The Come Up: Kankan

KANKAN, born Keandrian Qynzel Jones in Dallas, Texas, started his journey in music almost as a joke, only to find himself fully immersed in the rap game. Known for his production work with Smokepurpp and collaborations with artists like Fifty Grand, he transitioned from beat-making to rapping, dropping his debut album *Rr* in 2021. By 2022, KANKAN had released his second studio album, *Way2Geeked*, climbing the US Heat charts and solidifying his place in the underground scene. A member of the now-defunct Slayworld collective, KANKAN's music is a blend of hard-hitting trap and melodic vibes, making him a standout figure in the rap world. Learn more about your ad choices.
