Maryland-based rapper Brandon Perry, known as Knowledge Above All Nonsense … Read Full Bio ↴Maryland-based rapper Brandon Perry, known as Knowledge Above All Nonsense (abbreviated to K.A.A.N), is best known for his cynical, twisted tracks and fast bars. His music is heavily influenced by the abuse he has experienced, including substances, his musical idols growing up, his depression and anxiety, and his struggle to grow his fan-base. K.A.A.N is not one to use simple language – his vocabulary is far larger than that of other rappers around and he flaunts it within his tracks often.

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.

STRONGER
K.A.A.N. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feels like I'm trippen, I just came from myself.
Man at times I have been lost on this path, I've been searching for the man that I am.
Lend me a piece of your love, I just need a little bit of your time.
Can I have?
Lawd!
Can I have it?
I'm in and out with the cause, no one to save them at all, You blown away by the energy.
Emphazize and maximize the melody, Manefest and I will make them believe, easy to see the deceased, Fake as they all, our shit is window flossed, I realize what is wrong, I remain calm, Conquer and murder them all.

Pick a part I put a lot into it.
I don't do like everybody else, I aint even really interested.
Sentences give my emotion,

Kinda hopeless,
Feel the sense, lost innocence, but no censorship
