Mista Cane

Mista Cane took the mixtape scene by storm in 2003. Dropping 4 mixtapes with his Alliance Crew in Northern California which at that time was not known for doing mixtapes unlike their east coast counterparts. In a 24 month span the mixtapes created a strong buzz with each volume pushing a respectable 20,000 copies on average. Since then Mista Cane has been touring with Andre Nickatina (AKA Dre Dog) throughout several states including California, Washington & Arizona most notably. From clubs to colleges getting the message out that he was here to stay.

He has also contributed to 2 successful independent group efforts (2003's Pervelous P Camp, and 2005's High Risk High High Reward) with other independent California acts to showcase his album making abilities before utilmately pursuing his solo career. Now fresh off the recent success of his solo mixtape "Contract Year" with Bronx based DJ Iroc of Amerikkkas Most Wanted Djs Cane is primed to drop his debut solo album "In My Life" to the masses. Co-Signed by Geffen Records / Interscope recording artist The Game who shows his support by appearing on 3 tracks on the album Cane seems poised to let everyone know he is destined to be a household name. Other notable guests include Platinum recording artist Mike Marshall (A member of the Timex Social Club who were responsible for the smash hit "Rumors". And also appeared on The Luniz multi platinum single "I Got 5 On It") as well as some stellar appearances from The Cali Agents (Planet Asia & Rasco) 2 of the most respected hip hop artists from any region today. The song topics are impressive but different as Cane strays away from typical braggadocious rap lyrics that plague many cds today. Instead, he chooses to elaborate on the hardships of being raised in poverity and how to overcome adversity with songs like "Slow Down", "True Confessions", and "In My Life". He explains the difficulties faced in the music industry on "Hard Work" and on "The Nightshift" he explains why kids would turn to crime with so many other avenues in life. What is most refreshing is the ability to come off intelligent in his songs without sounding like a preacher. Add all of this with the solid production provided throughout and you have an excellent debut album. Overall this album is a breathe of fresh air in a genre that has become stale and repetitive.
