Casanova - Whoa (Vevo Ctrl) Casanova spent eight years in prison for armed robbery. So when the Flatbush-bred rapper boasts about his street prowess, know that he’s about it. (Legend has it that Cas crossed paths with a 16-year-old A$AP Rocky while both were locked up in Rikers.) While his time in prison plays a massive role in his artistic identity, the 33-year-old outwardly raps and speaks about the experience with nuanced, insightful perspective. In October, Harvard students hosted him for a discussion on incarceration reform; And Cas has been open about Roc Nation referring him to therapy, which he credits for promoting his emotional and artistic growth. The music video for “Jail Call,” off his new album “Behind These Scars,” closes with frightening statistics on prison suicide. “Jail Cell“ and “Woah” were a perfect fit for our Ctrl stage, shining the spotlight on a voice with something important to say.
