So I’m going to give you a quick demonstration.Ĭ Cane: Look, this is how I do it on the beat, freestyling for BBC.Īnd if you didn’t know, now you’re gonna know that my name is C CANE. We can’t even sit still, stay away from each other when left alone in the same room and that’s all mad.įreestyling is improvising with a beat or without a beat. I guess I can understand and I should kinda respect your request.īut that’s easier said than done when I’ve gotta deal with the what, ifs and buts and you see them things start to mess with my head. It’s best that way so what we have don’t ever come to an end. Here’s an example, actually, of a song about two of my friends if… yeah?Ĭ Cane: You say it’s best that we just be friends. So that serves as inspiration for me to write some of my songs. Another one is the experiences that I go through, my friends go through and family go through. So if it’s happy, I talk about something positive, if it’s sad then I’ll talk about something that made me sad. And the beat could be happy sounding or sad sounding.

That’s a beat from the producer, the beat maker. One being I get instrumentals sent to me. RAPS IN MIX OF LINGALA, FRENCH AND ENGLISH.īen: How do you create the lyrics you use? Like what inspires you to write?Ĭ Cane: So, it could be two things. Lingala is the native language in Congo, so I’ll mix all three of those languages at high speeds and that’s what I kind of got known for.Ĭ Cane: Sure. When I’m rapping, I mix languages like French, Lingala and obviously English. Everyone where I live, my friends, family, loved grime so I chose to go in that direction. I perform the style of rap called ‘grime’. But I had very good friends with me who just kept on encouraging me and here I am.īen: Do you perform a particular style of rap?Ĭ Cane: Yeah. I was really bad, by the way, really bad. I couldn’t really express myself through playing instruments so I started rapping. I picked up some instruments, I taught myself through trial and error.

Ben: Thank you for taking the time to see us.īen: How did you get started in music, and more specifically, becoming a rapper?Ĭ Cane: I always wanted to do music.
