Personal life

C-Kan was born and raised in the town of Guadalajara. At the age of 12 his father died, and he began making a life on the streets of Guadalajara. Alongside crime and violence, rap was also part of his life, and at 16, Ramos Maldonado discovered his talent for it.

C-Kan is the father of a child. I never study music, but I finished high school.

On his middle finger is inscribed "delinquent", about which he told a reporter: "That's what society thinks I am, just because I look like a cholo, but the police and the politicians are better than us. My biggest crime is smoking and telling the reality that many refuse to see. " Their typical way of dressing is t-shirts and baggy pants. It is common to see a black rosary hang from his neck, and he constantly wears a cap.
