“So far the tour has been amazing. It’s one thing to make the music but it’s another thing to see it connect with people in real time.The live connection makes the music new for me every time I see new people enjoy it,” expressed Derek. 

“The tour is going great! Whenever given the opportunity to not only perform for but to engage your supporters on a personal level, it’s always a blessing. There’s only so much you can know about them from the comment sections and Twitter responses online. And being able to hit the road with the brothers you actually like and care about is a bigger plus. We’re all trying to win big. I just want to be a rapper that changed the world with my platform,” added Canon.
