Influential MC Big Daddy Kane sat down with VladTV and shared his thoughts on the meaning of a label deal in the late ’80s, how he got down with The Juice Crew, and how he was caught in the middle between MC Shan and KRS-One.
The now infamous Juice Crew vs. Boogie Down Productions beef found Kane in the middle of the mess, as he was down with the Juice Crew through his connections to Biz Markie, while also knowing MC Shan didn’t care for him. He was also good friends with KRS-One during the height of the battle, as the “The Bridge is Over” spitter helped Kane early in his career, even helping him move out of his mother’s home.
DJ / producer The Last Skeptik has reunited with BBE Records for his new EP, lovingly titled: ‘I Don’t Even Like You’. It takes an electronic twist on his previous project, whilst maintaining the emotional, instrumental, soundtrack-rap. 7 tracks deep, the EP features two vocal tracks – one, with MTA Records own Dream Mclean, and the other with pop starlet FEMME.
The latest video to be taken from the EP is for the chilling ‘Cheerio’, which sees actor/comedian extraordinaire Doc Brown play a man unravelling in a fantastic and morose epic about hiding self destruction behind a literal “mask”.
‘I Don’t Even Like You’ EP launch party is this Thursday at Birthday’s, The Last Skeptik with his full 8-piece live band – and special guests Dream Mclean, Femme, Doc Brown and Jehst – free tickets here: https://billetto.co.uk/thelastskeptik
