Capital P is a Compton-bred artist whose music carries the weight of real experiences and hard-earned perspective. Raised by his grandmother, Rosetta White, in a house full of cousins, his childhood was shaped by resilience early on. With parents navigating addiction and ongoing legal struggles, stability wasn’t guaranteed. He moved throughout Los Angeles County before finally settling in Compton in 2006 at the age of eleven. That’s where life sped up, and where he truly began learning lessons firsthand, stepping into the world with his eyes open and his guard up.
Music entered his life early. Capital P wrote his first rap at just ten years old and recorded his first song by fourteen, using the studio as both an outlet and a proving ground. Growing up, his sound was influenced by a wide range of artists, from the sharp lyricism of Lil Wayne and Ludacris to the West Coast presence of The Game and Snoop Dogg, along with the timeless soul of The Temptations. That blend of eras and styles helped shape what he now calls a new West Coast, California bop—music that feels current but still rooted in where he’s from.
His journey wasn’t confined to one studio or one space. Much of his catalog has been recorded across different locations, mirroring a life spent moving, adapting, and absorbing energy wherever he landed. Outside of music, Capital P spent his younger years posted up at places like World on Wheels, Long Beach Pike, skate rinks, beaches, and local parties—spaces where culture, community, and creativity naturally collided.
His most recent release, Out The Way, continues to reflect his growth and sharpened focus, capturing the confidence of someone who knows exactly where he’s headed. With new music set to drop this February, just ahead of Valentine’s Day, Capital P is showing no signs of slowing down, staying consistent while continuing to evolve his sound.
Along the way, he’s quick to acknowledge the people who’ve supported and contributed to his journey. He gives credit to producer Fuji and a long list of collaborators and creatives who’ve helped push the vision forward, including Woepharoah, Striketeam Choppa, Kidney Full of Henny, Kevo ODY Official, Official Leelee Baby, Rhoyal Spice, TM4VSE, Kamkong KDY, and Blucifer 41. Together, they represent the community and collective energy behind the music—proof that Capital P’s story is personal, but never walked alone.
