In front of a live audience, the Smooth Operator himself and NCB discussed Kane's iconic career, getting the only sample ever cleared by Prince, hitting the studio with Rick James in the '80s, being left of the Batman soundtrack, and the many challenges he's faced in his career and how he's continued to persevere. The room was packed with fans sipping on Tres Generaciones Tequila, and the after party was jumping thanks to DJ Perly and DJ Drewski
