2024 is about to end, yet CAP THA WISEGUY wouldn’t let it pass without some great music, thus releasing his twelve-track collection “Perfectly Capable” to end it with some bangin’! Listening to this album feels like reflecting on things that had happened the whole year—the hardships, the losses, the wins, and the greatness are all packed into this project that reveals the core of CAP THA WISEGUY, making it deeply connecting, especially to those who’s continuously fighting and living for their dreams.
The collection opens with the track “L.E.G.E.N.D.” a powerful track that perfectly wraps the idea of personal ambition and perseverance in a piece. This is a hit track, and honestly, a strong opening packed in heavy bass beats and satisfying rhymes as brought by the skillful and clean rap delivery of the artist. It is an inspiring track, and the line “The broken clock does not stop the time” has a certain punch as the artist reminds the listeners to keep moving forward even if hardships are in plain sight.
“I Still Love H.E.R.” comes in with a surprise for me with its sound that shifts the vibe through its soulful-pop-infused opener. Because of its unique vibe from the rest of the tracks, this ranks high on my top favorite list on this collection—it’s just different but in all the best ways. I’m particularly enamored because of the half-time delay in the beats that play throughout the track; it’s something new to my ears, and it caught my attention immediately. It is a clever pinch that makes the whole delivery unpredictable, which cements the style and musicality of CAP THA WISEGUY as he delivers lines about genuine love that stick.
“On My Own” is also another personal favorite. With its collaboration with another talented artist R. Cineus, the whole track exudes authentic energy that is warm and friendly. In this track, CAP THA WISEGUY has managed to deliver his raps like a friendly conversation: clear, honest, sincere, and grounded. The easy and clean production of this track with the added friendly warmth that is brought by the performance of R. Cineus makes this piece an easy listen and sends in a clear reminder that “people may support you or not on your chosen path, but at the end of the day, everything is all about you and the things you chose to do and the roads you decide to take.”.
With “Figure It Out As I Go,” this track comes in with a drive and determined energy that I liked. It is different from the usual grungy and anguish energy that most of the hip-hop songs carry, but this one is on the hopeful and inspiring side. In this piece, the artist recognizes that life is unpredictable and no plans and enough preparation can arm you when it slaps. It is a message to continue moving forward because eventually, as you go through it, you’ll know what to do. Another wise composition from the artist; sure enough, this one is also motivating.
“Poser Petes,” on the other hand, perfectly stood out for its eerie vibe brought by the ghostly acoustic guitar strums in the background, adding a haunting touch to the collection. This is where CAP THA WISEGUY has something to say about people who do music for clout rather than passion and authenticity. And when this artist starts speaking, it lands precisely where it wants to hit. This track has made me think of how I consume the media that artists provide, and yes, we’re in for authentic, heartfelt, great-sounding, and catchy projects just like this.
CAP THA WISEGUY is clever when it comes to his sound. His delivery is precise, his lines are well thought out, and the words on each track scream high-caliber technical skills. His music does give off that kind of vibe like it was spoken by a wise man, and to hear more from this artist, tracks “Aiyyo Fuck ‘Em,” “That Right Balance,” “Free Your Mind,” “Daydreamin’,” and “Worth Tha While” are also featured in this collection so be sure to check it out!
The collection closes with the track “Immortality,” with its repetitive electronic beats and rock-ish undertones that amplify CAP THA WISEGUY’s burst of energy throughout the piece. It is an impressive track that packs the whole idea of dedication and perseverance to leave a lasting impression on the listeners. It is like a statement of the artist – he’s here so listen to him — a powerful finish for one helluva-packed album.
Just like what its title promises, “Perfectly Capable” is an album that is packed with the artist’s heart, grit, and story.
