Kano "Typical Me"
Kane Robinson on this sure-to-be-massive tune. Kano has been running red since his break-through collaboration Jammer "Boys Love Girls", a tune which made it clear he was the star MC of N.A.S.T.Y crew. Since then he's had a string of underground hits with MC Demon on the pugilistic "Gansta Toys", with former Roll Deep producer Wonder on the post-Nightmares on Wax orgasmic-oddyssey "What Have You Done?" and has taken the "Ludacris" role to Sadies "Ashanti" on Terrah Danjahs idyllytronic R'n'G flickerscape "So Sure."
On the underground Kano's smooth-talking ultra-efficent rhyming and boyish good looks have marked him out as a ladies man par excellence, however both "P's and Q's" and "Mic Fight", slightly lower-key releases at his new home 679 records, have suggested he's willing to keep the bpms up and his fangs intact. "Typical Me", with its snappy noir-ish club-story video, will surely be the track to bring him to an even wider audience. Riding a slack-metal riff at an unforbidding Hip-Hop tempo, Kano shows yet more breadth to his vision, gives his weary and nimble rhymes more room to snake around, and opens his arms to the fans of Dylan Mills and Mike Skinner.
