King Kap Returns With His Smooth New EP, ‘Astronaut Music’

Checking back into our pages is midwest emcee King Kap. Over the last 3 years or so, Kap has been one of the most consistent rappers on the underground scene, producing engaging singles a breakneck pace and bookending them with engaging projects. Looking to do the same thing as he continues his Taco Tuesday series, he takes a break to unveil his impressive new EP, Astronaut Music.

Clocking in at 6-tracks, Astronaut Music is an engaging project that finds King Kap leaning more into the wavy side of things. Throughout the 10-minute runtime, Kap slices through a handful of thumping, high-energy beats as he gets out his comfort zone to deliver one of his most accessible projects yet. Utilizing Southern inspired production to his advantage, he showcases amazing stamina as he hardly takes a break throughout the project, opting to ditch splashy guest verses for a more calculated singular perspective. Standouts from the project include, the spacey trunk rattler in, “I Do,” and, “Uh Huh,” an infectious intro that finds Kap setting the tone for the rest of the EP.

Take a listen to the EP below and get familiar with the midwest emcee.
