Kankan honestly has the potential to be up like carti lowkey, he’s not as good as carti but in terms of how he’s positioned himself in this music shit he literally can drop knowing he’s got hella people who gonna be reposting and supporting, plus the fact its been so long ppl are gonna tune in just to see wassup whether they’re big kankan fans or not. Bro might’ve successfully pulled off a carti move
the really rich brand is super unique, its the only merch from anyone i've ever bought and it also has a crazy resale market. people actually be buying RR stuff on grailed for like double to triple the price
kankan has a distribution deal with Empire. He not independent but he definatly took the smarter route as he seems more income depending on his contact.
distribution ≠ signed, he is indeed independent contractually. He’s smart for using empire when he drops albums while remaining without a real deal. Same route lucki took. Both indie who utilize major distribution
He played it smart and pivoted to something far more profitable than music which is clothes. Really streaming services have garbage pay and you have to constantly work or sign slave contract deals to see any payments. A clothing brand while arguably harder to manage can be way more lucrative if you have the right people in your corner. Really though music doesn’t make as much money as people think it does lmao lmao. Streaming pay is so bad and you’re basically paid 9 cents of a dollar for streaming revenue so really you have to make a lot of plays to make even a bit. Not saying he doesn’t it’s just even with a million plays that’s what a couple thousand? Which is something but lol that goes sooooo fast even if you’re living a modest life. So honestly I get why people beg him to drop because I get it he’s good at rapping but it’s obvious clothing makes way more money lol at this point he’d only rap for fun. Which is arguably a better way to approach it rather than feeling indebted to make music to survive. He actually is smarter than people give credit for because he created a large financial net for himself which a lot of the new gen artists are not doing. Not saying he’s like a financial guru lol but he’s surely making a lot more than most of his peers. Not to pocket watch though idc about other people’s pockets but if we are gonna go there I mean it’s obvious from a purely surface level.
he got potential kans fans nd him know hes good at music + he doesnt put on a weird silent media persona hes usually active and stuff he got his own cord he be in speaking to fans etc.
i got all my shit from him and the people handling the merch sent me a replacement RR on ice t shirt in less than a week cause the one that came had a hole by the neck if anything he’s the only one from that side of the underground that actually holds up his end of the deal unlike weilands garbage ass
1:40 is crazy cause I genuinely believe that Way2Geeked is the best trap album of all time. Not even joking or glazing. I had no idea people didn't like it
Ngl i fw u but ur not very articulate ong like i feel like if u stopped saying like "Well i wouldnt call it controversy but more i-it was like veri easy for a meme of kankan to go viral" i could've just said attention or smth but ong that might just be me idk
kan reminds me of smokepurrp, he aint drop nun but he still arguing whenever he can, like him attacking lunchbox is so corny, bros most popular songs are on yeat beats or yeat fts yet he called newjazz fake yeat shi and allat,if he actually dropped and stopped behaving corny hed be wayyy bigger rn i think
