Big Daddy Kane – Get Into It Now on Mediafire
Big Daddy Kane is undoubtedly one of the most influential rappers of all time. Around the same time as Rakim and KRS-One, Brooklyn’s resourceful MC came into play and changed the lyrical landscape forever.
If you look at rap history, you can see the DNA of other Brooklyn greats like The Notorious B.I.G. and Jay-Z to Big Daddy Kane, everything from the one-liners to technical prowess on the microphone and flashy fashion sense.
We talked to Big Daddy Kane about his legacy, making the group cut “Show and Prove,” and why he likes It’s a Big Daddy Thing better than Long Live the Kane.
There is no rapper who embodies the word MC better than Big Daddy Kane. In the late ’80s, the Grammy Award-winning rapper emerged from the underground as a member of the biggest rap collective of all time: The Juice Crew. From there, he established himself as one of the most confident and technically adept rappers ever to play a microphone. To this day, Kane, along with Kool G Rap and Rakim, is credited with laying the foundation for what an elite MC should look and sound like.
Despite his legendary status, Kane, who lives in quiet Raleigh, North Carolina, was relatively far from making music. With the exception of the jazz album Back to the Future, which he released with his band The Supper in 2017, Kane, 51, hasn’t released a project in more than 20 years. He still performs regularly. And his live performances are second to none, featuring theatrical elements and dance routines along with his innate ability to kick ass. (This weekend he’ll be performing at the Art of Cool Festival, North Carolina’s premier music festival.)
