Rapping professionally since the age of 13, Jason Watson, a.k.a. Capito the N.O.Capo developed his passion for music while working as a radio DJ at WWOZ radio. Just two years later, he made his first recording, a song titled "Dreams."

Capito distinguishes himself among other rappers because he makes real music. He incorporates an eclectic mix of jazz, hip-hop, blues, classical, soft rock, and more in each of his songs. Music has always been his escape. It's kept him focused and directed away from costly distractions like living in a high crime area in New Orleans, having close friends murdered at a young age, and getting trapped by the streets. Later Capito began working in the business side of the industry with Lil Wayne. This exposure contributes to his special approach to business in the hip-hop genre.

While touring the states with Lil Wayne, Capito had a major turning point in his career. He saw his hometown, New Orleans, devastated by hurricane Katrina. Suddenly, his entire family was uprooted from his native city and forced to relocate.

Capito went back home to see what he could salvage. One of the few things untouched was his old rhyme book and a copy of his first song dreams.

This experience prompted a new chapter in Capito's career. Capito understood now was the time to pursue his own dreams in the music industry and give up touring with Lil Wayne. He decided to build upon the notoriety he had established and start his own label. With the help of his older brother Dwatt and good friends Rocko, Five, and Slim, Capito formed Forever Living Young Entertainment. They released "F.L.Y. Entertainment presents Capito the N.O. Capo......Creole Bled Vol. 1," which has created a huge buzz across the country.

Now armed with a big following and ever bigger demand for his music, Capito is aiming to reach new heights in the industry. He'll be releasing the most anticipating mixtape of the year called "City Under Siege" in early 08'.
