Combining the feel-good party-based rhymes of the time with space-age subject matter and futuristic production, NIA-released singles such as \u201cThe Return Of Capt. Rock\u201d and \u201cCosmic Blast\u201d went on to become regarded as classics, not least by Hip-Hop heads here in the UK thanks to the regular inclusion of the Captain on the groundbreaking StreetSounds \u201cElectro\u201d compilation series.<\/p>\n<p>In this interview, the man who came from Pluto and aimed to make you dance talks about coming up with Dr. Jeckyll &amp; Mr. Hyde, working with the Aleem brothers and performing at London\u2019s huge UK Fresh \u201986 event.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read the interview <a href=\"http:\/\/oldtothenew.wordpress.com\/2013\/05\/11\/old-to-the-new-qa-captain-rock\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a> and hit continue reading to watch footage from his 2011 performance at UK Fresh.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g3L-qQvHlAk\" height=\"344\" width=\"100%\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tKHtu8xIljE\" height=\"344\" width=\"100%\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4ndlsqJNN5c\" height=\"344\" width=\"100%\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although his career on wax may have been relatively brief (spanning just four short years&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-interviews","category-videos"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pG6fW-h4d","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65609","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65609"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65609\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
