Only 300 copies of the limited edition vinyl will be sold.

Omertá Inc. is releasing a limited edition vinyl reissue for Big Daddy Kane's seminal debut album Long Live The Kane. Produced entirely by Marley Marl, the 10-track album featured the likes of Biz Markie and Mister Cee, as well as the hit single "Ain't No Half-Steppin'." To this day the album is still considered a classic, revered for Kane's lyrical prowess and the production of Marl.
