Casanova

**Casanova** is a Brooklyn-born rapper known for his gritty storytelling and unfiltered East Coast hip-hop style. Rising from the same circles as GS9 affiliates like Bobby Shmurda, he carved his lane with raw tracks that reflect street life, loyalty, and survival. His music—like the defiant "Calm Down" or the introspective "Forgive Me Father"—often balances bravado with vulnerability, showcasing his knack for vivid narratives. Collaborations like "Don’t Play Games" with late legend DMX highlight his respect within the rap community, while recent releases like "211" and "Hit the Lic" prove he’s kept his edge. Casanova’s career, however, has been marred by legal battles, including a high-profile 2020 racketeering case that led to a guilty plea in 2021. Despite setbacks, his discography remains a testament to his unapologetic voice and Brooklyn-rooted authenticity.
