Big Daddy Kane Gives Financial Advice, Headlines BK Hip-Hop Fest

Legendary Brooklyn MC Big Daddy Kane has signed on to be the voice of Black Enterprise’s “Keys to a Better Life” radio spots, which will air nationally in April on 29 Clear Channel radio stations. In the spots, the Juice Crew rapper will detail Black Enterprise’s advice on home ownership, personal finance, health and credit.

It was also recently announced that Kane will headline the second annual Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival, which will take place on Sunday, June 24. The event is being billed as “family-friendly,” and will take place at the outdoor Tobacco Warehouse, a roofless landmark in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Tickets are free, but registration at brooklynbodega.com is required. Other performers have yet to be announced, but last year’s lineup included Brand Nubian, Little Brother, Rhymefest and more.
