Big Daddy Kane @ City Winery

Kane was one of the first rappers with several Gold albums. He has endured a long
career giving us a catalogue of music such as his debut album “Long Live The Kane”
which features the classics “Ain’t No Half Steppin’” and “Raw”. He debunked the
sophomore curse with his 1989 hit “It’s A Big Daddy Thing” which features the
tracks “Smooth Operator,” “Warm It Up” and the Teddy Riley produced classic “I Get
The Job Done”. This album is his most successful album to date, and became
certified gold by the RIAA.

Kane’s third album “Taste Of Chocolate” which features “Hard Being The Kane” and
“All Of Me” a duet with the late, great Barry White displayed his love for soul music.
Additional albums were 1991’s “Prince Of Darkness,” 1993’s “Looks Like A Job
For…”, 1994’s “Daddy’s Home”, and 1998’s Veteran’z Day. Big Daddy Kane has also
been featured on film 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 “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 “The Symphony”.
He worked with Public Enemy and Ice Cube on the single “Burn, Hollywood Burn,”
with Heavy D on the single “Don’t Curse”, with UGK on “Next Up”, with Busta
Rhymes on the remix of “Don’t Touch Me”, with Patti LaBelle on the certified gold
single “Feels Like Another One” and `the Quincy Jones multi-platinum masterpiece
“Tribute To Birdland” and the title cut “Back On The Block” from the album of the
same name.

Over the years since his debut, Kane has added actor, designer and brand
ambassador, and fine wine connoisseur to his already extensive resume. His
distinctive baritone voice has been heard as the narrator of the critically acclaimed
documentary film “Notorious” and TV One’s “Being”. Kane’s big screen credits
include the films ”Posse”, “Meteor Man”, “Dead Heist”, “Brown Sugar” and “Gunmen”.
These films prepared him for roles in “Exposed” co-starring Keanu Reeves and
“Movie Madness” co-starring Lorenzo Lamas, both released in 2016. Most recently
Kane was featured on an episode of Law & Order SVU, a short film entitled “Stomach
People” and a 2021 TV One release entitled Bad Dad Rehab 2.
Kane’s love for fine wines inspired him to release a signature BDK wine entitled “A.
Monterio”, scheduled to be released late 2018. His sex appeal has prepared him to
be the Brand Ambassador of B. Walker Shoes, where he also designed the limited
edition BDK Collection.

Kane has been featured in every magazine from Rolling Stone to The Source and
included on every list of greatest M.C.’s dead or alive. Kane’s body of work has been
solidified when presented with a Grammy, a VH1 Hip-Hop Honors Award and
countless Lifetime Achievement Awards. In 2017 Kane was inducted into the Long
Island Hall of Fame, in 2018 Big Daddy Kane was not only inducted into the
Brooklyn Walk of Fame but he was presented with the Key to Brooklyn and in 2019
Kane was inducted into the North Carolina Hall of Fame.

The Man, The Legend, The Smooth Operator, “but it’s the Kane, so yo, you know the
outcome.”
