Mr. Capone-E

Fahd Azam (born April 27, 1976), known professionally as Mr. Capone-E, is an American rapper. He is the owner of the record label Hi-Power Entertainment.

He grew up around gangs and became a Sureño. He was incarcerated at 18, and while serving time he decided he wanted to pursue a career in hip-hop.

Career 2000–2005: Career beginnings

Mr. Capone-E released his first solo album in 2000 titled Mr. Capone E & The Southsiders independently through his label Hi Power. This album received a lot of buzz and caught the attention of Thump Records. He signed a three-year distribution deal and released his next album Last Man Standing in 2001. In 2003 Mr Capone E released his third album Dedicated To The Oldies which he claims sold over one million records through swap meets and discotecas. which peaked at #18 on the Top Heatseekers Album Chart, #25 on the Independent Albums Chart and #68 on the Billboard R&B/Rap Albums.

2014–2016: Attempts to crack the mainstream, No Regrets, and For Respect

In 2014, Mr. Capone E started working on two albums, No Regrets and For Respect. These albums have more of a mainstream sound to his previous albums, collaborating with artists such as Migos, French Montana, Ray J, and DJ Mustard. To support the albums he released the mixtape Los Angeles Times. The albums were released in 2016.

2017: 12 albums in 12 months In 2017, he released an album every month. He did this because he felt that he was not active musically over the past few years and needed to release a lot of music to become more relevant.

2018–present: Narco Valley, autobiography, and other ventures After releasing those 12 albums, Mr. Capone-E chose to focus more on building his label Hi Power and sign more up and coming talent.

On March 13, 2018, he made his film debut in Narco Valley.

He is also currently working on releasing his autobiography Who Am I detailing his childhood, his family and ethnicity, and his life and career.

Hi Power Entertainment Mr. Capone-E founded Hi Power Records in 2000 with the release of his debut album. The independent label launched the career of fellow Chicano rap super star Mr. Criminal.

The label originally was only made up of Chicano rappers in his area, but as the label gained more popularity he signed artists like Bizzy Bone and Layzie Bone of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Lil Flip, MC Eiht, Bad Azz, and Suga Free, among others.
