about

“Smoother than butter corn”, once again slick flows deliver the jewels as award winning upstate NY rapper Anthony Kannon returns with the new single “Make It Rain”, the second from the album “Cautionary Tales” produced entirely by Frost Gamble which releases on October 20th 2023.

Consistent with the album’s emotionally charged biographical themes reflecting on traumatic childhood experiences, the consequences through adolescence and the subsequent progression to new horizons, the new joint addresses the journey and struggle to escape the perceptions of the past.

A powerful narrative dipped in the hot sauce of a gritty skewed beat marinated with a generous helping of soul, a choice cut out now on New Dawn Records.

lyrics

(Verse 1)

I can make it rain, and thunderstorm
When a king dies, another’s born
The pain of a lost one, the hate of a lover's scorn
Flash in a pan, make it smoother than butter corn
Magic with the Dumbledore
Butterfly doors on a whip that never existed
Execute plans, since the moment I stepped in the district
All the success, I never could picture
They capitulated, step on the rhythm
I was seven when I stepped in a prison, several visits
Never upkept with an image
What’s the plot? Get him dropped, that’s a lesson in physics
This a cautionary tale of a kid, who was selling and pitching
Head in the clouds, bed in the sky
Throwing five on a dime, getting high with the reddest of eyes
All the bullshit, set it aside
'Cuz one day you’ll be dead while the rest are alive, make it rain on them

(Hook)

I can make it rain, and thunderstorm
When a king dies, another’s born
I can make it rain, and thunderstorm
When a king dies, another’s born

(Verse 2)

I landed on my feet every time
Move back, I’m the cool cat the streets couldn’t find
Wanna peep my demise, still thrive, how that treat you inside
Heart beating, tryna keep you from dying
What’s a sheep to a lion
I told you
It's weird when you tryna' be a mogul, but they keep asking for the old you
Visit my brother in Harlem, get some soul food
I keep in touch with my roots like I’m supposed to
The goal is to build a house, I think I got it figured out
So many nights that I slept, I would think about the things I could live without
Lost everything, but couldn’t sit and pout
I had to take a different route
I wanna' be more self sufficient
And take better care of my body, 'cuz you know, health is wisdom
I don’t need anybody else’s help to get myself in the best position
Make a record finish

(Hook)

I can make it rain, and thunderstorm
When a king dies, another’s born
I can make it rain, and thunderstorm
When a king dies, another’s born
