Capskey aka Ben Field is somewhat of a legend in his own right. He hails from The Shire and first became known for his penchant for battle rapping. His angry and menacing manner endeared him to many, apart from those who his derogatory slurs were aimed at ’saw your sister last night….nice minge’. Anyway, I digress, Caps is actually a very mild mannered and cultured individual who has somehow managed to blag himself a radio show at his University. There is no pretense with what he does, he just chats shit in between playing some amazing tunes. Here’s what he had to say about his efforts -
Part-time emcee/local battle rapper (retired) Capskey, finds himself at university with a hard-drive full of music, and a heart that just won’t quit (8 Mile intro trailer)…er, I hate that third person stuff….basically I, Caps play music that I think is good, then ramble aimlessly in between songs. I play dope hip-hop, lots of it, for I am blessed with awesome taste. I also play a lot of alternative rock, because that’s the way I like my rock yeah? (I am a dick) But basically anything I find that I think is interesting I will play…I have done around 30 shows and already I am worth 10 Moyles, 8 Evans and 33 Westwoods…! Check the shows out! They are awesome!! Come and have a listen! (implore, implore)…pow pow pow… and add me on myspace…Brrappp!
Here’s the rough guide/tracklisting to Caps’ ramshackle show. There’s no doubt, he was loose mofo with a taste in music second to none.
