Kankan has released only two albums so far in his career

Kankan also appeared for an interview with Our Generation Music in August 2021, where he revealed that he began rapping two years ago and did not take it seriously in the beginning. He further stated:
"I posted a poll on my story saying if I should hop in the booth. Everybody said yes, I did it, and I was like, 'this sh*t is fun.' Then I did another one, and it just kept going from there."
The 28-year-old released a collaborative project with Fifty Grand and Mixed Matches, Summer Rain, which came out back in 2019. As per Hot New Hip Hop, Grand elaborated a little bit on the song by saying:
"I made Summer Rain with the goal of diversifying my production style and working efficiently with up-and-coming artists I believe in. I also love summery songs. This is my ode to them and to the rain."
He has worked with the record label Empire and his debut album Rr was released back in 2021. Keandrian's second album Way2Geeked managed to reach on top of the charts. Apart from this, he has not announced any new projects so far.
