Big Daddy Kane is coming to Prague on the 13th of May. The Grammy Award winning rapper started his career in 1986 as a member of the rap group the Juice Crew. He is widely considered to be one of the most influential and skilled MCs in hip hop. Rolling Stone magazine ranked his song “Ain’t No Half-Steppin'” #25 on its list of The 50 Greatest Hip-Hop Songs of All Time, calling him “a master wordsmith of rap’s late-golden age and a huge influence on a generation of MCs.”
The legend requires legends as support. With him is coming Marco Polo & Hannibal Stax!
Marco Polo is the man, who is determined to bring back the authentic boom-bap Brooklyn sound. Marco moved to NY in order to work in the legendary Cutting Room studio, and he’s used the skills he learned there to create his music. With features from hip-hop legends like Kool G. Rap, Kardinal Offishall, Buckshot, Wordsworth, O.C, Large Professor, Sadat X, King Tee, MC Eiht, Inspectah Deck z Wu, Tragedy Khadafi or DJ Revolution he released 5 solo albums on labels like Rawkus, Soulspazm, Pockets Linted or Duck Down. His music is a nod to hip-hop’s roots that still sounds fresh.
Hailing from Brooklyn NY, Hannibal Stax is a well-known underground emcee, member of acclaimed crew F.A.B.I.D. and a Gang Starr Foundation affiliate. Originally discovered by DJ Premier, Stax has been a fixture of NYC hip hop for years and was featured on two Gang Starr albums and numerous tracks that were lost in major label vaults. Although undoubtedly a veteran, Seize The Day represents his long awaited debut release.
