1. The most recent of which, Aaron "Canon" McCain, Christian rap artist:
Canon emerged from the wreck only to realize there was a propane tank behind the tree that couldāve exploded and led to tragedy....
An alias representative of the greatest book in all of literature, coincidentally homonymous with rapid-fire weaponry, carries lofty expectations and growing anticipation. Yet, this Midwest-born rapperās aim is not to leave people in awe of his knowledge and delivery but to give the words of eternal lifeā66 books, 2 clips and 1 Canon.
Aaron āCanonā McCain was born in Chicago, Illinois, in a lower middle class area, but violence and crime would soon force his parents to journey throughout the state in hopes of finding a safe environment for him and his two older siblings. And while Canonās parents were married and present in his life, his dad worked at night and rested during the day; so his mom took on a more influential role. As an employee at Moody Bible Institute, she would try to teach her kids about God and made sure the family went to church. But for Canon, church wasnāt a place where he heard solid, biblical doctrine; it was more of a family affair. His grandfather was the pastor, dad played the piano, mom sang and everyone else was expected to attend but usually had ulterior motives. Yet, those religious surroundings may have kept him from turning to a life of crime like those in his neighborhoodābeing shot at over a bike when he was just a kid could have been a catalyst for violence because it did scare him enough to make him carry a weapon, but anything more than a cap gun was off limits. Nevertheless, Canonās penchant for mischief did turn him into a modern-day, urban Dennis the Menace. At the tender age of seven, while living in Maywood, he joined a clique of youngsters who threw mud pies at houses and played pranks at school. But as kids mature, their propensity for troublemaking often leads to more dangerous territory. In high school, his friends joined gangs, and although he didnāt, he wasnāt just playing pranks anymore. Canon became rebellious against authority, skipped school and got involved in violent activity.
Despite his disregard for life, he still couldnāt shake the reality that struck him at the age of 13. His mom had taken him to a Christian summer camp the previous year where he was recognized for his model behavior, but he came back home and his misconduct resumed. One day, while riding in the car with his relatives, they struck a tree and the car was totaled. Canon emerged from the wreck only to realize there was a propane tank behind the tree that couldāve exploded and led to tragedy. That moment, he knew God was saying, āI could take your life nowā¦you didnāt go to camp for nothing!ā So in between misbehaving in school and around the neighborhood, Canon grew more curious about God and wanted to try rapping about things he was learning at his church. He had also begun making his own beats and rapping with his friends, but there was no place for rap at his grandfatherās traditional church. Hoping to finally grab the mic and rock the stage, Canon started attending a Hip Hop church called The House. However, the lead pastor was more concerned about his relationship with God rather than his ability to rap about him. Pastor Phil and several other brothers at the church began pouring into Canon and as a result, he gradually came to know the Lord. Within a year, he had left behind his childish ways, was performing at The House and had an ever-growing desire to know more about the Lord.
After high school, he left Illinois and came to Memphis to attend Bible College. He had also met Lecrae when he visited The House, so when he came to the South, Canon linked up with him, Pro, Chad Jones and others in Tennessee. He eventually had to leave school for financial reasons, but the knowledge and wisdom he was gaining from being in community with older brothers allowed him to grow beyond that of his formal education. And although he was now surrounded by budding rappers, his focus was on maturing in the faith; but they soon encouraged him to take all he was learning and share it through music. Canon took their advice and in 2009 dropped The Great Investment mixtape, which hit the Internet a year later to favorable reviews and caught the attention of listeners around the world. He has since been featured on Lecraeās Rehab: The Overdose and several Reflection Music projects, as well as currently serving as hype man for Lecrae as he tours the country.
Canon recently joined Reflection Music Group and now lives in Atlanta where he is preparing a full-length free album to be released this year. His desire is to contribute truth to culture while being true to who he is as an artist and a young person that is also influenced by culture. Canon wants his music and his life to inspire others to repent and trust in Christ, but also encourage believers to ābe you in light of a biblical worldview.ā
2. The now defunct Los Angeles rock group Canon (Mercury Records), comprised of Jason Turbin, Benji Pope, Cassidy Turbin, and Tieg Johnson. They received much attention in the LA music scene from 2006-2007 for their eclectic sound, garnering comparisons to King Crimson, Pink Floyd, and Radiohead. Their singles Wide Awake, Euromatic, and S.O.S. from their debut album "Wide Awake" received widespread attention and radio play.

3. āCanon was a short lived Philadelphia area band, Doylestown to be exact. Vegan straight edge was ascending in status throughout the hardcore scene. These youngsters picked up āFirestormā and must have been immensely inspired by it. Canon drew influences from the burgeoning Syracuse hardcore scene. At times they remind me of Earth Crisis, Green Rage, and what Morning Again would later go on to do. Their live shows were decent and the kids seemed into what they were doing.ā - Coregasm (http://coregasm.blogspot.com/2006/06/canon-solution-7.html
4. Canon was a reggae band from Skopje, Macedonia.

Walk With Me
CANON Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you don't understand my lingo
Break it down
Ain't never been the places we go
Break it down
The road I been walking it got that polish
Break it down
Bring yo lighters and torches when following
I'm starving, I got an appetite for better places
This current residence is done, disintegrating
Following hope is what We bank on start chasing
The glory of God was spotted like it was Dalmatian
Discovered when looking for answers in many places
Realize we don't
Trust God, in our nation
A penalty paid when unbelieving its damnation, You better follow Or find out your Final destination
Death!
I'm sick and tired of my inner nature
Been waiting to travel the road of redemption and restoration
This current earth of oppression is only D pressing
In deed pressing I am, to find the land sacred
If You need the escape then walk with me
I'm the feet and hands of Eli with God in me
That book it dwells in the heart it's to keep my arms empty
I'm armed been ready to travel knowing that God sent me
I Look around me all i saw was total destruction
Depraved hearted debased minds that can't function
I was the same I entertained immoral corruption I tampered with fire
The blaze of a woman's seduction
I gained a little but died tryna be satisfied
Was chained down to my pride And handed lust to the eye
Became blind to that real beauty
I stood craving, a place of peace in my heart beyond our imagination
I gotta move on, it ain't no hope here
Not even the east or west would want to coast here
People get murdered you'll find bodies that float here
Cuz that burner a turn A Thorough bread to toast here
You better come around follow follow
There's peace in the land where the fathers name is hallowed hallowed
Knowing that where you been living is vanity is hard to swallow come to salvation
Grace through faith the motto y'all know!
In the hook of CANONās song, āWalk With Me,ā he details the journey he is taking towards spiritual enlightenment and redemption while asking others to join him. The first line of the hook, āWhat you donāt understand my lingo, break it downā suggests that he is speaking a language unfamiliar to some and is inviting them to join him in breaking down and understanding his words. He then goes on to describe the places heās been and the road heās walking on which he deems polished. CANON then encourages his listeners to bring lighters and torches to light their own paths after him.
The second half of the hook makes it clear that CANON is seeking an escape from his current state of existence. He describes his current residence as ādisintegratingā and ādepressingā and hopes to move on to a place of peace beyond his imagination. CANONās past is marred with immorality and corruption. He describes how he was chained to his own pride and blinded by worldly lust. However, he states that he is ready to move on and is armed for the journey ahead. The song ends with an invitation to follow him to a place where the fatherās name is hallowed and salvation is granted through grace.
