About Canon
As a member of Reflection Music Group, Canon has built his name through the popular Loose Canon mixtape series, all three of which have charted on Billboard’s Top Rap Albums list His debut project, Blind World, dropped in 2011 and he learned the ropes of the game as Lecrae’s hypeman He currently resides in Nashville with his wife where he has established his own sense of home.
Canon’s journey started in Chicago, where he moved around a lot but found stability, security, and a sense of belonging with his family and church. He started attending a youth group called “The House” when he was a teenager. This is where he first came to know the Lord and began exploring his passion for rap. From there, Canon attended college in Memphis, where he had to take ownership of his identity when his peers called him “too ghetto” or did not understand the culture he came from.
A major accident in 2014 forced the rapper to put life in perspective and truly live without fear. Before the incident, he says he always felt the need for a co-sign or human affirmation for whatever he was doing in life. But now, he is confident in walking in the direction given to him by God.
Canon’s latest single “Big Dog Walking” ft. MainMain dropped at a perfect time as the world is attempting to navigate what is to come next together. Many are lost, a lot are confused and most want this to be over as soon as possible. But no matter how much of the times passes, God won’t stop holding up his end of the deal. And that’s exactly what “Big Dog Walking” infuses. No matter how little or a lot of confidence you have, he’s standing right there next to you. And who doesn’t need that right about now?
“I want my audience to know that, yes some problems are bigger than what we can handle alone but we don’t have to worry about dealing with anything alone when the Big Guy upstairs got you covered! God brought me here and I believe God will keep me here.”
