Hall of Fame: Big Daddy Kane
Originally a part of Marley Marl's Juice Crew this NYC-bred rapper enjoyed his heyday primarily between 1986 and 1992. By 1989, Big Daddy Kane was an indispensable part of the New Jack Swing movement, with his Teddy Riley-produced “I Get The Job Done” being one of the most slammin' songs to come out during that time period. Other notable Kane hits include, “Smooth Operator,” “It’s Hard Being The Kane,” and “Know The Ledge” from the Juice soundtrack, his last major hit. Kane is now considered a highly respected old-school artist, and he can still be heard on various mix-tapes and underground hip hop shows on the radio.
