Kanii is a rapper, vocalist, and songwriter from Washington, D.C., who blends motion-heavy electronic production with catchy vocal hooks somewhere between frantic R&B and post-Drake pop-rap. He's best known for his 2023 viral hit "I Know," which first took off on TikTok but gained enough momentum to break into the charts in several countries. After signing to a major label, he released the EPs Exiit and It Was Nice Knowing U, as well as the 2024 single "Tell Me."
