Directed by Arrad Rahgoshay of Riveting Entertainment Group (Jeremih, G-Eazy, Bone Thugs), the clip is

“SUPAJEFE” is available now at all DSPs and streaming services. Kap G will celebrate the mixtape’s success

complete details and ticket information, please visit www.therealkapg.com/tour.
Kap G – who was just named among XXL Magazine’s “XXL 2017 Freshmen Class” as well as Latina’s “Artists
To Watch in 2017” – will be among the stars performing at Los Angeles’ upcoming BET Experience 2017,
including a much anticipated live set on the BETX Main Stage, set for Saturday, June 24th at 3:50 pm. That
same day will also see Kap G making his debut appearance in the annual BET Celebrity Basketball Game,
joining such star ballers as Snoop Dogg, Soulja Boy, YG, DJ Musturd, Tank, The Game, Joey Bada$$, Trevor
Jackson, Nick Cannon, and more. For details and ticket availability, please see www.bet.com/betexperience.html.
What’s more, Kap G was selected to be a part of Sprite’s Summer campaign. Throughout the campaign his
lyrics will be featured on 16-ounce Sprite cans and 20-ounce bottles that will be available for a limited
time only in nationwide convenience stores and other retail locations. He stars in the campaign alongside
Vince Staples, Lil Yachty, DRAM, Vic Mensa, and Kamaiyah.
Hailed by XXL as “loaded with hot new tunes and great features,” “SUPAJEFE” showcases such smoking
tracks as “Icha Gicha (Feat. Pharrell Williams)” and the recently released “Rings,” named by XXL upon its
release last month as one of the “Best Songs of the Week.” Produced by Young Exclusive and Cardo,
“Rings” is streaming now at Kap G’s official YouTube channel.
As if all that weren’t enough, “SUPAJEFE” is further highlighted by Kap G’s breakout 2017 single, “Freakin
‘N’ Geekin.” Produced by Go Grizzly (Kevin Gates, Akon), the track earned attention from national media
outlets including XXL, Rap-Up, and HotNewHipHop, which declared “the bouncy party banger could turn
out to be Kap G's first 2017 hit.” In addition, the official “Freakin ‘N’ Geekin” companion video – directed
by Jon J (Rick Ross, Wale, Meek Mill) – premiered last month and can be viewed now at Kap G’s own
YouTube channel.
Recently featured on the influential “Pursuit of Dopeness,” Kap G made his i am OTHER/Atlantic debut
with last year’s acclaimed “EL SOUTHSIDE” mixtape, hosted by DJ Drama and available now on the iTunes
Store, Google Play, Amazon, and Spotify. The project – which includes production from Pharrell Williams
and guest spots from Young Thug, YFN Lucci, Nechie, and Ca$h Out – is highlighted by such tracks as
“Don’t Need Em (Feat. Young Thug)” and the hit single, “Girlfriend.” Hailed by Complex as “a low-key
record without being subtle, a cold performance so icy it's as if it'd been chilled before release,”
“Girlfriend” has drawn more than 56 million streams and is joined by a blockbuster companion video, now
exceeding 17 million views at Kap’s official YouTube channel alone. As if that weren’t enough, a very
special “Girlfriend (Remix) (Feat. Ty Dolla $ign and Quavo)” is available now on the iTunes Store and
Spotify.
Kap G – who only just returned from a featured role on Chris Brown’s epic “The Party Tour” – has been
hailed as one of the freshest and most important new voices in hip hop for his extraordinary musical
chronicles of the Mexican-American experience. Raised in College Park, GA, the gifted rapper made his
musical bones in high school, releasing a series of increasingly popular tracks including “Tatted Like
Amigos (Feat. Chief Keef).” The next two years saw Kap unleash mixtapes (including 2014’s “LIKE A
MEXICAN”) and tracks like the provocative “La Policia,” each earning him further praise and a wider
mainstream audience.
