His newest album, Vibe Responsibly Vol. 1, marks a significant milestone in his career. Describing the album’s release, Capella is all energy. “It’s a movie,” he tells Remixd Magazine. The album embodies his philosophy of bringing the vibe wherever he goes, hence the title Vibe Responsibly. “We be outside, we the vibe wherever we go,” he says, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and self-awareness in his music.

This dynamic is evident in the album’s collaborations, featuring artists like Young M.A, Jacquees, and Dream Doll. “I chose people who would match the vibe of the song,” he says. Moreover, he carefully curated each collaboration to fit the album’s overall feel.
