Coming out of Ithaca, New York- Anthony Kannon is a force to be reckoned with. His new album ‘Cautionary Tales’, produced by Frost Gamble, is one hell of an album- one that will truly feed your soul. Some highlights from the engaging ‘Cautionary Tales’ include tracks like “Lazy Eye”, “Make it Rain”, “Take it Easy” and “Conye”, which display his character-rich, vivid sound. The idiosyncratic production of the track “Make it Rain” is a refreshing Al Green flip, and it’s amazing when you hear an old school classic that’s been flipped with a raw boom-bap sound.
Anthony tells amazing stories through his lyrics, In The track “Long Ride”, expaining how people say he sounds like a broken record, because all he knows is drugs and the lifestyle that comes with it. Here, Anthony raps about the realities of his life, upbringing and generally keeps it 100. On the track “Miss Daisy”, Kannon changes up his style a bit as he raps in a bit of an electrifying faster pace, while track “Conye” delivers a vibe that is unmatched with infectious grooving beats and sleek flows. To listen to this album, purchase directly on Bandcamp HERE as the artist gets supported directly or you can listen on all streaming services today.
