Big Daddy Kane (born Antonio Harding, 10 September, 1968) is a rapper from Brooklyn, New York. During his career, he has worked with artists including Biz Markie, Marley Marl, Teddy Riley, Rudy Ray Moore and Barry White. He has posed for Playgirl and Madonna's Sex book. Widely regarded as one of the greatest rappers during the 'golden age' of hip hop (1987-1993), Kane's experimentation with R&B beats and his alignment to the Nation of Islam's Five Percent faction drew criticism. Later albums, such as Looks like a job for..., were acclaimed, but he was never able to return to the commercial and artistic success of It's a Big Daddy Thing. However, he still tours extensively and is involved in several upcoming projects. As an actor, Big Daddy Kane appeared in Mario Van Peebles' western "Posse".
