    Artist description
    24 year old African American male, born in New York city. 6'4, 250Lbs, Well built, brown skin, black hair and brown eyes. Billy Cain is a solo artist that with skills that will make your head spin....Wether it is street, battle, or music for the ladies or the thugs, Billy Cain has got it. The instrumentality behind Confucian's lyrics is worth taking note of. Supported by music from two premier producers / composers, D-Sorce and Eddie Mac, from Brooklyn and the Bronx, respectively, Confucian's music is original and contains no samples to carry the music as the main ingredient of the track. Confucian maintains that when he feels "the aura of the beat" he gives the rhythm the very best that he can. He constantly repeats, "the better the beat, the better I get." Both producers are committed to providing Confucian the best of their musical creations. This relationship is a prime recipe for longevity in the music industry.

    Artist History
    Confucian a.k.a Billy Cain (William McCain) was born in Brooklyn, New York. He lived in the Fort Green Section of Brooklyn for 11 years. At the age of 11, his family moved uptown. Currently, he resides with his mother, brothers, and sister in Harlem, New York City. He has lived in Harlem for the last 11 years. These years are critical to the lyrics that he writes. "Throughout my years uptown", he says, "I have seen a lot of things happen around me." With the death of his older brother, at the age of 19, in 1992, Confucian's life was transformed. He says, "I have seen many friends go for stupid reasons. Throughout all the tragedies I have seen and faced, I realized that life was too short and that I must try to make the best of myself." Thus, McCain went on to finish high school and graduate from Martin Luther King Jr. H.S.
