Onoe Caponoe
Psychedelic hip hop influenced by the ethereal space funk of Funkadelic and Sun Ra, the stripped back rawness of punk rock and the unpredictable nature of psychedelic rock.
According to The Wire, “Onoe Caponoe has been meandering through fevered dioramas fusing Lewis Carroll and George Clinton with hazy abandon, riding his own wave oblivious in the expectation his audience will catch up. His latest album ‘Concrete Fantasia’ feels like an artist out of his shell demanding attention, facing up to his demons, capturing the manic psychedelic energy of his live shows, progressing from purveyor of interesting diversions into enlightened tour guide for a better, or at least more colorful, sequence of realities.”
Bio – Concrete Fantasia:
In crystal clear communication with the mothership; littered with striking references to fantastical realms and uncommon lore, but very much anchored in the inner city blocks and smoggy roadsides that inform his everyday, ‘Concrete Fantasia’ is a dark fantasy tape that expertly blurs the lines between genres, moods and character profiles.
Of this world and out-of-this-world perfectly poised; Onoe offering up escape portals, before quickly pulling the listener back in with wave-upon-wave of catdelix riptides. ‘Concrete Fantasia’ is something of a tug-of-war; peppering movie samples, vignettes and complex go-betweens tickling the senses, combining with a cacophony of mind-bending lyricism resulting in a singular journey, with Onoe confidently filling the shoes of both author and narrator.
Pinocchio ducking feds in the hood, an Ice King ruling over his frostbitten kingdom, The Cheshire Cat trying to clean up Alice’s act, sweet serenades to off-shore mermaids, the trials and tribulations of life in a haunted trap house, big booty witches, flying carpets and beyond, ‘Concrete Fantasia’ is a real trip through the imaginative mind of Onoe Caponoe.
With an eclectic line-up of featured artists including Lil B, Lealani and Stones Throw vocalist Sofie Royer, and a multi-genre production team propping up the fictional cast, ‘Concrete Fantasia’ has all the makings of an alt-rap odyssey for the ages.
