Who is Kapitol G? KGP? Kapitol G is the Stephen King of acid rap. The roots of KGP can be traced back to this cassette. White G (KGP) began his career as a gangsta rapper in 1993 when he dropped he is first single "Neva Afraid" on Laraza Records. Laraza Records was an independent record label based in the local Saginaw, Michigan area in the 1990s. Timothy Houser and Darryl Turner were the brainchildren behind Laraza Records.
Laraza Records was only interested in gangsta rap at the time. The producers told KGP to do gangsta rap or nothing else. KGP was young and anxious to record and release music. So he agreed on these terms. He accepted the contract, but later regretted his decision. Laraza Records pretty much owned KGP as an artist.
However KGP wasn’t a gangsta rapper nor was he a gangsta. His fans knew that too from the jump. This led KGP he was unsatisfied with Laraza Records and decided to create his own record company called Mentality Records in 1994.
This single was not a huge success but was a minor success in the Saginaw rap scene in the early 90s. 256 copies of this cassette were sold. No CD single was ever put out. The cassette tape is out of print and considered a collectors item among Saginaw rap fans. Fans of acid rap will definitely enjoy this cassette.
Never Afraid is song about not being afraid of death. Which is why the song is given the title it has henceforth. The song itself very much death themed. White G is not afraid to stand up to what he believes in or conquer his own fears.
Middle Finga is where White G gives big “Fuck you!” to all the haters everywhere. White G also gives a middle to the devil.
I rate this single, Never Afraid, 4/5****!
