Biography

There is more than one artist with this name:

1. The Rapper: Cage Kennylz (born Christian Palko), commonly known as Cage, is an underground rapper based in New York City, United States.

Cage’s life has gone from watching his father shoot heroin, to addiction and violence and mental institutions to cutting an album for Columbia Records and being a rising star in the heyday of the NYC independent rap scene, to the final culmination and personal triumph that his most current release Hell’s Winter has become. It’s a brand new record from someone who has been through more extreme circumstances than most people could ever imagine, and has come out triumphant and a better person because of it, and whose artistic vision now reflects this.

18 years old, fresh out of the lodge, Cage decided to pursue his the talent he honed while in hell and try to become a professional rapper. He made a demo, got a manager and was introduced to Pete Nice of 3rd Bass fame. Pete featured Cage on his solo effort “Dust to Dust” on the song “Rich Bring ‘Em Back” in 1993. This was his first appearance on a rap record.

Through Pete Nice Cage met fledgling radio personality Bobbito Garcia who had just started his soon to be legendary late night mix show with DJ Stretch Armstrong. He was invited up to the show several time, earning a rep in the emerging underground NY scene as a savage and raw new MC with an original style based on his tortured life and demented imagery

    @WOArulesMetal Uhhhhhhh, what? You realize that rappers are similar to vocalists in bands & don't HAVE to play an instrument, right? That is not the job description, they have no mandate to do so whatsoever. And if you want to counter with how some vocalists can also play instruments, some rappers also produce all of their own music (Necro, MF DOOM, El-P). On top of that, Cage is FAR from a mainstream rapper, not every rapper sounds like a mainstream rapper in the same way that not every Metal band sounds like Limp Bizkit or Korn. Just because you know absolutely nothing about a music genre doesn't give you the right to say it's not real music. Have a nice weekend, grandpa, don't forget to take your medication.[2]

    I dig both sides of the coin here. DFM is really different from Hell's Winter and MFTB but its still worth a listen. Stuff after 2009 sounds pretty decent as well with the Sam Hill stuff. See You in Hell is pretty good. Solid artist, overall. [2]

    Fuck this dude dropped off hard. Good on him for getting clean and healthy I guess, but musically give him a pack of ciggies, a bottle of sherm and a few cheeseburgers. [2] His old shit is still dope though.

    Way better when he was fat and on drugs. Oh well. I guess two decent solo albums and some sweet collabs are enough.
