Capow x 2G is a Norwegian rap duo featuring Bruno Capodistrias (born 2008), known as 'Capow', and Imanuel Kimani (born 2010), known as '2G'. Bruno is from Oslo, while Imanuel is from Kløfta. The two met on Snapchat.

Capow x 2G rose to fame in March 2022, when they were just 12 and 14 years old, with their single "31st Floor." The track reached Spotify's top 10 list, garnered over 6 million streams, and inspired more than 5,000 unique TikTok videos. The song was inspired by the duo's adventures sneaking into the Radisson Oslo Plaza to ride the glass elevator to the 31st floor.

The duo's first summer hit came in June 2022 with "Sør Afrika," a collaboration with the band Beathoven. The song shot to the top of the VG chart and has been streamed over 20 million times. In the same month, Capow x 2G performed "31st Floor" and "Sør Afrika" at Scandinavia's biggest free concert, VG-lista. They were later nominated for Spellemannprisen's Song of the Year for "Sør Afrika," which also earned four platinum records. In 2022, Capow x 2G appeared on TV shows such as P3aksjonen, Klassequizzen, and Lindmo.

In 2023, Capow x 2G released the summer hit "Alt jeg ser" featuring Emma Gunnersen. The song garnered over 5 million views on TikTok and earned a gold record. Fans enjoyed live performances of the track at both Norway Cup and VG-lista. The duo also toured extensively, performing at more than 20 concerts across Norway in 2023. In November, they released their debut album "Rapstars," which includes hits like "31 Etasje," "Sør Afrika," and "Alt jeg ser," along with new tracks such as "Rapstar" and "Different," featuring Rambow. The music video for "Rapstar" was filmed in Mallorca.

In 2024, the duo released their third summer hit, "En gang til" and are set to perform at Parkteatret in Oslo in September. Capow x 2G will also tour Norway, with over 20 concerts scheduled throughout the year.
