Antonio Hardy (born September 10, 1968), better known by his stage name Big Daddy Kane, is an American rapper 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.

The name Big Daddy Kane came from a variation on Caine, David Carradine’s character from the TV show Kung Fu (1972-1975), and a character called “Big Daddy” Vincent Price played in the film Beach Party (1963). 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”.

In 1984, Kane became friends with Biz Markie, and he would co-write some of Biz’s best-known lyrics. Both eventually became important members of the Queens-based Juice Crew, a collective headed by renowned producer Marley Marl. Kane signed with Tyrone Williams’s (Marl’s manager) and Len Fichtelberg’s Cold Chillin’ Records label in 1987 and debuted the same year with the 12″ single “Raw”, which was an underground hit.

Kane is known for his ability to syncopate over faster hip hop beats, and despite his asthmatic condition, he is acknowledged as one of the pioneering masters of fast rhyming. His sense of style is renowned and set a number of late-1980s and early-1990s hip hop trends (high-top fades hairstyles, velour suits, and four-finger rings). The backronym “King Asiatic Nobody’s Equal” is often applied to his moniker.

He released his debut album on Cold Chillin’ Records in the early summer of 1988 called Long Live the Kane, which featured the hit “Ain’t No Half Steppin'”. The following year, Kane released his second album and biggest hit to date, It’s a Big Daddy Thing, which included 1970s sample throwbacks like “Smooth Operator” and the Teddy Riley-produced track “I Get the Job Done”, which hit the R&B top 40 during the closing of the 1980s. He also had a memorable verse on the Marley Marl-produced track “The Symphony” released in late 1988, which included Juice Crew members Craig G, Masta Ace, and Kool G Rap.

During the early 1990s, Jay-Z toured with Kane, and Kane helped him early on in his career. Ice-T says: “I actually met Jay-Z with Kane. Kane brought Jay-Z over to my house.” Kane himself says that Jay-Z was not technically his hypeman in the true sense of the term: “he wasn’t a hypeman, he basically made cameo appearances on stage. When I would leave the stage to go change outfits, I would bring out Jay-Z and Positive K and let them freestyle until I came back to the stage.” Jay-Z was also featured on Big Daddy Kane’s track “Show & Prove” from Daddy’s Home (1994), as well as in the video.
