Smooth & sexy RnB joints, plus a special live appearance from the King of Grime - KANO.

Kane Brett Robinson (born 21 May 1985 in East Ham, Newham, London), better known as Kano, is a British rapper. His grandparents came to the United Kingdom as immigrants from Jamaica. He was a key member in East London’s N.A.S.T.Y. Crew (Natural Artistic Sounds Touching You), but due to a major argument within the Crew has since left N.A.S.T.Y.

In 2008, Kano no longer was signed to 679 Recordings and had posted all new freestyles on his Myspace page. Soon after in April, he released a mixtape called Mc No. 1 for fans before his third album 140 Grime Street hit the shelves. Despite the fact that Kano had said he wanted to go back to making grime music for 140 Grime Street, in MC No. 1 he used all American hip hop beats for the songs, yet it was still well received by fans.

140 Grime Street was released on 29 September 2008 through BPM (Bigger Picture Music). The majority of the album was produced by Mikey J, with Wiley and DaVinChe supplying two beats each, and Skepta handing the production for the song These MC`s. The album featured guest appearances from Ghetto, Skepta, Wiley, and Mikey J. The first single released was Hustler.

In 2005, Kano was nominated for 4 MOBO (Music of Black Origin) Awards, winning the award for Best Newcomer. He also won an award at the first Channel U "Best of British" Awards. On New Year`s Eve 2005, Kano was announced as one of "London`s Heroes of 2005" by Mayor of London Ken Livingstone. He was also nominated for a BRIT Award for Best Urban Act in January 2006. Kano made a small cameo appearance in the new British film, Rollin` with the Nines, and is a playable character in the game Def Jam: Icon, the only British person to have yet been featured. Kano has received praise from many music critics who tend to cite his smooth techniques and confidence as strengths. Additionally, although he does have an accent, his rhymes seem to be easier for Americans to understand than some other rappers of the same genre, which has earned him some fame in the States.

So there you have it, you would be crazy to miss this pioneer passing through - get ready for a night of hip hop, garage, grime and of course the main man... KANO!
