Canva$ Cope: The RAPstation Artist Spotlight

Canva$, or Canva$ Cope, is a Vermont native from the city Brattleboro, and he later moved to Goldsboro, North Carolina. His passion began at the age 9 but he truly began recording his music during sophomore year of high school in his own bedroom. His musical obsession continues to grow and he hopes to drop his EP that is in progress early 2016. Much of his inspiration came from the late 2Pac and Jay Z. The flow they delivered as artists are what he “fell in love with” and the support of his family and friends made it easy for him to pursue his dream of being a rapper. His name came from wanting something that “could represent him as an artist,” and Canva$ coincides with his desire to paint visuals through his music. Pulling from artists like 2Pac, Jay Z, and Nas with his favorite song “It Ain’t Hard To Tell,” he had all he needed to motivate himself to create music. Canva$ Cope’s style is heavily based on wordplay and catchy phrases as well as melodies with good meanings. Hoping to also launch his Closed Caption Entertainment label soon, 2016 should be a big year for Canva$.
