Big Daddy Kane

Antonio Hardy (born September 10, 1968), better known by his stage name Big Daddy Kane, is an American rapper, producer and actor who began his career in 1986 as a member of the Juice Crew. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential and skilled MCs in hip hop. Rolling Stone ranked his song "Ain't No Half-Steppin'" number 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".
==Links to Peel==
Peel played some tracks from Big Daddy Kane on his radio programmes in the late 80's. However, by the early 90's, he started to lose interest in American hip hop and never played any of Big Daddy Kane's material during that period or after. After Peel's death in 2004, it was later found out that he had a copy of the rapper's 'Long Live The King' album in his Record Collection: K.
