Memphis Rapper Al Kapone Writes Music For Black Snake Moan
Al Kapone most notably known as one of the pioneers of the Memphis rap scene started his career in the late 80's. He started out with underground tapes and had a hit local single titled "Lyrical Driveby". In 1994 Al Kapone hooked up with Basix records to drop his first nationwide album Sinista Funk, which featured the hit song Lyrical Driveby he did in 1991. In 1995 he dropped his most memorable project "Da Resurrection" on Priorty records which went on to be a instant hit and is now considered a classic by many. Al Kapone has already had success with his own label Alkatraz Productions but decided to expand his fanbase in the late 90's by hooking up with bay area pioneer E-40. The two hooked up on such projects as Al's "Memphis To The Bombed Out Bay Compilaton" & Al's next solo "Going All Out". Al Kapone still felt the need to keep the strength of his label going dropping a series of compilations such as Memphis Drama 1-4, Alkatraz Riderz, as well as albums by Taylor Boyz.
Kapone won a 2005 Critic's Choice Award for the song "Hustle and Flow (It Ain't Over)," which he wrote for the movie "Hustle and Flow." He just finished music for a new movie called "Black Snake Moan," starring Samuel L. Jackson and Justin Timberlake.
The plot of Black Snake moan follows A God-fearing bluesman (Jackson) takes to a wild young woman (Ricci) who, as a victim of childhood sexual abuse, looks everywhere for love, never quite finding it. The movie also stars southern rapper David Banner in his big screen debut.
