[@XavierAbrahamMusic]

Met this man last night. Very peculiar dude.

[@iam.mariejen]

“I am not a title person.” Transparent moment know what works for you and own it. Recognize when and where you need help, realize that you can’t do it all (even in the simple matters). Great interview!

[@zaki.aka.bostic99]

Get Eshon Burgundy and dee-1 on here

[@memuno6281]

Mad Haven is his best work. Loose Canon Vol. 1 is close second.

[@thatk.t.a._flow]

I never heard any of Canon's music until today I don't know why.

[@rogdanago5894]

i just wanna say that'll never happen on an Android...

[@Rinebo]

Real talk!!!

[@Brokensilence2012]

I need that shirt!

[@fulanodetal3614]

Aye speaking about Mind Vomit, why isn't it available on Spotify anymore? You just looked so depressed and tired during this whole interview. I'll keep you in my prayers, man.

[@Luckymurray]

Why people saying that Canon looks like someone Auntie with his hair lol

[@DJMcNutty]

sound like you saying that Luck

[@siantelove]

He looks like the producer The Dream to me

[@TheBlessingReport]

yo it's mad distracting and rude to not silence the phone during an interview to be considerate to Wade and the audio

[@chinwenduchinwe586]

Goodness....he said he rolled out of bed 1 hr ago and apologized. Grace keep it moving forward

[@DeonteHall100]

💯

[@siantelove]

He seems sad/disillusioned - sending up prayers for this brutha.

[@skeel8710]

I noticed ___

[@KBshyne]

How so?

[@toddtj1]

He said he had just woke up dude probably tired

[@marcosdelacruz8160]

Pplz just keep on disecting, the christian rap scene, YESHUA came 2 uphold his father's kingdom and his rule, never conform not in the slightest, test those spirits but the HOLY SPIRIT need be the tester, for there ain't no fooling the consoling spirit that YESHUA left, never let no man's walk be your tool for discernment, as only the LORD REVEALS HIS OWN SECRETS💖

[@odomize]

Christian rappers should keep it 100% scripture. After promoting Christian rap for over a year I've changed my view and will no longer promote most of it. Bunch of VBS kids dressed like they off the street or dudes off the street thats they make look like Christian ministers to push more sells. If you want to be in the Christian Ministry stick to preaching and stop living for the limelight. Keep it 100 or pack it up and go back to the mainstream. However, if you're real and keep it 100 we will support your brand..meaning the proceeds go back to the ministry and not there pockets...503c or Non-profit. The Gospel isn't for sell.

[@chinwenduchinwe586]

Does it say we overcome by our testimony? If we can live it, talk it, write it...then why can't we sing it?

[@odomize]

@@chinwenduchinwe586 They can sing praise and worship songs all day "Gospel". All I said was they should keep it scripture otherwise stick to preaching the Gospel and stop living in the limelight. From here on out I need Bio's and a proven track record in ministry..off the streets would be best. Lecrae was in street ministry for 15 yrs ..everyone wants to be like Lecrae but don't have the experience to lead...

[@chinwenduchinwe586]

@@odomize I heard you but religion has done a number on many of us, especially in the area of music. I want to ask, do you talk scripture 100% of the time? In not doing so, if you are really born again and on God's mission, does it make it any less so? The fakes and pretenders are out there, we're to keep shining the light and they'll expose themselves. Peace

[@odomize]

@@chinwenduchinwe586 Agreed. And yes I only quote scripture when it comes to ministering. I was a apart of false religion for years at the big church. Thats why I backslid and stopped going. Thank GOD for showing me real faith and exposed the false teachings of the NIV and Big church. A lot of Christian rappers fall into this realm. However, Sevin, Bizzle, Kindom muzic (Bryann T) are a good representation of real Christian ministers via muzic.

[@chinwenduchinwe586]

@@odomize So happy to know you're back on your journey; praise Elohim! Regarding the NIV, it's true many people are being misled. Parts of scripture are missing, words changed which changes the meaning plus so much more. Not to leave out that the NIV tampers with spiritual laws and concepts embedded within scripture. All involved in will pay the cost for it. Agree, many rappers have, we'll continue to pray for them. Even, a lot of so called church music has some unbelief woven in the words. Now, when I hear it, I sing what the word says. You have the victory ~ Blessings
