Antonio
Hardy (born September 10, 1968), better known by his stage name
Big Daddy Kane, is a record producer/rapper from the Bed-Stuy
section of Brooklyn, New York. He worked with artists including
2Pac, Big L, Biz Markie, Marley Marl, Public Enemy, Teddy Riley,
Rudy Ray Moore and Barry White. Heavily influenced by Grandmaster
Caz in his earlier years, he continued to improve his fast flow
and freestyle battle techniques. Part of Marley Marl's legendary
Juice Crew, he also penned lyrics for fellow members Biz Markie
and Roxanne Shanté. Kane was responsible for jump-starting
and being the archetype for the career of Jay-Z and the Notorious
B.I.G, Jay-Z now a hugely commercially successful rapper got his
start as Kane's hypeman. He now lives in the Raleigh-Durham region
of North Carolina. He is regarded as one of the greatest rappers
of all time.
THE
FREAKS COME OUT AT NIGHT, FRIENDS AND ONE LOVE
Whodini
is a rap group that was formed in 1981. The Brooklyn, New
York-based trio consisted of vocalist and main lyricist Jalil
Hutchins; co-vocalist John Fletcher, aka Ecstasy (who wore a Zorro-style
hat as his trademark); and turntable artist DJ Drew Carter, aka
Grandmaster Dee. Whodini was among the first hip-hop groups to
cultivate a high-profile national following for hip hop music
and made significant inroads on urban radio. As they were contemporaries
of other hip-hop groups such as the Fat Boys, Grandmaster Flash
and the Furious Five, and Afrika Bambaataa, the group was managed
by Russell Simmons, brother of Joseph “Run” Simmons
of Run-D.M.C.. The group signed with London-based independent
record label Jive Records in 1982; they enjoyed a string of hits
for several years, mostly charting on Urban and R&B radio
stations. The bulk of production on their releases was done by
Larry Smith, a bass player who also handled much of Run-D.M.C.’s
early work.
