With the number of fresh faces I’ve heard lamenting the dark side of celebrity, it seems like some rappers are born disillusioned with life in the spotlight – not The Canz; as brothers Prominent and Foster explain on their latest mixtape freestyle, they’ve been working towards musical superstardom since they were teenagers, and they’re not gonna stop till they’re World Famous. Over the Kanye West and Jeff Bhasker-produced beat that backed 808s cut Amazin, the exclusive freestyle alumni fill us all in on just how hard they’ve been grinding. JD Era, the Toronto native who brought us You Know This and Champagne Nights jumps on board to deliver an equally braggadocio-packed guest verse, and singer Danay Mariney ties it all together with some uniquely childlike yet soulful hook vocals. So have the Canz got what it takes to become “...as famous as Jenna Jameson’s anus?” (Yes, that line is actually in the song.) If you think so, you can hear more on the Mick Boogie/Terry Urban-mixed, DJBooth-sponsored Life After Graduation mixtape, out August 4.

I am never a fan of artists doing a straight verse freestyle over someone else's hit record, but changing up the concept, title, and flow is fine. Needless to say, The Canz did just that. The execution could have been better, but the end result is fun.

I like the remix concept here - who's on that hook? I that Nelly Furtado? I have no idea, but it's a great sample choice. As for the lyrics, they throw out some great punchlines, but overall I can't say I was impressed. Did laugh out loud on the "Jenna Jamison's anus" line though. Ha!
@rdotlala - What tracks are out there right now that you are feeling? Curious about what we're missing.

JD Era is a beast :) They did the beat justice because 'Amazing' was one of my favourite songs of 08 lol

The Canz did nothing to elevate this or make it their own.
