The Giant Blast: How long have you been rhyming?
Da Kaptain AKA Yatta: I have been rhyming for around 15 years now.
What inspired you to rhyme?
Watching dudes freestyle in the staircase of my building in Bronx New York.
How would you describe your style?
Lyrical word play with a bit of Southern Swag.

You also have a label, Race City Records, could you tell us a little bit about that and the artists you have signed?
Race City Records provides musical support for local artists, Dj's and Producers in my area. This includes studio time, photo shoots, Videos, Demos, etc. Right now we are working with Slick Da Prince, J Simi Smooth, Ty Cross, Big Grip, and other independent labels in the area.

Its hard to say what the future holds for us. I will be satisfied with still being able to make music for our fans and continue to help artists grow.
Speaking of Race City, you also Race... would you tell the fans a little about that?
Yes I do. I am a tire changer for Kevin Harvick Inc in all three Nascar series. The #2 Craftsman truck, the #33 Nationwide car, and the #78 Sprint cup car.

Besides that, what does Da Kaptain get into outside of music?
Not much my time is used up throughout race season. Might find me on the PS3 playing call of duty when I have free time.

Getting back to the music, where do you see yourself as an artist in 5 years?
In 5 years I can see myself running the label full time with a few top ten billboard hits under the belt. Is there anything else you would like to plug, any shout outs?
Shout out to Big Grip, Slick Da Prince, J-Simi Smooth, R-sin flame, first capital management, Smokehouse music group, and Made MenEnt.
