KING ASIATIC NOBODY'S EQUAL
The dopest rhyme spitter and ghost writer from the 'Golden Era' of Hip Hop, Big Daddy Kane is simply a living legend!
Growing up in the notorious Bed-Stuyvesant neighbourhood of Brooklyn, Kane was educated first hand in the rapidly expanding culture of Hip Hop. He found strong influence in the lyrical proficiency of Grandmaster Caz from the Cold Crush Brothers and as a late teenager he joined a local group called the Juice Crew headed by legendary Marley Marl. During this time he was also a writer for many peers in the game, Biz Markie and Roxanne Shante who were also Juice Crew members. His first single in 1987 called ‘Raw’ was a nonstop barrage of abuse upon the mic without a pause for breath, Kane had proven he had what it took and stole centre spotlight from the Juice Crew only to pursue a solo identity. During the early 1990s, Jay-Z is known to have been Big Daddy Kane’s hype man, and Kane helped him early on in his career.
It's amazing to think that in a career spanning over 25 years Australia has never witnessed the magic of a Big Daddy Kane live show...that wait ends in October with a show promising to deliver all the classics that influenced countless MCs and defined to many a generation and lifestyle.
LONG LIVE THE KANE!
