I like the expressionistic part of music. Like how you can say the craziest thoughts, feelings, and emotions inside of you, put it in over instruments, put it out—and then you find there are people that feel exactly the same as you do. I spend all of my free time writing or recording.
He is best known for his songs “Mary Jane”, “Lonely” and “KAANCEPTS.” All of these songs were all produced and recorded in mid to late 2015, except “Mary Jane,” which was released in June 2016, and “KAANCEPTS”, a remix of Dr. Dre’s “Deep Cover”. All three tracks feature the fast bars, pessimistic perspective and huge vocabulary common to most of his music.
"I work best when I’m just left alone, so I’m always isolated without any real human interaction, so its cool that I can be cut off from the world, but still be able to express my self and the way I feel."
K.A.A.N. has currently released 9 albums and 5 mixtapes.

K.A.A.N. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't think that I can get over all of my problems
I've been thinking 'Who the fuck am I to disagree?'
I heard I'm pretty dope so I guess I gotta oblige
Inside, I been plotting on a way that we can elevate
Means if i gotta chop up your skin i never hesitate
i put a lot of time into the craft, i make it rezonate
i regulate with repetition, i could be the greatest
man I'm in mind of the ignorance so when i'm in it
I make it relatable
evading negativity at all costs
Tryna find my way up in this [?]
Find me in the zone, i gotta focus
But that can be an issue, i'm addicted to the work
it's all i ever want to do, pursue the purpose that I'm bleeding for
and need it more than pity man
than minisculed opinions
picking a part of you, immaculate
heavenly and pathetic [?]
and naturally authentic,
this sentence is sentimental like the words are just a piece of my soul, lord
i transcended to the artist that i wanna be
i demonstrate my dominance and derilect with dialect
my ettiquette is excellence, i dedicate my all to this
i solemnely swear that i seranade with selections
and different [?]
and when i want the truth then they present to me

Lyrics :
Aight, let's do it
Think you're alright
I don't think I really got it
I don't think that I can get over all of my problems
I've been thinking, who the fuck am I to disagree?
I heard I'm pretty dope so I guess I gotta oblige
Inside, I been plotting on a way that we can elevate
A massacre to chop up your skin I never hesitate
I put a lot of time into the craft, I make it resonate
I regulate with repetition, I could be the greatest
But half of me illogical, the other half elated
Practice on the pages that I got in my attendant mind
I minimise the ignorance so in a minute I make it relatable
Evade the negativity at all costs
Tryna find my way I'm feelin' so lost
Finally in the zone, I gotta focus
But that can be an issue, I'm addicted to the work
It's all I ever wanna do, pursue the purpose that I'm bleeding for
And need it more than pity man, than miniscule opinions
Picking apart the immaculate, happily apathetic and actually authentic
This sentence is sentimental, like the words are just a piece of my soul
Lord
I transcended to the artist that I wanna be
I demonstrate my dominance, a derilect with dialect
My etiquette is excellence, I dedicate my all to this
I solemnely swear that I seranade with selections
And different cadences to kill it
Really givin' that in this and anyone that wants the truth
Then we present to be identified, I live a meager life
I'm motivated by progession 'cause a year ago
Nobody paid attention to the kid
And I'm persistent with the effort, document my decoration
Dedicated to the death of me, definitely concerned
That I prefer to be a purist, not perjuring any verses
Only way to get it off of my chest, oh Lawd
If it's a problem I solve it privately, polish 'em off
I punish with powerful poems, compose a doper creation
Case and point I'm steadily provin' this ain't a lucid dream
I used to be infatuated, now it's just reality
I'm managing my temperament, my time to capitalise isn't infinite
The wisdom I'm attaining from trial and effort is priceless
I promise I'm putting the music before my sanity
Sing you a lullaby with alliteration and empathy
The lack of recognition is starting to fuel my energy
You know you made it when you receivin' hate from an enemy
Your relevance was never an option, here's the synopsis
Said I'm knockin' out whoever you considerin' the king
I'll kick him off the throne, I want it, I'ma take it as my property
And properly prepare to go to war with any challenger
Battle in Colosseums, people check for me to finish
Reminiscing of the legends that left remarkable legacies
I said that I'm ahead of my time, I am
You can never understand the head space I'm in
I live and I'm writing about it, giving a lyrical ballad
Workin' on findin' a balance, dealin' with every challenge
But it's a struggle, meticulously adjustin' my train of thought to be positive
Transform to a phoenix
And we just tryna give you something you remember
We the illest nigga, don't ever forget it, lord!
And we just tryna give you something you remember
We the illest nigga, don't ever forget it, lord!
And we just tryna give you something you remember
We the illest nigga, don't ever forget it, lord!
And we just tryna give you something you remember
We the illest nigga, don't ever forget it!
High stakes
Transform, we stand alone
High stakes
Transform, we stand alone
