Kano struggles to pull off poor mans Weezy

MPFREE: Kano – Rock N Roller (Promo CD) 2009

Between the uni-lens and the piss poor auto-tune, Kano has lucidly demonstrated his desire to become the UK version of Lil Wayne. At one point Kano was looked at as a stand alone example of the compatible relationship between grime and UK interpretative hip hop. Kano’s strength has always been his subtle manner of emulating and putting his own twist on the U.S. gangster rapper persona. Unfortunately his latest caricature, this time of Weezy, is by no means unique or compelling. The track/video lies flat in every imaginable way, and leaves an old Kano fan disappointed that he is no longer on his P’s and Q’s.
