We all love the classic posse cut made famous by the Juice Crew with ‘The Symphony’. Ever since the Marley Marl classic we began to see a monster trend from Scenario, Da Headbanger, Banned From TV, and 4321. I know there are others that I could mention. It’s the anthem track that sets the tone and allows for the emcee to display their wordplay and creativity. Enter Sticaboo: He and his CAPSTOWN ENT. have quietly been building their sound and audience in the DMV.
So we had to ask. Who is Sticaboo? Also, can you tell us how the name Da Carrier was created?
Sticaboo is an MC name I had given myself in the early 1990s. My style is spiritual and lyrically insane from another realm of Hip Hop. (Stica) is sharp with words and unseen as the soul (Boo) is but felt while being heard. Da Carrier was given to me from the streets. A homie of mine by the name “Cono” started calling me that after an incident outside of a club one night. However, I decided to make it known for the one who carries the mic and the one who carries peace and love no matter the hell storm I have felt.
Your new single “Feeling It” features production by New Jeruse. How did you link up?
New Jeruse is a good homie of mine whom I have been doing music occasionally with since the ’90s. I was in a rap group named “Nights of the Round Table” from Blair High School and during this era I ran into New Jeruse.
Can you tell us a little more about CAPSTOWN ENT?
CAPSTOWN ENT started out moving forward by connecting with artists that were already in the music circle around me. CAPSTOWN is the motivation of brothers and sisters that wanted to rise above and use their talents to gain success in a much more positive manner. CAPSTOWN represents capitalizing from the inner city of D.C.
How have you navigated through the pandemic? Do you feel it has helped and developed your sound and creativity?
The pandemic has given me time to hone in and focus on my entire music career and what needs to be executed. I have had time to actually master and grow spiritually in my creativity within my music.
What else can you tell our listeners regarding your forthcoming music and where can they find you?
I am currently mastering and creating a new album that will definitely be a ride of life with all original sounds from another realm, the Alpha and Omega of Hip Hop.
