Captain_FS wants to make a meaningful contribution to hip-hop with his debut album, The Ape Tape. The project is a culmination of years of building that required patience and painstaking work, resulting in a body of work that's characteristic of most complexities of the human spirit—a composite of self-discovery, companionship, legacy, grief, overcoming, triumph and tenacity.

While he is by no means a newcomer (with more than 10 years in the game), The Ape Tape is the Free State-born and Pretoria-based emcee's first solo album. It is much needed and anticipated proof that he can step out on his own, since he was under the tutelage of one of the greatest and most celebrated South African emcees, the late PRO(Kid), for most of his career. He is also mostly known for being part of two hip-hop entities, The Skool of Hip Hop collective and the group The Assembly, which he has done extensive work with.
