Indie Artist Of The Week

CAIN represents the Southeast Side of Chicago, but puts on for hip-hop as a culture. He was best known for throwing parties as a strike against boredom and an outlet for his crew’s music. Using his God given sense Cain took this attitude with him across the country to do parties and shows. Fast forwarding to the present CAIN has been grinding nonstop performing with some of Hip-Hop’s newest and hottest artist including Kanye West Artist GLC, Wiz Khalifa, The Cool Kids, Pac Div, Anton Genius, DJ Neil Armstrong. CAIN was also allowed the privilege to perform for Hip-Hop Mogul Russell Simmons at his 2002 Youth Hip Hop Summit in Ohio. With his fluid style he’s took the best from the best to create CAIN. “I got mad love for Jay- Z , in a way his music saved my life. Notorious B.I.G showed me what Confidence is, Common taught me to have pride and Kanye taught me to be persistent”. I rap from both angles where I come from and where I want to be, the dark and the understanding side of the street life and what you have to do to escape it. I am ridiculously versatile because I’ve been through so much”. CAIN has also performed at number of spots and festivals including Abbey’s Pub, Elbo Room, 

CMJ Festival NYC, Subterranean, Water for Children CA, The Wild Hare, and U.S. Beer Company. “Hip-Hop means everything to me I believe it is my life my culture, it’s my world. It is the voice of our people. It’s the music of the struggle. I love Hip-Hop for real. Without God and Hip Hop I wouldn’t be me”.
