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

    As a big fan of MFTB, Hells Winter, Leak Bro's, and even unreleased ish like Radiohead, I can say that I find DFM to be his best album, and I totally fail to see all this emo shit people mention, infact, I'm confident Cage's bars on Leak Bro's tracks are far more "emo" than anything on DFM....

    And all I'm saying is that your argument is illogical. Any artist that's released more than one album is going to have a best and a worst. That's how comparisons work. And besides, as I said, there's a ton of Cage material floating around out there outside of what is on Movies For The Blind, Hell's Winter, and Depart From Me.

    Sometimes I wish Lastfm would grow up. All i'm saying is he has 3 albums so far, they are all good. Some people are going to like it and some are going to hate it.

    TheHitMan202 = the retard of my morning... seconded btw I do like DFM and give it a listen from time to time, but I still think it's his worse album... I mean Kick Rocks?!?!?!?! That song alone puts the album down quite a bit. lol

    So it's unreasonable to call DFM his worst work to date because I think it's of poorer quality than the first two? You only need two items for any comparison, mate. Not to mention there's a shitload of Cage material to be had out there outside of the three "official" albums.

    you gotta remember that he's only had 3 studio albums. Saying DFM is his worse work doesn't mean too much so far. we need more albums before claiming worse and best. 3 isn't enough to claim shit. lol

    Dude, get a load of yourself. Obviously it occured to me, as I wrote "give it a 'better' chance" and not just "a chance". But whatever, no ones about to shove it down your throat. What quality are you expecting? More songs about drugs? He said it himself, he's through with it. Regarding the "trying new things", I wasn't pointing fingers, I said people *in general*. Don't deny it isn't true. Lastly... yeah, my opinion is right (in my own opinion ;P). I shoulda rephrased my initial argument.. "your logic is wrong".

    Did it ever occur to you that I DID give it a chance and still found it undeniably his worst work to date? It's not horrible, no. But it's not the quality that I expect from the Cage that released Movies for the Blind and Hell's Winter. It breaks my heart that you assume that just because I don't particularly care for Depart From Me that I am either (or both, rather) unable to deal with artists trying new things OR (AND) jumping on the "'omg new cage sux lol'" bandwagon. Perhaps YOU'RE the one who's a little too convinced that his opinion is obviously the right one, eh?

    "instead of listening to what everyone else listens to"... lol, grow up. Like the person below me said, I like *all* of his albums, strike that. It breaks my sad little heart when people can't deal with the concept of artists trying new things. DFM is a great album, and perhaps you should give it a better chance before jumping on the "omg new cage sux lol" bandwagon.

    Torcidalol ... if you actually listen and pay attention to the lyrics instead of just listening to what everyone else listens to you would see that, obviously, DFM is his worst album. No matter how many people play it. [2]

    jshaffer09 - A man who believes his opinion is obviously the correct one. Because the worst music gets the most plays, right? Of course!

    It makes me sad that Depart From Me is dominating Cage's charts when it's clearly his worst work to date.
