and didn’t release another album until 1998, when

he released Veteranz Day. Kane has also tried his

hand in acting, appearing in the movies Posse and

Gunmen, and even appeared in Madonna’s controversial

erotic book, Sex.

His newest

untitled LP features production by D.J. Premier and

Pete Rock. The Alchemist will also produce tracks

as well as executive produce the album and over see
