Album Notes & Community Reviews

Armed with a remarkably fast, smooth, and highly technical flow, Big Daddy Kane set a new benchmark for pure lyricism and battle rap boasting. Marley Marl's raw, drum-heavy boom-bap production provides the perfect minimalist canvas for Kane's energetic, rhythmic mastery of the microphone.
