Essentially the precursor to “A Milli,” it seemed that by the end of summer (of 2006) everyone had recorded a verse over “Cannon”
The non-Wayne rappers on the song – Freeway, Willie the Kid, Detroit Red, and Juice – turn out decent performances, but mainly you keep listening to the song’s dope beat (perhaps hoping that Wayne has another verse)
The song is called “Cannon” because it was produced by DJ Drama affiliate Don Cannon, who uses this “Cannon” sound as his ID in tracks he has produced
