Listen close, this is for your own concern as The Kane proceeds to get Raw on a political and funky track for 2020. "Enough!" showcases Big Daddy Kane's lyrical ability to drop knowledge and social awareness as his rhymes educate and remain powerful as ever. This sign of the times hits with impact as BDK joins Chuck D and Loren Oden for a funk-fueled moment of Hip Hop leadership.
Below, a few Mixcloud gems that focus on Kane's classics. DJ Big Texas drops a mix of original samples from "A Taste Of Chocolate" while Kane performs timeless rhymes in The UK for '88.

""Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats & Rhymes" provides a riveting examination of manhood, sexism, and homophobia in hip-hop culture. Director Byron Hurt, former college quarterback and gender violence prevention educator, pays tribute to hip-hop while challenging the rap music industry to take responsibility for glamorizing destructive stereotypes of manhood. The documentary features revealing interviews about masculinity and sexism with rappers such as Mos Def, Chuck D, and Busta Rhymes, hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, and cultural commentators such as Michael Eric Dyson and Beverly Guy-Shetfall. Acclaimed for its fearless engagement with issues of race, gender violence, and the corporate exploitation of youth culture." - the Carsey-Wolf Center

"Fresh off the successfully funded Kickstarter campaign Legendary Hip Hop artist Edo G returns with his 11th studio album “After All These Years”. This new album features Hip Hop Icon Chuck D, Camp Lo, Guilty Simpson, Specialteamz, Jazz great Walter Beasley and more. Produced by Pete Rock, 9th Wonder, Marco Polo, Vanderslice, Explizit One and others.
“After All These Years” is a testament to Edo G’s longevity and consistency in Hip Hop. This album represents the classic Boom Bap that Edo G is known for since his 1991 debut “Life of a Kid in the Ghetto”. The album features “2 Turntable's and a Mic” produced by Pete Rock, which is reminiscent of that raw 90’s sound. “Fight” featuring Chuck D of Public Enemy is a hard edged track produced by Vanderslice with consciously driven lyrics. “Da Beef Goes On” featuring Specialteamz (Jaysaun & Slaine) touches an emotional chord on domestic violence and the effect it has on families & children.
Edo.G’s recent thoughts about his album: “After All These Years is pretty much self-explanatory. It's a combination of what I've learned over the last 23 years in Hip Hop and in life. For me it's a spring board to greater things. This record marks my third career in Hip Hop. The first was Ed OG and Da Bulldogs, the second as a solo artist, circa 1999 and now presently with my partner Jamieson Grillo and the launch of our new label 5th and Union. There are no limitations and the future of classic Hip Hop looks Bright.”" - Red Line Distribution
