Jamaica born, NY based US rapper.  Germaine Williams a.k.a. Canibus (aka Can-I-Bus) was born in 1974 in Jamaica to Basil and Elaine Williams. After his parents divorced, Canibus and his mother immigrated to the U.S. before his teen years and moved around frequently due to his mother's work.

Before he was eighteen he had lived in Brooklyn, Washington D.C., Miami, England (where his mother was originally from), Atlanta, Georgia, and eventually New Jersey. Growing up, Canibus found interest in beat boxing and break dancing. Though Canibus dabbled with several jobs and interests, his main pursuit in life was rapping. During his days as a kid in the Bronx, Bis (another alias) evolved through various elements of Hip Hop and eventually began making his mark in the New York City rap scene. Made his name on the underground freestyle & battle circuits, guesting on Cassette & CD mixtapes by DJ Clue and Ron G in the mid 90's. First spotted guesting on tracks by The Lost Boyz (the infamous "Beasts From The East" classic last verse), Common and LL Cool J.  He initially gained fame in the 1990s for his ability to freestyle, and eventually released his debut album Can-I-Bus in 1998. 

Canibus' biggest claim to fame arose when LL Cool J invited him to do a guest spot on LL's new single "3, 2, 1". Full Bio Here:  https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0133974/bio
