Grand Daddy I.U.

A smaller known MC from hip-hop’s golden age, Grand Daddy We.U. got the smooth participant image. Often donning a fit and connect, his verbal execution was aptly relaxed and collected; he previously the skilled hardcore rhymes and created his very own urban-polished beats. Nevertheless, he hardly ever really attained exactly the same prestige, or reputation, as his Cool Chillin’ labelmates and peers Kool G Rap and Big Daddy Kane. Delivered in Queens but elevated in Long Isle city Hempstead, Grand Daddy I.U. moved into the hip-hop business by using his sibling DJ Kay Cee, who persuaded him to construct a demonstration tape. They ultimately got the tape in to the hands of Biz Markie, who authorized Grand Daddy I.U. to Chilly Chillin’ in 1989. Made up of Chilly Chillin’ favorites “GRAB the Speed” as well as the easy, hook-laden “Sugars Free,” Clean Assassin was his debut recording in 1990. Although he and Kay Cee created the entire work, Biz Markie got the posting credits for each and every track, which created pressure between your two and fostered Grand Daddy I.U.’s hostility toward the rap market. However, he proceeded to operate for the label, ghostwriting and generating for Roxanne Shanté and Biz Markie. His second recording, Lead Tube (1994), by no means got any actual promotion because of the fact that this label have been heading downhill because it dropped their distribution cope with Warner. The disgruntled rapper decreased from the mic booth for nearly ten years afterward and continuing to create and create for other performers. A few of his productions made an appearance on albums by Das EFX, Heltah Skeltah, KRS-One, and Ice-T. In past due 2007, having a restored curiosity to record rhymes once again, Grand Daddy I.U. finally came back along with his third LP, Adhere to the Script, which also presented producers Large Teacher and Marco Polo. Distributor Visitors Entertainment also re-issued his Clean Assassin debut that same 12 months.
