Capital Ode, Mouse Sucks, Lady Ma MaC Mrs. & GisforJarett at Perch in Brooklyn

Last Sunday Childs' Play and the Why Not? crew made their way out to the slope (Park Slope, Brooklyn) and passed around the mic at Perch Cafe. It was a night filled with fried twinkies, dancing, music and fire spitting (no, litterally). Watch the video if you don't believe me!

P.S. - I, Capital Ode, am having a video shoot for my second single out in Brooklyn Bridge Park on Saturday, October 22nd. Come out and chill with us!

oh and here are some pictures :)

Childs' Play at Perch Cafe

Last night the Childs' Play crew was live at Perch Cafe in Brooklyn. Mouse Sucks and I took turns on the mic with the homies ErLy Bird & Lady Ma MaC Mrs.. It was a dope open mic and we all had a lot of fun so here's a little footage.
Mouse Sucks - 'Full Moon'

Capital Ode - 'Whatsername & SoAndSo'

This is always something to look forward to after every show, The Victory Dance!

Acting a Fool after Performing at Perch Cafe

So last Sunday I was at Perch Cafe for their weekly open mic with Mouse Sucks & Lady Ma MaC Mrs.. It was a crazy night. Here's a little footage of me bugging out as we wait for the (F) train

In Loving Memory of Learie "Family" Corbin

"Every place I go, Every face I see

I pray they'll stay with me, I pray you'll stay with me

I'm doing this for y'all (Oh Oh Oh)

I'm doing this for y'all (Oh Oh Oh)"

 Last week someone passed away that was near and dear to me and a lot of people I know. Mr. Corbin, better known as Family, was a program director at Bedford Academy High School & spent his time finding ways for the youth to express themselves. Whether it was poetry slams, open mics or bringing people to school to show us a little more about the real world. I'll never forget when he brought Sadat X of the legendary group Brand Nubian to our schools cafeteria. We even got a chance to have a cipher with him. Family was always inviting us to different events so that we would get a chance to do our thing and witness others as they do their thing.
 The last time I saw Family was at a Perch Cafe (Park Slope, Brooklyn) open mic. He came out to support me, Mouse Sucks & Lady Ma MaC Mrs. performing that night. That night, after we had performed, the announcer introduced somebody going by the name of D.I.R.T.. This person turned out to be none other than Family himself. When asked why he chose to refer to himself as dirt that night he simply said that he was the soil helping us young seeds grow.

 With that being the last time we saw Mr. Corbin, I thought it was only right that we make our way back to Perch Cafe in honor of him. So Sunday, February 27th we made our way to a packed house at Perch Cafe and did our thing the way Mr. Corbin would have wanted us to. He was always so positive and supportive towards our dreams and endeavors that it would be wrong to give them up now.

 I dedicate the lyrics above to the memory of Learie "Family" Corbin and follow them with the lyrics below

"On our way to my show, Just me and my bro

Know you gon' meet us there so I ain't never scared"
