We had the good fortune of connecting with Capodei Capi and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Capodei, what is the most important factor behind your success?
Staying Focused, Maximizing your craft , Not let people know your vision until it is seen in completion are the most important factor behind success . You have to be OBSESSED with completing your goals. Until they are complete everything else needs to come second to none. You cannot listen to outsiders & negative people doubt you and not support you . Stay focusing on what’s important . Determination and dedication will outweigh the negativity that will surround anyone attempting to better themselves . Antisocial people have more time to focus on business unless your job requires socializing to prosper .

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am a Musician. I am a Rap Artist .My mixtape Name is : Retired Street N**$$@. I am talented with my own style . Originality , Creativity, No Autotune, No mumble rapping . I didn’t wanna sound like everyone else with heavy auto tune and mumble singing .Everyone sounds the same to me now days I can’t tell the artist apart seriously .

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Honestly I’m a home body .If I don’t have a performance to do or I’m not at one of several small businesses I own .I am at home watching Netflix, Sports, or playing the PS5. Going to Publix or Home Depot is my outing .

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?

A lot of people let me down and didn’t support me nor did they believe in me but they did & god did .
