Long before he ever stepped up to a mic himself, Capital C was building the game from the inside. The Rustenburg native cut his teeth in the industry back in 2016, managing artists and learning the business end of music — the deals, the studio sessions, the hustle behind the scenes — all while holding down his own 9 to 5.
