Fresco Kane is hot—in more ways than one.
He is hot as in his career as well as the title of this newest
single.
The East St. Louis
native released his newest mixtape, ESTL, under the So So Def label presided by
hit producer Jermaine Dupri.
To promote the single and mixtape, Kane (who was formerly
Gena) as well as Dupri made an appearance recently on BET’s 10 and Park where
his video “Hot” premiered.
Epic Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment
This is why when the world receives its introduction to
rapper, producer and singer Fresco Kane, they’ll realize that the latest So So
Def/Epic Records signee is the triple threat of the future.
From his website, industry visionaries hope that
Kane can rejuvenate the St Louis
music scene after Nelly and Chingy.
“I definitely feel
like a lot of weight is on my shoulders,” he says. “But I’ve come up with so
much rejection because I’m where I’m from that this kind of pressure is a
blessing.”
Fresco Kane's mixtape ESTL |
It wasn’t until his first year of junior college at South Western Illinois College
when the former high school basketball standout began taking his multi-talents
seriously. Trips to Atlanta ,
with his then manager, to visit Young Jeezy producer Shawty Red encouraged an
18-year-old Fresco to abandon his hoop dreams.
“I’ve got a lot of versatility,” says Mr. Kane. “I never
just limit myself to doing one thing. I’m trying to spread my talent around.
I’m not gonna just do rap or just do R&B or just produce. I mean, why would
I? Which new artist today does all three”
Jermaine Durpi clubbin with Kane |
Originally rapping under the moniker Genesis the Lyricist
(also known as Gena), the Lou MC would later change his name for the purpose of
gaining more artistic individuality. Making sure that his image remained
organic, he would pair his reputation for being stylishly “dope boy fresh” with
his resemblance to the lead character in the classic film Menace To Society,
Cane and birth the tag Fresco Kane.
Two weeks after changing his name in February of 2012, FK
would meet Jermaine Dupri during a trip to ATL with his new management
Starpower. The initial intent was to play JD tracks from Fresco and former St.
Lunatic Murphy Lee’s unreleased mixtape. The So So Def boss was much more
interested in Kane’s solo records. A week later he signed him.
. “Just because you’re signed doesn’t mean you’re on,” he
states. “I got signed off of my talent––because I can sing, because I can
produce and rap. I’m appreciative of being signed but it just means more work.
And I’m ready to work.”

published by Mixon’s book company, Kobalt Books in January.

Why can’t (We Never Ever Get) away from Taylor Swift?
Why are we surprised that Nikki Minaj was snubbed at the Grammy nominations?Why
are House Republicans planning to leave for vacation early when the Fiscal
Cliff is looming upon us? Why did
Christina Aguilera leave her comfy seat and good pay on “The Voice” for
lackluster album sales? Why was Justin Bieber asked to perform at
the Victoria Secret Fashion Show? Why are celebs like Kanye West and
Rihanna giving the world too much information about themselves than we care to
know on Twitter? Why is NeNe Leakes receiving so much backlash for being
on the cover of Ebony because she turned her 15 minutes of fame into 60 minutes?
Why is Beyonce deciding to do a HBO documentary on her personal life now?Why
can’t Jada Pinkett Smith raise her daughter, Willow ,
the way she so pleases without criticism from the masses? And Why are we continuing to watch Bobbi Kristina
self-destruct on The Houstons: One Our Own?
