built 657 days ago
Kano is Kane Robinson, the king of London garage. The 21 year old MC began rhyming in his East Ham bedroom three years ago, knocking out a track, Girls Love Boys, which brought focussed a lot of attention on the underground grime scene and smoothed his entry into the capital's famous Nasty Crew.

Kano recommended Kobun Gakuen be set up in Japan, but suggested Prince Saionji be consulted first since he was the Japanese Minister of Education. This was done, and in 1902 Saionji asked Kano to organize the school using professors from Gakushuin and Tokyo Educational College. The Japanese government helped support the new Kobun Gakuen which educated several hundred Chinese during the seven years of its existence. Needless to say, Judo was an integral part of the school's athletic activities.

In his early teens Kano attended Langdon Comprehensive School in East Ham, Newham, where his mother still works as a netball teacher for Year 8. Kano was a promising footballer, representing Chelsea F.C., Junior Hammers and Norwich City by the age of thirteen,[1] but in the end he abandoned his sporting ambitions in favour of a musical career. His cousins Jonathan Fortune and Clayton Fortune play for Charlton Athletic and Leyton Orient respectively.[2]

In 1935 Kano received the Asahi Prize for outstanding contributions in the fields of art, science and sports. Three years later he went to an IOC meeting in Cairo and succeeded in getting Tokyo nominated for the site of the 1940 Olympics at which Judo was to be included as one of the events for the first time.

Label boss Kano has rightfully earned the respect within the D&B scene and built Sinuous Records into a leading producer of quality tunes and talented artists. After three years in the game Sinuous Records have come along way, producing over 28 tracks including two high quality EPs and bags of raw talent for the future.
