Adrian Cree, better known by his stage name Ishkan, is a Canadian rapper from Vancouver, British Columbia.
In the late 1990s to early 2000s, he was in the collective City Planners with producers Sichuan and Sweet G, and rappers Jeff Spec and Moka Only. The crew was later named in Urb Magazine's "The Next 100". He paired with Moka Only to create Nowfolk, releasing Style Gangstas in 1999, followed by The Moon in 2002.
In 2014 he was featured on the Sonic Generals song "Down To Business", which appeared in the film Hackney's Finest. In 2015, he joined a new collective Torchlight Commission with A-Ro, Illa J, Jeff Spec, Jon Rogers, Jules Chaz, Moka Only, LMNO, Mosiac, Mr. Brady, and Potatohead People. In 2016 Nowfolk released two albums, Magnesium Opium and The Winter From 2001. The recordings were recovered from Moka's ADAT system, which was damaged in June 2003. In 2024, Nowfolk digitally released and reissued CDs of The Moon, marking its first availability since the original CD copies went out of print in 2004.
