WHO LET THE KAYNON LOOSE? Born Joakin Ikazoboh on 14th June 1985 in the unique town of Kaduna north-central, Nigeria. Lived and was brought up in the air force military base, Kaduna. Fondly referred to as, "THE HEART OF THE NORTH" by his teeming fans got introduced to music at an early stage. In his words "My dad was really crazy about his music so he had a large collection of records that got etched into my brain as early as 5yrs old". Fast-forward to the early 90s when rap started taking over mainstream music, a monster was created immediately Kaynon got his hands on a copy of the kriss-kross' debut album. He memorized the tape front to back! "From then on I knew there was no stopping me" he said, "I just had to get me more!" And more he got. He got into air force secondary school Kaduna and picked up on miming as the next best thing; social days were looked forward to like it was Christmas. And one year Christmas came with a very big and unexpected gift when in the middle of his performance, the song he was miming to just stopped, He then had to improvise by spitting the rest of the song acapella to a thunderous applause. "It was 99'; my two buddies and I were miming "Notorious" by biggie when all of a sudden the music just stopped. The lights were still on so we knew it wasn't a power problem but there we were standing there looking stupid as hell in front of the whole school, I some how knew what had to be done and did it, I cant explain what happened that day but am glad it did". He started writing his own stuff in 2000', after which he hooked up with a rap collective in kaduna called "liquid metal" and they recorded a studio demo including the underground cult classic "game is on" which created a momentary buzz in the city but due to school and stuff everyone went solo. His education lead him to Lagos, (Anthony village to be exact) where he lived with his cousin. This quickly became his second home and there the final stage in the evolution of the Loose Kaynon was complete. The beauty of his music lies in the diversity of his rhyming skills and his broad take on issues. From the effortless braggadocio evident on songs like "Swagger" and "It's Okay" to the inspirational offerings of "Kan't Look Back" and lets not forget the smooth and hypnotic flow of "Down Low", one thing is certain this m.c is unpredictable and can switch up his flow at the drop of a hat. We just wonder if the music industry and in deed the world at large is ready for such talent? In summary, you may ask me who is Loose Kaynon and what is he about? Loose Kaynon, is not your average gangster, but certainly better-than-your-average hustler, not your new kid on the rap block but the kid bringing a whole new rap block to light. He is an Mc and rapper extraordinaire. Ye Diggg!
