Reginald Canon

Reginald Canon is a 22 year old independent rap artist from South Philadelphia. His artistic style consists of a nonchalant flow with astute word play embraced while telling stories of his triumphs, pleasures and struggles. Dope chill and "make ya think" music if you ask me ! He lastest mixtape to date is The Canon: Waiting For Your Attention, an 11-track album released in October of 2010.


How long have you been rapping ?

I've been rapping since about 13, but never really wanted to do it as a profession until I was about 18 years old. 

How would you define your music?

Raw emotion. Whatever I'm feeling at the moment is what's usually put on the track. In a time where music has to do more with "the trend" than the actual substance, I feel good about not shying away from the honesty.
 

Who or What influences you to rap?

My life. The need to be greater than who I was before and who I am now. I can't say that, at this point, I'm inspired by anyone in particular, but I do find music here and there that just makes me fall in love with what I'm doing all over again.
 

Who late/current rappers inspire you ?

Growing up, I listened to BIG, Nas, Outkast, and Big Pun. Beanie Siegel was definitely someone I looked up to, rap-wise, as well. Today, there aren't too many rappers that I can say inspire me.

What do you hope to accomplish with your rap career?

I hope to reach people and inspire them with the messages in my music. I want to be remembered for contributing something great to the world, when its all said and done.

I recommend Reginald Canon's music. He has that cool mellow fellow flow that unveils a story to his listeners. If you want to listen to someone who isn't bragging about  money and material things, someone who can make you feel and/or relate to the life he lives, click his music link below. Reginald Canon has good music that will saturate your headphones and sound systems with a dope lyrical atmosphere.
