BORN SEPTEMBER 7,1988 ON THE SOUTHSIDE OF CHICAGO IT WASN'T ALWAYS EASY FOR BIG KANNON (DAJUAN WILSON). WITH THE STRUGGLE OF HIS CHILDHOOD AND THE UPS AND DOWNS OF DEALING WITH HIS FAMILY PROBLEMS HE NEEDED A WAY TO RELEASE ALL HIS PAIN. BY THE AGE OF 9 WITH THE MOTIVATION OF HIS PROBLEMS HE FOUND AN OUTLET IN MUSIC. BY THE TIME HE REACHED 14 YEARS OLD HE WAS FINALLY BEING RECOGNIZED BY VARIOUS PEOPLE FOR HIS RAW TALENT. EVENTUALLY LINKING UP WITH THE CEO OF INDIE LABEL "POTLUCK ENT." KANNON KNEW HIS LIFE WAS SOON GOING TO CHANGE. WITH HIS NEW INDIE LABEL BEHIND HIM AND THE SUPPORT OF HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY BIG KANNON WAS DETERMINED TO BE ONE OF THE BEST.
SOON AFTER PERFECTING HIS WRITING SKILLS AND DEVELOPING HIMSELF AS A YOUNG RAPPER IN 2006 HE RELEASED HIS FIRST STREET ALBUM TITLED "CEASE TALK VOL.1". WITH THE SUCCESS OF THIS ALBUM BIG KANNON EARNED THE SUPPORT OF THE STREETS AND HAD CREATED A NEW FAN BASE FOR HIMSELF. LATER ON DOWN THE LINE KANNON FOUND HIMSELF OPENING UP FOR MAJOR ARTIST SUCH AS TWISTA,COMMON,DO OR DIE AND JOHNNY P THAT DEFINITELY MADE A BUZZ FOR HIM THE CITY OF CHICAGO. BEING A FEW MORE STEPS CLOSER TO HIS DREAM IT WASN'T UNTIL HE HIT THE STAGE WITH OSCAR AWARD WINNER "JENNIFER HUDSON" HE THEN KNEW HE WAS DOING SOMETHING RIGHT.
IN 2008 RELEASING HIS SECOND STREET ALBUM "THE WAKE UP VOL.1" NO LONGER WITH HIS PREVIOUS INDIE LABEL (POTLUCK ENT) HE FOUND HIMSELF MATURING AS AN ARTIST WORKING WITH A VARIETY OF NEW PRODUCERS AND ARTIST LIKE BLACK GHOST ,TWISTA'S ARTIST MELLO THA GUDDAMANN, AVREY SMITH,HUCA BERA & EPIK THE DAWN. WITH HIS HIT SONGS LIKE "THIS AIN'T WORKIN' OUT" WHICH FEATURES 1ST&15TH ARTIST "GEMSTONES" TO "SWAGGS ON A 100" AND "STROKE U DOWN" SHOWED BIG KANNON'S VERSATILITY AND MATURENESS ON THE ALBUM. CURRENTLY RELEASING HIS FIRST OFFICIAL MIXTAPE TITLED "THE WAKE UP VOL.2" HOSTED BY SUNNYBLACK KANNON IS DOING WHAT NO OTHER RAPPER HAS DONE. FROM ALL THAT BIG KANNON HAS ACHIEVED IN THE PAST TIL NOW HE IS VERY OPTIMISTIC ABOUT HIS FUTURE IN MUSIC.
