"Kant Nobody" is a song by American rapper Lil Wayne, released on February 23, 2023. The song, which features sampled vocals from late fellow American rapper DMX, was produced by Swizz Beatz and Avenue Beatz. It was included on Lil Wayne's first greatest hits album I Am Music.[1]
In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Lil Wayne hinted he made the song in reaction to his inclusion on Billboard's list of the "Top 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time" (at number 7).[2][3]
Composition
"Kant Nobody" begins with a sample of DMX speaking in an interview,[3][4] before a sample of "Niggaz Done Started Something" from DMX's album It's Dark and Hell Is Hot is played throughout the track. In the chorus, Lil Wayne raps about his lyrical skill and legacy while referencing the process of composing the song: "Best rapper, ex-trapper, dress dapper / Swizzy gave me a head-banger, a neck-snapper / X-factor, make a rapper an example / All I need is a beat with a DMX sample".[5][6][7][8]
