During the following months he spun for the 2003 TJ Martell Foundation Gala alongside Michelle Branch, Mary J. Blige, Mya and Liz Phair.
