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

you guys who are bashing the metal band for stealing the name realize that they have been around since 1992 right? The rapper didnt appear appear on record until 1993, and that was a guest vocal. That may seem close but realize that the metal band was going by the name Cage since the day they were formed, whereas the rapper didnt adopt his stage name until a few years after this guest vocal. I'm not bashing rap in any way, I like both genres, I'm just trying to educate.

I read a similar interview and I can't really see Cage mentiong acting black or not... I think it was likely to be taken out of context. He'll be well in the knowledge colour has nothing to do with any of this. I think the new sound just demonstrates a new direction in his life. Each album has led to the sound of DFM. Listen to them in order of which they came out and you can see a steady progression. Love it or hate it

Depart From Me was just kind of cheesy to me. His mindset behind it was kind of fucked also. In an interview he was talking about no longer "Acting Black?" Dude, black or white has nothing to do with hip-hop. It's one thing to stop dressing like you're from the hood, and even getting off of drugs and changing your lyrics up. It's another thing to ditch hip-hop in favor for this pretentious indie/hipster sound and THEN act as if the people who have a problem with it are closed minded and idiotic. I mean, even even Eyedea & Abilities stayed closer to hip-hop than Cage did and they went for an indie rock influence too! Also, Sean Martin didn't really add anything good to the mix either. Hells Winter was a good middlepoint, but Depart from Me was just stupid.

He's doing whatever he can to stay afloat and that means doing shows where ever. Business is business. Now if he does a song with them on the next album. Eh. That's some cause for alarm.

I still don't mind Depart from Me. . . but ya know, I wanna know if he can still freestyle.

There's something amusing about the fact that most of the people saying that he sucks now have a pretty limited range of hip-hop artists.
