And another:

Now get your homeboys, your posse, your crew and come to London on Thursday 23rd April 2009 and meet up with me, Wizla, Ridla, Dan Fluent, Big Jim, as many old school heads as we can get from the UK to all go for a beer first, chat shit and reminisce, then go to the jam and dance like twats while watching a genuine hip hop legend.

Please please please try and come to this night, we are using it to get a load of old faces together, so if you were a member of Heroes Of UK Hip Hop, or you post on Diggers With Gratitude, or you used to be on Blade’s forum, or any other site where the old school dwell, get your arse down to the big smoke for this night it’ll be the bollocks!  If you’re on Facebook, Wizla is kinda unoficially organising the meet so if you know him hit him up, I’ll put a post on the DS group there as well.

We’re meeting up first for a pint atthe Zenzi Bar then going across to the do.  There’s gonna be a good few heads still big in the UK game there, so meet up first and get aqauinted, it’ll be a good crack.

Here’s some background about him:

Emerging during hip-hop’s massive creative expansion of the late ’80s, Big Daddy Kane was the ultimate lover man of rap’s first decade, yet there was more to him than the stylish wardrobe, gold jewelry, and sophisticated charisma.
Kane possessed a prodigious rhyming technique honed from numerous B-boy battles;  While he never scored much pop-crossover success, his best material ranks among the finest hip-hop of its era, and his sex-drenched persona was enormously influential on countless future would-be players.
Big Daddy Kane was born Antonio Hardy in Brooklyn , the stage name “Kane” was an acronym for King Asiatic Nobody’s Equal.

In 1984, he met Biz Markie, and the two struck up a friendship. Kane would go on to co-write some of the Biz’s best-known raps, and both eventually became important members of the Queens-based Juice Crew, a collective headed by renowned producer Marley Marl.
Kane signed with Marl’s Cold Chillin’ label in 1987 and debuted the following year with the 12″ single “Raw,” which became an underground sensation. His first album, Long Live the Kane, followed not long after and was equally well-received, producing another underground classic in “Ain’t No Half-Steppin’.” Kane consolidated his success with 1989′s It’s a Big Daddy Thing, which spawned arguably his most effective love-man song in “Smooth Operator”  1990′s A Taste of Chocolate was a wide-ranging effort, highlighted by Kane’s duets with Barry White and comedian Rudy Ray Moore, aka Dolemite.
Kane moved to the MCA label for 1994′s Daddy’s Home, and also dabbled in an acting career with appearances in Mario Van Peebles’ 1993 black Western Posse and 1994′s Gunmen. However, he largely retired from the scene over the next few years.
Kane resurfaced in 1998 on Blackheart Records, releasing Veteranz Day.

I’ll try and organise some Disco Scratch giveaways!

Peace, hopefully see you there!
