Singapore Kane is a rapid rising rap star in his native city of Boston, Massachusetts. Being born of Jamaican decent to his mother Faith and Legendary Boston reggae artist Danny Tucker, Singapore was introduced to the sounds and rythym of music at an early age. Kane started his quest to become a force in the hip-hop industry in the fourth grade, discovering his ability to write clever poems, limericks and haiku's. Over time, Singapore has laid many of his competitors in the dust, hence his name Singapore Kane, derived through the lyrical bashing of his opponents during freestyle battles.Singa is most known for his ability to conjure up vivid imagery with his lyrics. Whether spitting on topics regarding the streets or world politics, his rhymes leave you with plenty to envision and contemplate . Singa explains it best, "You don't hear my lyrics, you see em." He is a dedicated advocate for inner city youth voicing their concerns and struggles on many of his tracks. Self-described as a "Street Journalist & Observer," Singapore represents his home-town of Mattapan and the controversies that surround him.
A list of his influences consist of artists Big Daddy Kane, N.W.A, KRS-1, and Nas. Singapore Kane has also made memorable appearances on:~Big Shug "Whos Hard?" Full Length Album~Devils Rejects "Necronomicon" Full Length Album~Chan "Politickin Volume 1" - Full Length Album~Singapore Kane "Welcome to Singapore" Mixtape"A protégé of Boston legend and Gang Starr affiliate Big Shug, Mattapan’s Singapore Kane might have the smoothest flow in hip-hop. No bullshit. Dude can slide a concrete rhyme across a Richard Marx sample and make it home in time to drop some lumber in your girl. With production from beat kings including DJ Premier and a cross-section of the Boston scene (Singapore plays both sides of the pavement—street and underground), his debut full-length should prove that he’s even more prolific than he displayed on this year’s dynamically written Welcome to Singapore mix tape." - Boston's Weekly Dig.
