First Aussie Tour For Big Daddy Kane

Big Daddy Kane is a Brooklyn, New York M.C. who undisputedly defined the term “lyricist” in the world of hip-hop. He is on his way to Australia for the first time, riled up and ready to hit The Espy in Melbourne on the 4th of October. With only one date scheduled this is sure to be a sell-out, so be prepared. Grab a ticket, and head into Melbourne and make a night of it!

Along with the lyrical ingenuity he brought to the genre, he also introduced innovative live performances as well. His stage name “Kane” was an acronym for King Asiatic Nobody’s Equal. In 1984, he met Biz Markie, and the two struck up a friendship. Kane would go on to co-write some of the Biz’s best-known raps, and both eventually became important members of the Queens-based Juice Crew, a collective headed by renowned producer Marley Marl.

Kane has endured a substantive music career. He has several gold albums, endless music accolades including a Grammy award. He also received a VH1 Hip Hop Honor in 2005.His catalogue of music consists of the LP “Long Live The Kane” that features the hit songs “Ain’t No Half Steppin'” and “Raw.” The LP “It’s A Big Daddy Thing” featured “Smooth Operator” “Warm It Up” and the Teddy Riley produced hit “I Get The Job Done.” The LP “Taste Of Chocolate” features “Hard Being The Kane” and “All Of Me” as well as a duet with the legendary Barry White. Additional albums were “Prince Of Darkness”, “Looks Like A Job For…” and “Daddy’s Home.” Kane has also recorded on movie soundtracks with “Lean On Me (Rap Summary)” from the film “Lean On Me.” “Nuff Respect” from the film “Juice”, “A Job Ain’t Nothin’ But Work” from “Mo’ Money”, and of course “Raw” from the film “Colors.”

As a powerful figure in the rap game, Kane has collaborated with many artists such as Kool G Rap, Masta Ace and Craig G on the Marley Marl produced “Symphany.” He has worked with Public Enemy and Ice Cube on the single “Burn, Hollywood Burn” with Heavy D on the single “Don’t Curse”, with Patti LaBelle on the certified gold single “Feels Like Another One”, and the Quincy Jones multi-platinum masterpiece “Tribute To Birdland” as well as the title cut “Back On The Block” from the album of the same name.
Proving that he is a full entertainer, and that he is a man of many talents, Kane has made a few appearances on the big screen in the movies “Posse” “Meteor Man” “Dead Heist” “Brown Sugar” and “Gunmen.”. He was also the first rapper to pose for Playgirl Magazine and was featured in Madonna’s famous Sex Book, along with Modonna and internationally renowned super model Naomi Campbell during the 1990s.

As well as being a Hip Hop fashion icon, and introducing sex appeal into the genre, Big Daddy Kane is regarded as one of the most influential and skilled golden age rappers. MTV put him at No. 7 in their Greatest MCs Of All Time list, he is placed at No.4 in Kool Moe Dee’s book There’s A God On The Mic: The True 50 Greatest MCs, and RZA lists him as one of his Top 5 best MCs.
