“Ain’t No Nigga Like Me,” is Vain’s Theme Song and Special Dedication to Big Kap who we lost on February 3, of last year.
BIG Kap who achieved Platinum status for his and Funkmaster Flex‘s Album release, “The Tunnel” and is credited with helping to launch the career of Biggie Smalls, received numerous tributes after his death including one from the Grammy Awards!
Big Kap who co-signed Vain’s talent took Vain under his wing and into his studio where they collaborated on the single, “Bottles In The Air,” which features Vain, B. Morgan and a rare Big Kap vocal performance. Big Kap featured Vain’s single, “Throw It Back,” on his, ” State2State,” Mixtape which was his final release.
Vain went out on tour with Big Kap on his Burn Unit Legends Tour where Vain performed “Hello,” and he and Big Kap performed “Ain’t No Nigga Like Me,” together which was a personal favorite of Big Kap’s. They performed it live at the Coast to Coast Showcase and of this rare live performance footage is featured in the, ” Ain’t No Nigga Like Me,” video which can be seen here.
