The Rise of NoCap


Listen Later

NoCap’s rise from the Birdsville projects in Mobile, Alabama, to the top of the Billboard charts has been nothing short of epic. 'Mr. Crawford', his debut studio album, delivered a raw, melodic sound that set him apart in the rap game, and tracks like 'Ghetto Angels' and 'Vaccine' showed his ability to blend personal struggle with lyrical wordplay that hits hard. With collaborations featuring big names like Lil Baby, Kodak Black, and NBA YoungBoy, NoCap has proven he's not just a feature artist but a force in his own right. His latest project, 'Before I Disappear Again', showcases his growth, with singles like 'Baby Drake', 'Yacht Party', and 'Maliboo' giving fans a taste of where he’s headed next. Despite the ups and downs, including a public feud with YoungBoy Never Broke Again and legal issues that could have derailed his career, NoCap’s hustle and talent have kept him on track. From local performances with his brother to Platinum singles, NoCap’s story is one of resilience, grit, and an unrelenting passion for his craft.
