Solo career

2001-2010

In 2001, Mr. Capone-E released his second album, Last Man Standing,[2] after signing a 3-year distribution deal with Thump Records, a partner of Universal Records.

In 2002, Mr. Capone-E released his DVD, A Day in the Life of Mr. Capone followed by in 2003 his highly anticipated 3rd album, Mr. Capone-E: Dedicated to the Oldies,[2] which sold over half a million copies and still continues selling units today.

Mr. Capone-E went back to Thump who released his 5th album, Soldier Story, in 2005 and his sixth album, Zap & Mr. Capone-E Vol.1 & 2, which was widely accepted by the streets.[2]

Money issues began to surface between Mr. Capone-E and Thump, which ultimately led to unpaid royalties to Mr. Capone-E. He was advised to leave Thump based on the amount of albums he was selling per release and that any distribution house would sign him. Mr. Capone-E retained all the rights to his music released under Thump.

In 2006, Mr. Capone-E released his seventh album, distributed under SMC, Don’t get it Twisted, including the hit single “Don’t Get it Twisted” ft. Twista,[5] 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.[3]

In 2007, Mr. Capone-E signed a independent direct distribution deal with Koch and released his eighth album, Mr. Capone-E: Dedicated to the Oldies Part II in ’08, which peaked at #17 on the Top Heatseekers Albums Chart[3] and #66 on the Billboard R&B/ Hip Hop Album.[3]

In 2009, Mr. Capone-E released his ninth album, Diary of a G, including the hit single “Light my Fire” ft. Snoop Dogg and collaborations with The Game and Glasses Malone, which peaked at #18 on the Billboard Rap Album Charts and #24 on the Top Heatseekers Album Charts.[3]

Following the releases of his highly successful albums, Mr. Capone-E released The Blue Album in 2010 and Mr. Capone-E: Tears of a Soldier for his fans.[2]

Hi Power Entertainment

Mr. Capone-E began to sign more underground artists which was the birth of Hi-Power Entertainment, Mr. Capone-E’s record label.[6]

Under Hi Power Ent., Mr. Capone-E signed over 30 artists including heavy-hitters like the iconic Bizzy Bone and Layzie Bone of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Suga Free, MC Eiht and Lil Flip.
