Kan Kan Musa

James Lamar Nelson Jr., professionally known as Kan Kan Music—formerly RaRi Klip Kosher—is a 32-year-old rapper, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and creative force hailing from Atlanta, Georgia. Born on December 21, 1992, at Georgia Baptist, James was raised in the Lela Valley Apartments in the Thomasville area before his family relocated to Emerald Estates off Glenwood in Decatur, Georgia.

Growing up in a single-parent household filled with strong women—his mother, sister, and niece—James learned resilience early. His father passed away when he was just four years old, and the tragedies continued with the loss of his brother at age seven and his best friend at 21. These early experiences shaped him into a natural leader, assuming the role of man of the house while navigating the harsh realities of his environment.

At 14, James discovered his passion for both music and preaching. His neighborhood OGs taught him the codes of the street—how to be a noble young man and survive through hustle, even if it meant selling drugs. While walking the line between faith and survival, he sharpened his voice and vision.

James attended Towers High School, where he formed a rap group called Money Fiends with two close friends. They began recording songs and uploading them to MySpace, gaining attention from classmates and local fans. What started as a hustle became a movement.

Despite facing prison, jail, and near-death experiences, Kan Kan Music turned his trials into triumphs. He exceeded expectations and used his struggles as fuel, becoming not just an artist, but a brand. He emerged as a powerful entrepreneur—designing shoes and clothes, launching his own business ventures, and using his story to inspire others as a motivational speaker and consultant.

Kan Kan Music’s journey is a testimony to growth, loss, grit, and purpose. From the trap to the pulpit, the block to the boardroom, he represents the power of transformation. His life stands as proof that where you start doesn’t have to determine where you finish.
