The rapper known as Prezident Kane has
released his latest LP album, “Death Before Dishonor.” The album
is composed of 10 original tracks for an approximate total listening
time of 40 minutes. It is the most widely distributed album to come
from Kane to date and has been widely anticipated by his fans, which
he proudly refers to as “my soldiers.” The album has been
published on the SharkTown Records independent music label.
Straight-up, hardcore gangsta rap from the heart of the American
south, “Death Before Dishonor” is an old-school banger for fans
of the G- sound whether young or old.
Prezident Kane cites as main artistic
influences such personalities of the hip-hop scene as Master P.,
Tupac Shakur, the Screwed Up Click, UGK, South Park Mexican, and Do
or Die. His own style is a legitimate part of the Dirty South mode of
rap music, and has much in common with all related artists above.
In addition to the considerable talents
of Prezident Kane, himself, his “Death Before Dishonor” LP also
includes the skills of a broad spectrum of SharkTown Records friends
and family. Such rappers and vocalists include Redrum, Lil Bing,
Lyrikal, Merk Rock, Reality1, Hennessy, Killa, Cyr, Gina, and Pelon.
Each featured artist, according to Kane himself, was given express
freedom in writing his or her own lyrics for the respective tracks. The album also includes Latin Grammy Award nominee, Juan Gotti.
Speaking of the themes of his new
record, Kane writes that the overall message of his new album
revolves around “Real life in the streets in every hood in the
world.”
Prezident Kane's official bio describes
him as being from Corpus Christi, TX by way of Chula Vista. He
became the young, founding CEO of SharkTown Records at the age of 14.
He began his music career by writing poetry, then branching into rap
music in 1996 when a friend asked him to rap over the phone so a girl
could hear him.
“My homeboy called on three-way and
told me to rap to this girl on the line,” writes Prezident Kane.
“She said that she was really into it … From rapping to girls, I
started rapping about our lifestyles in the street.”
SharkTown Records has been renowned for
their efforts in charitable social work and have been showcased on
national television for this reason.
“SharkTown Records made an appearance
on ABC that broadcast a local affiliated station called K-III TV-3
News,” Kane relates. “They interviewed me because we were helping
the S.O.S drive and giving out free haircuts for all the kids. Some
children couldn't afford a fresh haircut on the first day of school,
so we wanted to make a difference.”
This isn't the only way Prezident Kane
and SharkTown lend a hand, either.
“With our programs, we are trying to
give back by helping the children that are less fortunate,” Kane
writes. “SharkTown Records proudly has two programs. The first one
is named the 'Kids Keeping It Real Foundation' for kids coming from
situations they cannot control, family abuse and poverty, for
instance. The second program is named the 'F.A.D.D Org.,' which
stands for the Fight Against Drunk Driving Organization.”
SharkTown and Prezident Kane also
appeared on the Johnny Canales Show, through which they were invited
to the First Annual Dr. Hector P. Garcia Memorial Parade with
political leader Joe Ortiz.
