Still as far as I'm concerned one of the best Hip-Hop MCs in the game, past present or future.....

Big Daddy Kane a.k.a. King Asiatic Nobody's Equal was born Antonio Hardy on September 10, 1968 in Brooklyn, New York.

He started out as one of the core members of the classic Queens, NY Hip-Hop collective, the Juice Crew in 1986 (which also included producer Marley Marl, DJs Mr. Cee & DJ Polo and Hip-Hop MCs Roxanne Shante, Dimples D, Tragedy Khadafi, Craig G, Kool G Rap, Cool V, Masta Ace, MC Shan and Biz Markie).

Big Daddy Kane is known for being one of the masters of having a smooth fast-rapping Hip-Hop flow (which is sort of a miracle considering he's asthmastic).

During the period from the late 1980s to early 1990s (which more and more seem to be rightfully called Hip-Hop's Golden Age) while he was on Cold Chillin' Records, Big Daddy Kane dropped classic songs like "Raw", "Ain't No Half-Steppin'" (from his first album, Long Live The Kane), "Smooth Operator", "I Get The Job Done" (both from the It's a Big Daddy Thing album, the most commercially successul album so from from him), "The Symphony" (with the Juice Crew on Marley's Marl's In Control, Volume 1), "The PJs" and way more fire joints...

He went through a lot of drama back in the day for what seems stunningly normal and blase now in today's Hip-Hop/Rap scene - experimenting with flowing over R&B beats and being aligned with the Nation of Gods and Earths/Five Percent Nation.

** NOTE: Which I don't know what gets me more now looking back on the latter half of this sentence, especially since most of our best Hip-Hop MCs from the NYC/NJ Metro area during the classic period up to the mid-1990s - Rakim, Wu-Tang Clan, Poor Righeous Teachers, Brand Nubian, Busta Rhymes, MF Doom aka Zeb Love X of KMD, etc. - had the same affilations. It is what it is, I guess...**

As an actor, Big Daddy Kane debuted in actor/director Mario Van Peebles' Posse (still one of the best Black Westerns of all time next to Buck and the Preacher) and Robert Townsend's The Meteor Man in the 1990s.

He also made "interesting" entertainment turns posing for Playgirl and Madonna's Sex book (before she got into Kabbalah, electronica music, being mad self-righteous and whatnot) during that time period.

Now, along with constantly being on tour and performing, Big Daddy Kane is still on the grind like crazy doing solid guest verses and appearnces with a variety of music artists in the past decade, including working with folks like Jurassic 5, Morcheeba, Little Brother, Alchemist, DJ Babu of the Beat Junkies and most recently Busta Rhymes (with the "Don't Touch Me (Throw Da Water On 'Em)" RMX).

Hey there BlackRadioIsBack.com and FuseBox Radio Broadcast family,

If you're going to be in the Baltimore, MD area this Saturday, August 23, 2008, you can check out both myself and my partner, Jon Judah, over at the Making The Right Moves Conference in the Baltimore Covention Center.

I'll be on one of the "Industry Power Moves" panels and the both of us should be there about all day checking out acts, other on point panels and things going on thoughout the day.

Here is a description about the Making The Right Moves Conference from their official website:

The goal of the MAKIN THE RIGHT MOVES ENTERTAINMENT CONFERENCE is to give the independent artists the real truth of what it takes to succeed in the entertainment industry.

This conference is intended to guide the entertainer in the much needed areas. The panels will discuss topics, such as the correct way to start a business; how to make a profit after completing a project, and the most effective way to market a product.

The panels will contain various people from all parts of the entertainment industry.

Our ultimate goal at the end of the conference is to help each artist who attends attain the skills and knowledge they may have been lacking to complete a successful projects.

Hope to see y'all there!

For more information about the Making The Right Moves Conference (schedule, acts performing, panelists, and such), please check out the official website here.

This is the FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Jon Judah for the week of August 20, 2008 with some new and classic Hip-Hop & Soul music, news and commentary.



This week we had a on point interview with author Douglas A. Blackmon for his book, Slavery By Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II (now currently out on Doubleday Books), which "brings to light one of the most shameful chapters in American history—when a cynical new form of slavery was resurrected from the ashes of the Civil War and re-imposed on hundreds of thousands of African-Americans until the dawn of World War II" by throwing Black Men, Women and Children into prison in the South for labor purposes under false pretenses to be arrested.

Feel free to hit him up the official book website, http://www.slaverybyanothername.com.

Due to the interview, there is no new segment of Black Agenda Report and no Direct EFX segment (due to summer break for colleges).

Feel free to check out some recent episodes of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast here on BlackRadioIsBack.com - all of the shows are clean/radio friendly.
