DJ Kid Capri - WBLS 1987

Who says Italians and Blacks don't get along.  Here is living proof, the half African American, half Italian Bronx born Kid Capri aka. David Anthony Love Jr.  Kid Capri started Deejaying at the wee age of 8 on his family's old Zenith stereo system.  He rose to prominence at the infamous Studio 54.  Capri and his onetime partner Starchild bolstered their fame by selling tapes of their sets.  Capri is the Prime Minister of Mixtapes recognizing early the profit potential therein.

Kid Capri is also a Producer having produced songs by BDP, Heavy D (RIP), Foxy Brown, The Lox, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, KRS-ONE, Slick Rick, Mary J. Blige, Busta Rhymes, The Lost Boys, Brand Nubian, Camron, Noreaga, Big Pun, Da Ranjahz, Big L and Jermaine Dupri.   He has released his own album and spent 7 years as the DJ for the Def Comedy Jam.

Capri is easily the most recognizable DJ to the general public due largely to his TV exposure, film work ("Who's The Man") and his extensive touring with multi-platinum artists such as Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, L.L. Cool J, Busta Rhymes, Foxy Brown, NAS, Lil' Kim, Mase, Jay-Z, Usher, R-Kelly, Mary J. Blige, Dru Hill, Ginuwine and Aaliyah.
