The lehigh valley music scene has had alot of good emcees coming out of it but not much buzz outside of the lehigh valley. It was always said if there was a rapper the whole community can back then we would finally have a star out of the local scene. With such a divide with the underground cats and mainstream ready emcees it just seemed impossible that the scene would fall behind one emcee. Looking at online feed it seems theres a artist that has done that. Kunztown college allumini J Capitol Phas been slowly making his name known for the past 3-4 years. Not only has his buzz been growing his maturity and talent as a artist has been as well. This blog first covered him when his mixtape the image of me was released. He came off the typical egotistical rapper with bost like "ive been the talk of allentown for the past five years." looking back at that now he actually predicted his career path. His buzz first started with his weekly "trash a track tuesday" witch is a weekly freestyle series that has garned over 10 thousand plus views on youtube. Thats whats missing in artist nowadays is heart and the willingness to mature as e emcee witch jp has both. later on that year he released his first video for doing my thang witch landed him a levigh valley music award nomination for best song. it was a club style track that would be played on any local station but lyrically wasnt toned down to the mainstream standards of today. One would assume a artist with a radio ready style wouldnt be accepted by the whole community but with local cosigns coming from vets like l-perfex, and el chain plus the love on other blogs from da stash box to islm610 the whole area has come behind him. His newest video of his mixtape bad guys finish first send them my love has been reposted by a vareity of local emcees and fans alike and his up and coming album bundle up 2 is high anticipated in the area. One thing i gotta say is you gotta respect this kid for a younging he knows the way the industry works. I had asked him if he had any shows coming up and said he wanted his craft to grow more before touring with you gotta commend not wanting to have any half ass performance and actually look like a entertainer. I see big things in store for this up and coming emcee.
