Concrete Fantasia
Onoe Caponoe
2023
Concrete Fantasia by UK rapper Onoe Caponoe is a thematic concept album mixing the fantastical with the streets.
In crystal clear communication with the mothership; littered with striking references to fantastical realms and uncommon lore, but very much anchored in the inner city blocks and smoggy roadsides that inform his everyday, Concrete Fantasia is a dark fantasy tape that expertly blurs the lines between genres, tones, moods and character profiles.
Pinocchio ducking feds in the hood, an Ice King ruling over a frostbitten kingdom, The Cheshire Cat trying to clean up Alice’s act, sweet serenades to off-shore mermaids, the trials and tribulations of life in a haunted trap house, big booty witches, flying carpets and beyond, ‘Concrete Fantasia’ is a real trip through the imaginative mind of Onoe Caponoe.
“I wanted to create a record that offers up an alternate space for the listener to escape while still commenting on the highs and lows of city life.” – Onoe Caponoe
