Today, leading music label Roc Nation and global sports company PUMA are teaming up to roll out the second iteration of their collaborative Mixtape Series series.

In celebration of the launch’s intersection with the 50th Anniversary of Hip Hop this year, Roc Nation Label will debut an exclusive mixtape project featuring brand new music from the label’s hottest emerging rappers and the industry’s burgeoning producers. Cultivated as the first-of-its-kind, the collaborative project pays homage to the intersectionality between hip hop and streetwear culture.

The bespoke, Mixtape Roundtable content piece examines the legacy, influence and future of the mixtape.

The roundtable premieres tomorrow, June 27 on YouTube.

“My job is to always help open doors for those around me,” said Emory Jones who also served as executive producer on the project. “I feel like the young talent we have on this Mixtape are part of the future but more importantly they are all humble souls. Being humble sometimes helps you find that greatness within. It helped me put myself in this position to be able to do this project. It’s an honor and a pleasure to now call this our Mixtape!“

“I’m grateful that we could help bring Emory’s vision to life,” said Roc Nation co-president, Omar Grant.

“This mixtape release is an ode to the eras of hip hop and speaks to the power of collaboration,”
Roc Nation Label co-president Shari Bryant added. “This will be a defining moment to push the culture forward through music and fashion. The culture brought us this far and it’s in good hands with this new generation of artists!”

In tandem with the Mixtape Roundtable, Roc Nation Label will also be launching a new limited content series celebrating and examining mixtape culture, tapping
prolific figures in hip hop. The content will also arrive in tandem with an array of immersive in-person activations through the summer to commemorate the launch.

As part of their second Mixtape series together, Roc Nation Label and PUMA are also partnering with designer, Alexander John to release a new collaborative sneaker celebrating mixtape culture this summer.

Kapri Releases New Music Video “Light Skin Shohei”

Published

on

“Light Skin Shohei” by Kapri is an undeniable West Coast anthem that resonates with anyone who’s ever had to prove themselves in the face of doubt. Representing his hometown of Santa Ana, California, Kapri channels the essence of the West Coast sound with a bouncy, dark beat crafted by the talented producer FORTWOE. The track is an energetic declaration of self-confidence, with Kapri effortlessly laying down his message of resilience over the heavy, thumping bass and smooth yet sinister instrumentals.

From the moment the beat drops, you know you’re in for something special. FORTWOE’s production is a perfect blend of dark and bouncy, giving the track that signature West Coast feel while providing the perfect backdrop for Kapri’s assertive and charismatic delivery. The beat feels like it could knock in any late-night ride down the Pacific Coast Highway—smooth, confident, and ready to turn heads.

Lyrically, “Light Skin Shohei” is about overcoming obstacles and silencing critics. The song speaks to anyone who has been doubted or overlooked, providing an anthem of empowerment. Kapri’s confident, laid-back flow ensures the message hits home: rise above the negativity and show the world what you’re capable of. The reference to “Light Skin Shohei” even adds an extra layer of personality to the song, referencing the celebrated baseball player Shohei Ohtani and drawing a clever comparison to Kapri’s own rise, much like the athlete’s dominance in his field.

The way Kapri delivers his bars—cool, collected, yet forceful—brings out the track’s anthem-like quality. His cadence locks into FORTWOE’s beat, creating a synergy that feels both personal and universal, making it easy for listeners from all walks of life to vibe with the sentiment of success and determination.

In all, “Light Skin Shohei” is more than just a bouncy West Coast banger; it’s a powerful statement about pushing through adversity and asserting one’s place. Whether you’re cruising through the streets or listening to it at full volume to hype yourself up, this track does more than just entertain—it empowers. With Kapri at the forefront, and FORTWOE behind the boards, “Light Skin Shohei” is a track that’ll resonate for a long time to come.
