Chino Cappin is building a devoted following with his honeyed tenor and raw lyricism. Coming through with a message for his fellow  artists on the come-up, Chino shares “On My Last,” a new single. Emoting over a trap-inflected flip of Fabolous’s 2003 hit “Can’t Let You Go,” Chino alternates heartfelt confessions (“I had some n****s I love try to finesse me”) with effortless flexes (“I been getting money, this sh*t bustin’ out my pants too/I’m Michael Jackson moonwalkin’, I’m a bad dude”) in a smoothly melodic pattern. “On My Last” follows the Alamo Records signee’s recent video for “Shine,” which has over 350k views on YouTube, and his anti-Valentine’s anthem “Fake Love.” Over the weekend, Chino shared a live performance of “Shine,” in which he is accompanied by string quartet.

Born and raised in Fort Valley, Georgia, just outside of Atlanta, Chino focused on music as a teenager as a way to escape his rough circumstances. The rapper built a cult following in the Southeast with mixtapes like Cold Hearted and Too Many Losses, which combined strong melodic instincts with braggadocious bars and clear-eyed observations about life on the streets. The 19-year-old artist built buzz with a successful college tour, turning up the heat with singles like “Lap Dance,” “NaNaNa,” and “Different,” a collaboration with YSL-affiliated rapper Yak Gotti. He’s earned praise from UPROXX and Dummy Mag, and told his story in an interview with Dirty-Glove Bastard.

Now signed to Alamo Records, Chino Cappin is ready to bring his tuneful and confident street music to the general public. Get ready for him to make major moves in the months to come, and stay tuned for a new project, coming this summer.
