Jadakiss Turns 50—Big Daddy Kane Collab Rumors Sprout Up
Jadakiss just hit the half-century mark and rang in the milestone with Hip-Hop royalty. The Yonkers legend celebrated his 50th birthday with a gathering that included the one and only Big Daddy Kane. And his own son, Jaewon. You all know the son is nice on the mic, too.
A now-circulating video shows Jadakiss giving his son a real time Hip-Hop history lesson about Big Daddy Kane’s impact. In the clip, Jada can be heard praising the Brooklyn rap legend as “one of the greatest rappers of all time.” Facts only.
The celebration was filled with good vibes, but I’m mostly concerned with culture, not cake. Kane and ‘Kiss might be cooking. According to whispers, there’s talk—unconfirmed but not unbelievable—that Jadakiss and Big Daddy Kane could be working on some music together. For me, even more interesting is the possibility of his son jumping on the same track. Tres generaciones!
Nothing is official just yet, but the mere idea of a cross-generational collaboration between Kane, Kiss and Kiss Jr. is giving me life.
In the meantime, The LOX have announced a new group project on the way. And if you recall, when AllHipHop chopped it up with Jadakiss last year, he made it clear: “I got new music coming.” Looks like he wasn’t bluffing.
Hip-Hop has already seen some solid releases this year, but if this rumored collaboration actually sees the light of day, it could be the jolt of energy the game’s been waiting for. How long can we live off crime, martial spats, Diddy and Kanye West?
Jadakiss, Big Daddy Kane and Jaewon is lyrical legacy.
