Capital D (real name David J. Kelly), also known as Cap D, is an underground rapper and lawyer from Chicago, Illinois.
[1][2] Kelly started the label "All Natural" in 1997, on which he released his first album, Writer's Block (The Movie) with The Molemen, in 2002.
[4] Greg Kot praised the album as one of "the year's freshest rap releases" and wrote that "Though it lacks the cinematic production of the best East Coast hip-hop, it marks the arrival of an assertive and unusually insightful new voice in Kelly.
"[5] He released his second solo album, Insomnia, in 2004 on the same label, shortly after he received his law degree.
Insomnia was noted for its heavily political themes, which led some critics to compare it to Noam Chomsky,[6][7] and was also highlighted for addressing Kelly's newfound religion of Islam.
