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.

K.A.A.N. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Knew that it was wrong the first night I met you
When I sneaked back into bed and you said, "I love you"
Up in this house, blood runs cold
Secret codes, are all we know

We gotta tear it all down, set it on fire
Watch it burn to the ground, it kills us just a little
But a little's alright, 'cause, oh, it ain't forever

You'll find someone, find someone who loves you better
Yeah, you'll find someone, find someone who loves you better
Babe, you'll find the one, you'll find someone

Your friends have always liked me but I told you that you shouldn't listen
'Cause picking wings off of angels, has always been my religion
You been stickin' 'round far too long
And I've been runnin' 'round and it just feels wrong

We gotta tear it all down, set it on fire
Watch it burn to the ground, it kills us just a little
But a little's alright, 'cause, oh, it ain't forever
You'll find someone, find someone who loves you better
Yeah, you'll find someone, find someone who loves you better
Babe, you'll find the one, you'll find someone

We gotta tear it all down, set it on fire
Watch it burn to the ground, it kills us just a little
But a little's alright, 'cause, oh, it ain't forever
You'll find someone, find someone who loves you better
Whoa, babe, you'll find someone

Yeah, someone who could love you better
Whoa, babe, you'll find the one, you'll find someone
