Ant Kan$cious | “Pray For Me”
With the Lord as his witness, Ant Kan$cious feels very much at ease this time around.
And so, the Newark, New Jersey bred goes on to tell listeners worldwide why his hiatus in music almost happened in “Pray For Me.”
To create “Pray For Me’s” faultless soundscape, Kan$cious teamed up with the prestigious producer and Lowland collective, Alejandro.
From the jump, Alejandro deciphered how to set the track’s tone. One that showed he’s been putting his heart in the game like J.Cole’s “Sideline Story”. But sporadic in tempo and guitar progressions, only to show Kan$cious’ thought process.
During those dark times, Kan$cious felt trouble runneth over him. Some days, he even felt like drowning into it. Nevertheless, Kan$cious decided to take his anxiety and demons head-on with a fighting spirit. In other words he ”..had to face the man in the mirror.” Sure, it might’ve been tempting to double down on the pills like other lil’ rappers. But Kan$cious took another alternative: rhymes and reason.
Together with reflective bars that hit too close to home, “Pray For Me” addresses the issues in our society. Right now we’re focused on cashing out, not in. Rather than building our empires, we burn them to the ground through aimless shopping sprees. Yet there’s still hope, Kan$cious hints. Through the means of ambition, entrepreneurship (and sobriety) you could be living the dream. Just take Kan$cious for example. “Pray For Me” only proves that he’s going nowhere but up! Like an eternal fire, Kan$cious’ status in the game is infinite!
