![]() I’ve got some other people I really like but some of them I just worked with and I’m not trying to spoil too many surprises today!Īs far as producers Yung DZA is amazing of course. Just an incredible lyricist with such strong delivery. His track “Schea Cotton” a couple months ago is just crazy man for anyone who hasn’t heard that. ![]() I have always have fucked with Kxng Crooked’s music since he was Crooked I. GEH: What are some other artists and producers you’re feeling right now?Ĭanyon: As far as artists, my favorites ever are 2pac, Raekwon, Kiss, and then like I said, I also am inspired by the creative guys like Kid Cudi or SAINt JHN. Lately, there’s been a kind of counter culture of people who miss lyrical hip hop and as someone with nasty bars coming out the gate, I’m here for it. I think that’s the nature of the beast that sometimes a garbage rapper is gonna cut the line and we just have to accept it, but the game is for sure thriving more when lyrics are prioritized and everyone’s trying to outdo each other. While I do think at least a few of the biggest rappers at any given moment are dope lyricists, there are a big handful of insane rappers who don’t get near their due. GEH: We’re seeing a little resurgence of bars and lyricism right now, do you think this style will make it’s way back to the mainstream?Ĭanyon: I’m glad you asked that, because I do think that’s happening. I remember watching a live performance of his song “Why” with Anthony Hamilton as a kid over and over again in awe, so I really gotta pinch myself with this record man. I’m happy the less in the know hip-hop fans around the world found out about his genius from the Verzuz, but to me Kiss has been in that Jay-Z category of generational rappers for a long time. Kiss is really one of my all time favorite rappers and biggest inspirations. Jadakiss’ verse on this song is so on theme with the record and so crisp and well done, it’s crazy man. “Reservations” is an anthem really about independence and not wanting help from fake people who want to use you. The song is produced by Yung DZA who recently produced Cardi B’s #1 “Up.” He fucked with it, then Jada fucked with it, and the rest was history. I had the beat for “Reservations” with my hook on it in my back pocket and I sent it to him and asked about it. There was another song I was about to suggest to Jada but Don told me wasn’t sure the beat was a fit. Tell us about the record and how it came together.Ĭanyon: I got connected with Jadakiss through Raekwon’s brother Don, who separately has really taught me a lot of game and is an outstanding dude. GEH: You’re back now following up strong with your new joint with the legendary Jadakiss dropping today. My main goal is trying to make a legacy though and put my soul on wax. Some rappers just want to get a deal or some money or some fame, clout whatever and that’s cool. Since the pandemic hit I quit my job and just went crazy with it, all the way in. ![]() The past year I’m definitely on some different shit though. I’m a deep person plus I live in CA and I’m from NY and I’m trying to get ON, so it just fit. Canyon felt right the second it dawned on me. For a while I had no rap name, I just didn’t want to commit to anything I didn’t identify with strongly. I’ve been recording for a decade now and at one point had a deal with a small label where they’d pay for my studio time. I’ve been recording for years, but as far as putting songs out on the streaming platforms, “Shark Tank” is the first song I’ve ever officially put out. Were you making music under a different name/project prior to that song or is that really your first record as an artist.Ĭanyon: First of all thank you, really humbled by all of that. Raekwon, a huge success, will hit a 1M streams before long. GEH: You really hit the ground running with your first drop ever “Shark Tank” feat. As for my style, I really have always appreciated two styles of rapping super creative rap and just up straight bars. Those are just the first two of many I have coming by the way. Now that the new single “Reservations” just dropped, I’ve officially released two songs so far with some incredible co-signs and features. (Where you from etc, describe sound.)Ĭanyon: Whatsup Nick! I’m Canyon, I’m from New York but just moved to LA. For those who don’t know, introduce yourself and your music.
