Brandon Perry (born January 13, 1991), known professionally as K.A.A.N. (acronym for Knowledge Above All Nonsense) is an American rapper from Maryland. He is best known for his fast-rhyming Chopper style, vast vocabulary, and cynical lyrics based on mental health issues, abuse, politics, and religion, along with struggling to grow his fanbase.[1] Perry has stated Tupac Shakur is one of his greatest influences, stating how Shakur was "the only artist where I could literally feel the music", adding that he studied Shakur's music and would "[listen] to catch every word, mannerism, voice inflections."[2] Perry has listed many other rap artists he took inspiration from, naming Nas, Eminem, Das EFX, EPMD, Big Pun, Biggie and Wu-Tang Clan.[3] He has added that acts from other genres are also big influences in his style, Etta James, Smokey Robinson, Earth, Wind & Fire, Nirvana, and Adele.[2]
