About this listen

In this episode, Cari chops it up with a true legend — Big Daddy Kane. We discuss the legacy of Rock the Bells, the roots of hip-hop, and why storytelling remains at the heart of the game.

Kane takes us back to his battle rap days and walks us through his rise, from hungry lyricist to certified pioneer. We delve into the creation of classics like "Smooth Operator," what it means to perform with purpose, and how his style continues to be reflected in today’s artists.

We also break down the many layers of hip-hop, conscious rap, mainstream hits, battle bars, and why it all matters. Kane drops gems on where the culture’s been, where it’s headed, and how artists can protect their legacy by knowing their worth and their business.

This one’s for the hip-hop heads, the artists, and anybody who still believes in the power of authenticity in music.
