CAPÉ:
Amr Mazen, aka Capé, is an emerging hip-hop artist from Ottawa, Canada. Born in Egypt, Capé moved to Ottawa as an immigrant student in 2015. He began writing raps in his dorm room as a means of coping with homesickness, anxiety, and college stress - which eventually turned into songs he began to share with the world.
He takes pride in calling himself a “student of the game”, which is evident through his different fusions of hip-hop. Whether it’s his modern take on 90’s old school jazz vibes or the twists he puts over more contemporary trap beats, Capé carries an unforgettable energy in his lyrics, flows, and delivery.
He currently has 6 singles available across major streaming platforms (since May 2018) and has been doing shows consistently since late 2018, focusing on growing his fan base in Ottawa and Toronto.
He most recently dropped his debut EP “Genesis” on June 21st 2019 which can be heard in the following link: http://smarturl.it/ListenGenesis
