Posted: 12 Sep 2012, 1:34pmSubject: BIG DADDY KANE: FRI OCT 12 @HQ
Big Daddy Kane is coming to Australia for the very first time this October, bringing with him a massive show of old-school hip hop at its finest.
Out of Brooklyn, New York, Big Daddy Kane undisputedly defined the term ‘lyricist’ as far as hip hop goes, having first teamed up with Biz Markie in 1984 and co-writing some of Biz’s best-known raps. Both eventually became vital members of the Queens-based Juice Crew (headed by renowned producer Marley Marl), but Kane himself went on to endure a substantive music career. With several gold albums under his belt, endless music accolades (including a Grammy award) and having received a VH1 Hip Hop Honour in 2005, Kane has also collaborated with big names like Public Enemy and Ice Cube on the single Burn, Hollywood Burn, Heavy D on the single Don’t Curse, Patti LaBelle on the certified-gold single Feels Like Another One and with Quincy Jones on the multi-platinum masterpiece Tribute To Birdland.
Kane was named the seventh Greatest MC Of All Time, according to MTV, so don’t miss his debut appearance in Australia when he stops by HQ next month.
Tickets go on sale this Fri Sep 14.
